Listening or talking

We mostly listen.

Most people only talk to be heard, not to listen to what someone else has to say. The people I took as an example in one of my earlier writtings are happy while, especially the female, can talk.

They do not really need you to say anything. The male do asks some questions so now and then but most of the time is interrupted by his wife. They are together for almost 40 years and have developed a routine, so he just leans back and listens as well.

When surrounded by people who need to talk we do not say much, we do not preache, we do not try to change them, we just accept them as they are, and keep focus on self increasing awareness, which creates love instead of judgement for the so called others.
