Just A Thought ~ LISTENING TO OTHERS

"We cannot let another person into our hearts unless we empty ourselves. We can truly listen to him or truly hear her only out of emptiness."

~ M. Scott Peck, American Inspirational Writer ~

Emptying oneself means to put aside the ego, or the dominant thoughts of 'I', 'Me' and 'Mine' ~ for a while, at least; we cannot do it permanently, unfortunately, as such is not within our capacity ~ in the recognition that someone else is important. We've all had the experience of not being listened to, and so know that it's not a thing we should subject another to. Pay others the compliment of listening to them.
