People don't really listen anymore, well most people anyway. They hear words but don't always take the time to hear the emotion, fears, excitement,..... that is present when we communicate using speech.
This has the effect of taking away our voice. If no one really cares to listen then we don't put the same thought and care into what we say. We become less concerned with the words we use, the attitude we convey, the impressions we leave behind.
If lucky enough to have true friends, then we are lucky enough to know what it is like when others truly listen to us. In turn it also helps us to become better listeners and to foster relationships that grow from REAL communication where we listen with our ears, our experiences, our patience and our hearts.
