Hearing vs. Understanding

 

Sometimes, we hear with our biases and expecations, picking out just enough words to from an opinion. These opinions might be based on our beliefs, insecurities, and even formed to justify our beliefs. 

Hearing, listening, and understanding are different things. When we learn to really listen to all the words, and ask for clarification if needed, will we learn to communicate effectively with others.
