Care And Love

Just Listen

Just listening helps

“To be kind

is more important than to be right.

Many times

what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks

but a special heart that listens.”

We can all understand this quote.

Just listening helps.

Every one of us

needs ‘a listening ear’ every now and then

to get the help we may need,

even if it’s just to ‘get things off our chest.’

We need to communicate,

it’s just in us as humans,

so when someone needs to talk

— just listen!

Being kind enough to listen

encourages trust, understanding and compassion

for both the one who is talking

and the one who is listening.

Just listening helps.

Clever words are not what is needed,

but kind, ‘merciful’ and sympathetic words

which let the other person know

that we care and love him or her.

Just listening helps.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
