Listening is the fine art of accepting/receiving the other person. When someone is really listening to me, there is a somatic experience that goes beyond the words alone. To be a good listener requires deep presence which is already atrophied in our culture. Social media has contributed to the loss of interest/ability to receive the other and invites debate which at times is not useful. Thank you John for highlighting this.
