Do not tell, just ask




I was musing on the misunderstandings between people and realized then they often do not want to listen, they only want to tell the other their own story.
I got that insight probably from You, or was it my own mind?
Would you like to comment on this?

Is your thinking not also maintained by Me?
But it does not matter, if an insight of your thinking is yours or suggested by God, the question is whether it is true.

The spirit of wisdom is present among people when one
  • only talks about one is knowing of
  • listens first to the other
  • waits with one’s own story
  • realizes one own’s perspective is just one own’s perspective
  • realizes other people may have other views
  • not needs to hold a contest on insights
  • accepts different views aren’t threatful
  • accepts some one else can have his  own truth
  • realizes the truth of the other does not threaten its own truth
  • asks questions to the other
  • questions and questions deeper
  • asks open questions like: what do you mean?”
  • accepts God is in the other.
Actually, the guiding principle is: "Do not tell, just ask."
 
My blessings to you all
