“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.”James 1Learn to listen and you step out of selfishness and into love. The only reason some people ask a question is so they can give the answer. Listening is not an opportunity to multitask--not to think about what you want to say when it is your turn but to focus fully on what is being said while it is being said. To listen is also to hear what is not being said as much as what is being said. We must listen not only to the words but the tune of another’s song--the emotions beneath the words.
