The first duty of love is listen

It's by Paul Tillich and I got no idea who he is, but it contains truth. You need to hear out the people from your environment. With listening, we can reduce conflict and come to a solution provided the stakeholders are willing to change.

However, listening skill is so hard to achieve yet polish. This is because we have our own ego and sometimes we let these ego to overrule us. We want to hear things sometimes that stroke our ego bringing us to a fall. Do we care about it? Yes, only after disaster happens. And yet, sometimes people prefer to stick to their ego because it's much comfortable or rather safe. In their heart, they must be wondering what happens if they free themselves from their ego etch deeply in their heart. Instead reprimanding people who change themselves, we should congratulate them for having the courage to release themselves from the ego grip. Did we even realise that?

No matter how painful it is, I will listen to my partner and friends and I hope it will be reciprocal.
