Listening.
That's the important first step. In communicating with each other. We carry
on monologues. Rather than dialogues. We don't listen to what others
are saying. I'm guilty, too often. I should be a much better listener.
Doesn't matter if I'm a good talker. Or a good writer. Better to be a
good listener. First and foremost. Of course, I'm often dealing with
bad listeners. But still, I have an obligation to listen. Even to
incoherent thoughts. And only then find a way to cultivate a true
dialogue. It's up to me. To take the initiative. By giving everyone the
courtesy of being listened to. --Jim Broede
