To know why don't v listen 2 others, let us think when do v listen 2 others. V listen 2 others when v think other is having some information which might b useful 2 us. Simple. Otherwise v don't want 2 listen 2 anybody in dis world. Other reason for not listening is dat v think v are 2 intelligent and d other person is fool. The moment v think d other person is fool, our ears automatically switches 2 passive listening from active listening. V have got a very judgmental mind. V always judge other person by his dress, background, qualification, religion, previous experiences etc etc. Sometimes v want a reason 2 b judgmental and because of dis judgmental mind, we don't listen. This leaves a very little room 2 see the things from different perspective. Secondly d moment u categorize d other person as fool, u give a right 2 other person 2 think d same about u. So just imagine the communication between 2 intelligent persons who think that the other person is fool. :-)
Listening can b a big stress buster for both, 1 who is speaking & 1who is listening, provided listener wants 2 listen. Think, last time when did u called up ur friend & heard all of his/her story with out interrupting on anything. Lend ur ears 2 ur near n dear ones.
