Each one wants to hear only his voice and imposes his points of view, a futile stubbornness that often ends up in severing relationships, abandonment or even breaking hearts. I wished that when we were born, that we would not cry so that we would be used to silence and learn the art of listening, so that it would be a growing character with us over time. It is said that silence is wisdom, but wisdom only comes after the passage of time, when we need it at the beginning of our life, otherwise what is the point of attaining the wisdom of silence in our old age when silence already becomes our only refuge.

We lose patience, we want to talk just to hear our voice or for fun. We have not yet realized that the lack of listening is the cause behind all the wars and the problems. No one can deny that what we witness in this world today is a consequence of the lack of exchange with others and of stubbornness.

What are we going to lose if we shut up and listen to others?!! just for a moment giving them the opportunity to express themselves in return?!!!!. We are born with one mouth but two ears and this is supposed to teach us the great lesson that silence takes priority over speech.

We must learn to listen to others, not to pass judgment, but to try to understand them and give them enough time to explain themselves and to deliver the messages they want.. Then we try to clarify all aspects to make sure that we fully understand what they want to convey to us.

We have to be more
open, broader and more accepting of the other.

We have the right to be angry, but we do not have the right to offend others or reject their opinions . In fact, When we talk, we like to be heard by others maybe this is a general nature in all of us, because listening makes us feel confident and respected, and makes us feel important. On the other hand, we must also try to empathize with what the others want to say, make them feel interesting and interact with their thoughts , and even help them to put their problems clearly and safely, because we enjoy their words, or we like to win their affection and maintain our relations with them in a good and solid manner, even when there is a a difference or a contest, we should try to listen to their justifications so as not to fall in a potential controversy.

Dialogue and discussion have principles, including silence and listening to the other. We must also respect the other's opinion and put ourselves in his shoes to understand his point of view. Discussion is an opportunity to exchange ideas and opinions. We may not agree with the other in what he says, but we are obligated to listen and give him space to explain his opinion. In general, we engage in dialogue to communicate, not to agree on one opinion, because each person has his own vision, and the main issue is not to get angry at the opinion of others and not to rush into prejudices.

To listen intently to someone is one of the best ways to show respect for them, and to form a deep human connection with them. When you listen to someone with your mind and your whole being, it sends them a message that you value and respect what they have to say.

Indeed, the ability to listen to others and listen to what they say is an art and any art. It is not only a skill that a person must acquire in order to improve communication between him and others, but it is really an art, as it is the basis of every good conversation, and it is considered one of the keys to diplomacy, etiquette and dealing.
