Talk less and listen more My fortune cookie said To stop being a bore Be empathic instead
And I might learn something along the way From something somebody else has to say
Thirty years have passed now Each season in its turn But I am aghast how Some people never learn
If we all could talk less and listen more To something somebody else has to say Think and then ask what we are dying for We just might learn something along the way
This is wise. I might add, though that if we all talked less and listened more we run the risk of hearing only silence. Each waiting on the other to speak.
By the way. How did you fit all that into a fortune cookie? LOL
God Bless,

You got that right, Steven ~ Talk less...Listen more!
There is so much to be learned when one takes the focus of themselves, off themselves and hear how other people have lived...
Amen!
Love and peace~
