“Listening is more than hearing sounds; it is the act of giving full attention to another being or to a moment. It involves suspending our own narrative long enough to truly receive what is offered. ... It is surprising how often we listen with the intent to respond rather than the intent to understand. We mentally prepare our reply while the other person is still speaking”
Quote by Ajmal, from the book "Borders of the Inner World"
