i've heard that the greatest thing we as mankind desire is communication, to connect with one another. but i disagree. i do think that we all want something in common though, but it's not communication or connection.
we want to be heard.
you can say all that you want to say, mean every single word but it won't make any difference if no one is listening to you. if no one listens, no one is heard and if no one is heard, aren't we alone after all?
and it's interesting for me that in my religion, God always hears you. it's a beautiful thing really and i'm realizing how true this all is the more i think and write and wonder about it all. the truest peace comes from the Heavenly Father who always hears his children.
so the greatest happiness is found when you lose yourself and serve others, give yourself to making another person happy. so listen. listen to the child and their off-key singing. listen to the man bearing his testimony, even though he has an annoying voice. listen to your children, for maybe you if you did you would realize that they are trying after all. listen to your friends, because haven't they always listened to you?
the biggest changes usually come about from something small. i wish this were something i could change in this world. i wish we could all just hear one another.
so pass it on.
