“Once we listen more effectively so we understand one another’s point of view, we can put aside our insistence that others agree with us. When we communicate by both talking and listening, we are more likely to grasp and understand the views and perspectives of others. When this happens, it nurtures a sense of caring and understanding between all parties involved in the dialogue. In these mutually respectful conversations, judgment can be eliminated in favor of curiosity about others and the world around us.”
