Do you even listen to me?
Have you seen this, is it possible that you pour your heart out talking to someone and they don't even have the courtesy to hear you out? Yes, that's the majority. They wait for you to finish because they have their ideas that they want to put out there and try hard to convince you that you are wrong, and you don't get it.
That is the quality of our conversations now. We can't talk and express how or what we feel, no we have to listen to those who believe they have a theory and if you apply it to your situation or it is you are going through it will be better.
Listening and the beauty that comes with it is endangered, we are losing the capacity of our humanity and what makes us special, having the urge to prove we are better and more aware.
I sometimes see a couple having a meal somewhere, but they are better with their phones than with each other, they feel more comfortable and connected to this parallel world where they could express what they feel or what they want, how they think or what matters for them without being grilled or judged.
The space in our hearts and minds that we can share with those who we care for is getting tighter and tighter, and as much as we are self-centered, we are as lonelier we are getting.
The practice of listening and feeling others for it, for the comfort of the other person who would like to share an emotion or situation or an experience they are going through, the subject is listen and be there present connecting with them not judging or analyzing.
The joy of listening, did you ever notice when you listen without jumping to conclusion or solution how joyful that is and how can that be a teaching moment, because when we listen purely, we get to know things about the person whom we are listening to and about new ways of seeing and observing life and situations, beautiful and easily done.
Listen with your heart and ears, put your mind on a sleep mode, and enjoy the listening with all comes with it.
Have a great day everyone, and I hear you.
