It is much more difficult

and costly

(to our ego)

To invest in the lives of those around

by asking them questions about their life,

by inquiring of their opinions on things,

and by listening without prejudice,

instead of monologuing,

or dispensing advice

that no one is asking for.

The art of conversation.

Me and you.

Two.

Equals.

Two ears to listen.

Two mouths to speak.

Everyone has a voice.

Everyone deserves to be heard.
