the king did not listen to the people.
the king did not listen to the people.
To listen is the
beginning of peace
Wise leadership comes from listening. It’s interesting to
note that the elders didn’t say the lightening had to be permanent though I suppose to go back on
it would be just as bad as the arrogant speech the king did make.
Ok, fundamental human issue we all desperately want to
understand and be understood. Unwillingness to listen is often the trigger for
conflict at all levels.
You know it makes me feel better if I think at least one
person listened to me today. Maybe there’s a service in that. I could see
someone operating a listening booth where a person could go and just talk and
be heard without being told anything. How refreshing that could be.
