Sometimes You Hear Someone Speaking And Immediately Want To Respond Why? Sometimes You Read A Text Message And Only Respond To One Part Of It But Why? Listening Requires What Exactly? Pretty Sure You Have To Listen First Then Respond Right? Understanding Falls Somewhere In There So Don't Forget That Because That's Another Component. Your Response Is Needed Yet Your Ears Are More Important When Listening Because You Have The Ability To Understand Everything That's Said Before You Give An Answer. Sound, Ok? You Know Listening To Somebody Talk Isn't The Only Way? Reading Signs From People Is Probably One Of The Biggest Achievements To Have And One Of The Rarest Things You Can Learn. You Like Your Girl Right? Well, She Loves It When You Can Read Her Body Language Better Than Her But Understand Her Enough To Answer Her Fully And Not Leave Any Response Unspoken. Even If You Have A Guy, You Like You Don't Think We Like When Somebody Listens To Us? You Can't Say This Enough But Having A Keen Ear And Minor Complications When It Comes To Understanding Means The World To Us. Listening Before You React Brings Joy Like When You Have Your Favorite Food Fresh And Hot And Ready To Eat. You Feel Excitement About What's Coming Next And Your Worries Whether Or Not Somebody Understands What You're Saying Slowly Declines.

Realizing What Life Brings When A Person Doesn't Hear You Or Isn't Paying Attention To Your Conversation Makes You Feel Weird Right? Does It Makes You Feel Unwanted And Unappreciated? Maybe The Conversation Isn't Much Of Anything Or Not Important At All But You Can Say 1000 Words And The Person Only Picks Up A Few Of Them. Is That Fair? Everybody Has Their Own Intentions But So Do You Because You Can Either Keep Talking Or Take That Into Consideration And Make A Statement By Not Talking To That Person About Anything. You With Me So Far? It's Like When You're On A Date And Somebody On Their Phone The Whole Time And Barely Saying A Word To You Because The Phone Is More Imperative. Most Think Listening Requires A 401k And A Pension Plan When In Reality It's Just Time And Attention With A Willingness To Be There For That Person. Some People Really Need You To Only Listen And Hear Them Out Because Nobody Else Can Hear Past Their Voice. What That Means Is Somebody Can Tell You Their Ok But In Reality, Their Torn On The Inside And Can't Express It Right Because Who Hears Them For Real? Who Sees Past The Pain And Looks Into Your Soul Or Heart When Emotions Run High? We All Don't Have The Answer But We Have The Strength And Knowledge To Listen Whenever In Conversation With Someone Else. It's Not Rocket Science It's The Principle About The Situation. For Some It Doesn't Matter Whether You Listen Or Not But You Think By Them Not Caring That They'll Keep Talking With You? Let's Be Honest Here For A Change And Understand The Bigger Picture That You Don't Have Time To Listen When Somebody Is Conversating With You Then You're Going To Be Alone For The Most Part. Nobody Wants Someone Who Doesn't Care About Listening And Understanding Because You're Basically Nonexistent Or Irrelevant When It Comes To Interacting And You're Looking Clueless As If You Don't Know What's Happening.

Trust And Believe That Feeling Doesn't Look Good On Anybody And Never Will. Listening Requires Trust Between Both Parties. Why Talk If The Energy Can't Be Reciprocated? Listening Opens Up So Much Between You And Someone Else It Brings You More Together And The Conversations Get Deeper And Stronger To Where You Can Literally Talk About Anything. When You Can Talk About It All You're Never On The Downfall.
