PLEASE LISTEN!! when I ask you to listen and u start giving me advice,u have not done what I asked. When I ask you to listen to me and you begin to tell me why I shouldnt feel that way,your trampling on my feelings. When I ask you to listen to me and you feel you have to do something to solve my problem,you have failed me...Strange as that may seem. Listen!All I ask is that you listen. Dont talk or do just listen to me... Advice is cheap;R1,30 cents will get you both truth and lies in the same news paper . And I can do for myself;im not helpless.maybe discouraged and faltering,but not helpless. When you do sometimes for me that I can and need to do for myself,you contribute to my fear and inadequacy. But when you accept as a simple fact that I feel what I feel,no matter how irrational,then I can stop trying to convince you and get about this business of understanding whats behind this irrational feeling. And when thats clear,the answers are obvious and I do not need advice.Irrational feelings makes sense when we understand whats behind them. Perhaps thats why prayer work,isometimes,for some people-because God is mute,and he doesnt give advice or try to fix things.God just listens and let you work it out for yourself. So please listen and just hear me.and if you want to talk,wait a minute for your turn-and I will listen to you. LISTENING IS A SKILL,IT GETS BETTER WITH PRACTICE!!!
