Do you want to be "right"
or be effective?
You can be technically correct,
but the person you argue with
is telling you something valuable.
They are telling you what is
Emotionally True to them,
what matters most to them.
They are telling you exactly
what you need to understand,
in order to forge an agreement.
Can we even really hear
each other anymore?

Listening, really listening and not just waiting for a gap to insert our own thoughts, is a powerful force. A force for good.
That is so wise,we should all think more about it and act like that, world would be more peaceful then☺
"Can we even really hear each other anymore?"
Maybe in Jan 2021, we'll start to hear better.
That last shot is my favourite of the set.
Your perceptive comments put more pep and hope into my day! Thanks, Dears
Few people seem to listen.
Thanks for looking in, dear P
Beautiful images of the Frog.
Now this post was thought provoking. I hope that when I'm with others that I set aside cultural encapsulation and judgement so that I can more adequately gain better insight into their world view and really hear what they are saying. Holding others in unconditional positive regard and 'meeting them where they are' isn't always easy, but I try.
