Read this for the 100th time today: Listen... no one ever learned anything by talking.I'd have to disagree. Should more people do more listening and less talking? Almost certainly. However, therapy would be useless and friends would be unnecessary, if nothing were learned by talking. Much can be learned by talking. Talking to a friend, a pastor, a mentor or a counselor, or even to yourself puts ideas and feelings into words that can then be explored, analyzed, contradicted or understood. I tend to believe that exploration, analysis, contradiction and understanding are powerful tools for learning.
Ever learned anything powerful about the world, someone else or yourself by talking?
