Listen

There's a great article in the current issue of Ode Magazine titled "Don't Just Do Something, Stand There" by Kim Ridley. It's about listening rather than giving advice or trying to fix other people's problems. One of the first things they taught us when I was studying psychology is that people don't want advice. They just want to be heard. So few people really listen, though. We have become a nation of non-stop talkers, and nobody's listening.
