On listening

The Long Road to Humility

The long road to humility is comprised of many things,

but the first step, undoubtedly, is to listen more than we speak.

Listening is a skill that can be practiced—

like anything else: chess, soccer, quidditch.

To listen well,

we must empty our minds

and fully pay attention to what is being said,

without adding our own judgments.

It is through seeing things

from another point of view

that we truly begin to understand

who we are listening to.
