Wandering Thought #211: Listening
A sure way to strain all relationships is to keep demanding others to listen to you, while not listening to others at all, for the ability to listen sincerely, to understand truly, and to respond appropriately is the basis of any relationship. Communication is the lifeblood of all relationships, that oxygenates their living processes, keeping them alive. If the blood in your body flows only one way, without circulating in a all rounded way, surely, you are nearing the end of life. Likewise, for relationships to thrive, we must listen to one another deeply, to relate to one another deeply, even if we do not agree at times, which is when each party should all the more listen to what each has to say.
