Listening is an art. It’s a skill that many people have, as well as a skill many people could improve upon. It occurred to me while trying to listen to people that we don’t often listen enough or well enough. I wonder sometimes if people you hear “talking to themselves,” while sometimes medically condition to do so, might just have been tired of waiting for people to listen to them.
I know it’s hard to listen especially when someone is complaining a lot, but I think it would even things out in the long run. After all, some conversations about relationships tend to focus on this very thing. “He or she doesn’t listen to me.”
Maybe for another new year’s resolution I can learn to listen more closely. Even if I might not always like what I hear :)
