I was told once long ago about the wisdom of listening before speaking. It went "you have two ears and one mouth, so you should listen twice as much as you talk." This statement rings true. It is right as rain but hardly practiced. I'm starting to understand why that is. Look very close how I convey this. In my opinion, the ego desires to be heard over reason. Many people I have heard, encountered or interacted with recently have been the perpetrators of wanting "their versions" of reality to be right over fact and objective reasoning. A person will argue a point taken out of context to the ground, just for sake of "winning" the arguement. Yes, you succeeded. Succeeded at shop wing how uninformed you are. Thst's where the real problems lie I think. Some people just don't want to admit they are wrong. That's not negative or defeatist. It can actually liberate a person to a higher consciousness and understand so that they can attempt to listen more than they talk. I usually let people ramble on even though Im jumping at the bit with my perception on things but in reality, they don't want to hear my side. They just want someone to agree with them. Let a person talk more, they will tell you about themselves. To go further, they will inform you in so many subtle ways of they care about what you have to say or not, whether you are right or wrong. This is not effective communication. Listen more. Be humble. Assert courtesy. Speak fact.. Shed light. Also..... Listen more. Thanks for reading this out.
