“Nothing speaks louder to a hungry man than a meal, and nothing speaks more clearly to a doubter than the not speaking of genuine listening. To listen conveys more than any words.” Os Guinness
“Most of us find it easier to speak of the importance of an individual than to show it in practice by listening to one.” Os Guinness In Two Minds
I am reminded here of Nillson's lyrics, "Eveybody's talkin' at me, they don't hear a word I'm sayin'"
How much better this world could be if we would make even the most basic attempts to hear what others are saying, or are trying to say.
