 I wonder if you could learn to keep quiet when you're in the presence of someone that you're better listening to than talking to. I wonder if you could count to five sometimes before you are about to speak and in that five second gap instead choose to listen when you would have spoken. And I think we will learn more. I think we'll be appreciated more by people. I think it will deepen our empathy and deepen our human connection if we'll learn to listen more and speak less. You know, listening isn't waiting to talk. Listening isn't, I'm waiting for you to shut up so I can say what I've already decided to say while you're still talking. Some people's version of listening is they're just waiting for someone else to be quiet, then they can start talking again. Now listening isn't thinking about what you're going to say next. Listening is listening to what's been said to us and thinking about how we can interact with that in a way that enhances what's been said to us, rather than in a way that we can put out opinion and be the one that then gets to talk more than the one that's doing the talking.
