Thanks @coruscate

I have read lots of Dale Carnegie's books on making friends and relating with people and one thing that resonated as i read your post is this:

"We must listen to others to understand, not to reply."

When we listen to understand we connect with their soul, the fountain of their outpouring, and the essensce of their communication. When we listen to reply, we are shallow to their words, lacks understanding of their shades of meaning, and end up giving wrong judgement.

Exactly @pulchritude! It can be a difficult skill to master, but can really improve ones ability to listen deeply and stay present.

Oh that’s awesome @sadplanet! I’ve seen a few of his videos in the past and I really like his work! I may need to go listen to a few more now. 😊
