“The first duty of love is to listen.” Paul Tillich

Listening is itself an act of love. It is a singular kindness that we freely give to people when we stop long enough to give them our personal attention. Lord knows we should not try and impress people with what we know, but to make others feel their own importance to us by giving them our complete attention. If we were to ask someone we just spent an hour with how they felt about the conversation, would we have left them with the impression of how important we are to them, or how important they are to us?
