Both Eyes Fixed

How many days do I wish that I could read someone's mind? If that wish could be granted, would I wish I had never asked for it in the first place? If someone asked you how they could serve you better, would you be able to tell them? I'm not used to being served.

I know that love always serves, but is serving always done in love? A man's role is to sacrifice his own needs and desires for those of another. Stay, one might be hurt. Walk away, both might be. No wonder people put up walls.

I can't stand talking with people who don't listen. I'm guilty of this sometimes too, so I'm sure I've offended or hurt other people in this way.

Some people think they're good listeners. They sit there and listen until they hear what they were waiting for and then respond to it. That's not being a good listener.

Being a good listener is not thinking about your response until you're sure you've heard what the person is really saying. Good listeners can figure out what the other person is trying to say even if they can't articulate it.

So please..... if you want to bother talking with me, either let me listen to you, or try and listen to me. If not, I don't want to talk with you.
