LEARN TO LISTEN - LISTEN TO LEARN
"No man would listen to you talk if he didn't know it was his turn next." (Quote by Ed howe, an American novelist)
This is natural a human being (may be animal also) born with a desire “to be listened”, but to "be listened", it is also obligatory that one should have the bearing to listen to others.
Just take your own example. You are with a group of friends and some conversation is going on. Just imagine what would be your feelings, when you find one of your friends talking about something and you are anxious to give your own views on it. You may interrupt and prompt your view point or you will wait to let him/her finish. Now suppose after having finished the talk your friend leaves without letting you give your view point, what will be your emotion. Would you listen to him/her next time or just try to ignore. So we listen to others on the expectation that we would also be listened.
BUT there is an exception. Yes…………..I am giving you my own view point. There is an exception, and this exception is with those who are deeply in love (Ishiq). In this condition, the lover just wants to hear his beloved talk and talk and talk! He wishes that she would continuously keep talking and he would keep listening to her sweet voice, keep seeing the movement of her rose petal lips. This is the only condition when the listener has no desire to be listened. He just wants to listen.

nice blog MR Mishaikh,u r right it is exactly the same for nearly all.i meam feelings toward listener and to be listened ,........tnx for sharing.
Thanks sewar for your elaboration.
If apply what have you said to our kids, a lot more problems are solved.
Wow.......This is an interesting thought to be shared because, in one hand it makes us to reconsider about our habit of lessening with others, and in another hand, if we master this habit, it will give the people which are around us enough courage to open up when we listen carefully to them and make them feel that we take their words and their feelings seriously. So, they know how we care about them and that makes them feel happier. Then, what we hope more???? My best for you my friend.
