  2. to hear and to comprehend what is being stated. One can listen without “hearing” the message, to listen implies full attention to the speaker and an understanding of the message. One can be an active listener (paying attention to what it said)or a passive listener (just hearing word)

  4. I really wish my husband would listen to me when i talk. Sometimes I feel like i live in a vacuum where my thoughts, feelings, beliefs, are just put on ignore. I wish he understood how much this hurts me. He is much more interested in “doing” than “feeling”. And he is a good man adn a good father. I just want to be validated, I don’t think that is too much to ask. I guess I should try harder.

  5. Delight in the foods of the other – wonderful words from the soul will interwine with your very own, and wait from within to hit you. They may haunt, or they may rapture an endless love and warm the caverns of your heart, yet for once, you will be glad.

  6. Listen to the words above you, they float like a cotton misdt in the depths of your mind. They dance like an endless voyage aorund the borders of your mind and you sing – sing for your soul. But who, it is said, are to hear? The voices of another will sit by you and speak endlessly. The speak, now listen.

  9. I can listen with my ears. If you listen instead of talk, sometimes you find out things you would never know otherwise. Listening is much better than talking and makes people feel like the are important. If you are a good listener you are a good friend!

  10. we need to listen to each other. this will not working without completely and honestly listening to each other. and not just the words which come form our mouths, we need to listen to what is not said, and what we are saying with things other than words.

  12. Don’t listen to the shouldn’ts. Listen to what your heart tells you to do. Listen to those who love you! Don’t be intimidated by things you don’t think you can do or fear of failure. Listen to the successful, brave, healthy, thin person inside of you. It’s very freeing! I should try it myself.!

    by Peggy on 05.01.2008
  13. Listen is to keep your mouth shut and your ears open. It is one of the greatest aspects we humans possess, and yet we hardly use it. We always seem to miss the sounds of nature. When you go outside today, open up your ears, and listen to the sounds around you.

  14. This is definitely something I need to do better. If we all listened to each other, the wind, the birds, and sometimes just silence, I believe the world would be a better place. Listening is a skill that we have when we are born, but seem to tune out the older we get, (how do you think we learned to talk???? By listening!) Sometimes the things we need most are there, we just need to listen for the prompting that comes from shutting our lips and opening the minds-eye of our ears!

  15. no sound. well the computer is humming and the keys are clacking. just me. no sound. *sigh* i miss my kiddos. just me. and the computer. humming. where are the dogs?

  17. You know I think it’s ridiculous. It’s all buzzing past your ears. You can’t hear me. I want to scream out. You tell me to talk about it with you, I talk at you and your eyes glaze. Darling please just take a few moments out of your day… Darling please just open your ears… Darling

  18. Listening to you speak listening to the rain love listening to the radio i wish i could tell him and hed listen wish he’d stop playing mind games with me!

  19. I will listen to what others wiser than myself have to say. I always expect my children to listen to me, however that doesn’t always happen. I try very hard to listen to the small still voice of God but sometimes its not so small, is it?? Have you ever listened to a baby laugh so hard that you started crying??

  20. poison in my mind focuses on your words snatching their meaning before i grasp it and leaving the doubt fear and tears

  21. sometimes i talk so much that i forget to listen. it is like i am already thinking about what to say next and totally miss what is being said to me. my boyfriend often has conversations wherein i interact and then cannot remember what I said b/c i was too busy thinking in my head about what i need to be doing instead of listening.

  22. listen to my heartbreak please. listen. listen. listen. listen to yours as well. listen. listen. listen. thats all I can say.

  23. Listen to the birds sing. Listen to the bbes buzz. Just close your eyes. Beautiful sounds are all around you. Did you ever notice that silence isn’t really silence, after all? Have you ever been somewhere really, truly silent? There’s always something, be it the smallest of smallest sounds. You can hear your heartbeat, your breath, the fall of a leaf.

  24. having someone paying attention and really taking in what you are saying.

    To listen is to block out everything else and kind of hone in. To look deeper than words to look at body language, look them in the eye. To listen is to recall and feel and react on their words or just take it in. Listening is vital and very few do it .

  25. listen. JUST FUCKING LISTEN. i want to know you think about me. i want to know you care about what i’m doing. because honestly, sometimes it just feels like you’re using me. if we would have gone to different colleges would we still be talking? are we talking right now? sometimes i wish i could cut you out of my life like i know i should. you’re bad for me and you don’t even know it.

    by Dana on 05.01.2008
  26. i had a friend who seemed to think that “listening” was thinking of all that she would say when next given a chance to speak. i think i was likely her only friend… or at least until i caught her stealing my drugs. Now she has NONE. oh well.

  27. I listen a lot. I’d rather talk than listen. Someone I knew told me that I can’t just listen. That I have to contribute too or no one will know my perspective of things. No one would ever learn from me, strengthen their own beliefs, or challenge them if I never spoke up. I still haven’t.

  28. Who wants to listen when you can talk yourself? That seems to be the prevailing opinion these days. No one ever just sits back and really listens to anyone else anymore.

    by Lex on 05.01.2008
  29. I don’t always listen well enough. Husbands and kids rarely listen. I like to listen to the sounds of silence in my backyard. It’s amazing what you’ll hear when you just shut up and listen. Sometimes people can’t listen because they’re too busy talking

    by Debi on 05.01.2008
  30. Listening is much more important by talking. It’s how you learn. If you can’t listen you’ll never know the truth and you probably stop others from hearing what is worth listening to. Read a book, listen to music, open your mind.

  31. to me when I talk to you. Don’t argue with me, just listen. I have a lot of things to say to you but I am afraid that you will not listen or that it will hurt your feelings. Why can’t you hear me when I talk to you? Please listen to what I have to say because my words are important to me and it is important to me that you hear them. Believe me when I talk to you. Believe that my words are important to me and I want them to be important to you. Listening to me will help us both. I will also listen to you and understand what you are saying to me. I will listen without interrupting you and I will listen with respect. Please offer me the same respect that I give you.

  32. Listen, I know what you’re thinking. But that’s not the thing of it okay? I mean, it was just that one time. I was drunk. She was high. I’m not trying to take her from you. We were just having a good time. Not like she really remembers much of it anyways. But I promise. She’s yours. We’re over. Done.

  33. I always talk too much and need to listen more. When I meet someone I introduce myself and ask their name. It goes right out of my head. I’ve been getting better at asking AGAIN what their name is and making an association with it so I won’t forget.

    In conversations I really need to listen more

    by Kathy on 05.01.2008
  34. We should all be trained to listen better, to actually hear that a person is saying to us is indeed a gift. How many times have you sat and talked to someone only to realize you have not really heard a word they said. If a person is taking the time to share thoughts with you then you should give them the gift of listening. There may actually be words of wisdom imparted there.

    by Lisa on 05.01.2008
  35. i listen to you. i hear you. listen that is such a strong word. sometimes i think im listening but my mind is so off in another world. listen to my music. ahhhh what the hell listen to what. my head hurts when i listen to you. my gosh i need to listen more to my heart then my head, dont you think so. listening can suck.

    by leija on 05.01.2008
  36. listen to me already I don’t want to keep yelling at you I just want you to hear what I am saying and have it matter to you for once but I don’t think that will ever be possible. You just don’t care enough to listen anymore!!!

    by Meryum on 05.01.2008
  37. Be quiet.
    Stop it.
    It’s my turn.
    I need to tell you how I feel.
    I need to tell you what you’ve done to me.
    I need to let you know.
    Your incessant chatter, banter, and flirting is too much.
    You just need to hear what I have to say.
    Just listen.

  38. Wow, I’m sitting her right now, listening to my Dh & my youngest DS play rockband, it’s loud, but you know, I love this! The baby is in the highchair & every few minutes, I hear her jabbering away. As much as I like quiet, I can’t imagine not being able to hear my family having fun together. I love to listen to them when they don’t know i’m paying attention. I’ve learned a lot about them this way.

  39. sure sure listening is great–and highly regarded by the masses…but let’s be honest it feels a lot better to be the one doing the talking.

    by katy on 05.01.2008
  40. I listen to the sound of music, to the sound of wind blowing through the trees.

    Listening is an art that is more important than speaking. If we never listened we would not understand the world around us, we would not know about how other people felt.

    I listen…..
