Relations

Today had a big fight with my mom... Passive listening is the main cause... People got used to machines who act in the way they instruct. They apply the same to other people also. But people are not machines, they are persons with brain and hence cannot do the things as it is... Their own thought process comes in between and tries to suggest or give response , which is taken as opposition.

While we are listening to others if we could just listen and understand - its enough to have great relationships. The problem is we listen only till other's talk supporting us. From the point when others start talking about something else, we just start our thought process and think what to tell them to defend their idea and support ours. If we could just listen and understand their point of view, many things would change. Its not necessary to accept them or do as they like, but just listen with concentration and understand.

Many things in life have many options, they can never be single optioned. If two people have different opinions- just see then as different, not as opposite. And both should discuss and come to a medium point which should benefit both. Both have to have compromises but if it comes after understanding, it would be beautiful and happy not painful...
