Listening to others, especially to those in need, is the greatest gift and the greatest help that can be given, because no one knows what is best for another person, so listening attentively is the greatest help, the greatest companionship that can be given.
And yes, it has happened to me countless times, many times I receive messages from people I haven't seen for a long time or even just on the phone and they need to talk, without there being someone on the other side making a judgement about this or that situation.
After they tell me, they say thank you for listening, I needed someone to pay attention to me and not to judge... unburden me.
That's very gratifying. It just happened to me with a friend last Wednesday who broke up with his girl.
It seems you know what's up. ✅
That's right and I am happy to listen to others!
