Thought for the day...

At the moment I am reading The Day I Died by Steve Sjogren. This stood out to me:

"I am learning that listening is less about solving problems and more about helping a person uncover what he or she actually wants to say."


Could the ability and willingness to approach conversation with an attitude of service be one of the most undervalued skills in today's world?

This is William Blake. He knew that one day, a special breed of “Artists” going to offer this conversation that you are talking about, for a fee. And Blake wrote this way before Marx did the Manifesto! Yesterday we had friends but today we pay for psychiatrists. Welcome to Capitalism comrade! ;-)
