I loved this piece - maybe because it called out a few of my own bad habits. In the past I frequently “listened” only to respond. I also just “listened” to provide a solution to the speakers problem. As I’ve grown older I have found a high degree of clarity in learning to listen - truly listen - to a person. It has opened up a world I never imagined possible. A view into a life. Someone else’s perspective. With all the nuance and nature and worldview that comes with it. Truly life changing.
