Lately, I've noticed that we people are listening to each other. We think we are listening but we're not hearing what the other person thinks and feels. We are listening to prepare a counter argument.
People discussing the Supreme Court decision in overturning Roe: one side is talking about women's rights; the other side is talking about the baby's.
People discussing the homosexual issues: one side is talking about gay people; the other side is thinking sodomy.
Yesterday, my writers' group discussed accepting someone who doesn't write: some people said he can tell his stories; others questioned how can we help him write. IOW, one side was focused on stories; the other side was thinking of the art of writing. Is the point, stories or writing?
