Greetings to all; as we begin this week, let us try to understand what others are saying.
In life, there can be times when others make us feel that our opinions are not important and do not matter. The truth is that every person and their opinions do matter. We fall into danger of self when we think what we say only matters and do not want to hear what others say.
"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply." Stephen Covey -
Proverbs 18:2 (NIV)
2 A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.
Lesson: We must remember that each of us holds a valuable perspective, and our opinions deserve to be heard. Let us listen, learn, and understand to avoid becoming self-centered and being called a fool, thinking that our views are the only ones that matter.
