When you hear someone telling you a story, you listen and smile, but what you are really thinking is how to premember and continue, how to absorb and process, how to sympathize, how to make sure that interest was maintained but the body language may not be cohesive with the thoughts but it would work it will work when you continue to listen. Listening is important.

But if you listen and it goes through your head, and it goes through the motions of listening but the ears don't absorb anything you end up being an incredibly boring reciever. Telephone game, recieve the playing.

So if you have people to listen to, please go and listen anyway, work that much harder to be into the conversation, since there will be one day when you are going to need someone to listen... Hopefully someone will be there for you.

love,
