| I think that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. When people are 1 , there's no need to do 2 but receive them. Listen to what they're saying. Most times letting someone talk is more 3 than understanding it. One of my 4 told me that sometimes when she tried to tell her story, people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happened to them. Finally she stopped talking to most people and became very 5 . We connect through listening. When we 6 , they know we care. Many people with cancer can talk about the relief (宽慰) of having someone just listen. I have 7 learned to respond (反应) to someone crying by just listening. I just listen. When they have 8 all they need to cry, they find me there with them. This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very 9 . I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the 10 . A loving silence often has far more power than the words. | ||||
