Hey Brian, do you think it's a good idea to seek first to understand, then to be understood? I really hope to understand you more mate. And I really LOVE the idea of God's MAD MAD WORLD, where MAD= Making A Difference. Let's do that!!!
Kitty It is always a good plan to understand before trying to be understood. Understanding builds bridges, trying to be understood is a defensive act that too easily becomes offensive and just stops conversation. Rgds Bj
In my new post I have written about how seeking to be understood is important in order to achieve synergy in interpersonal relationships. But I do agree that it's more important to seek FIRST to understand, THEN to be understood. Kitty x
