Good communication starts with open and respectful listening.
This doesn’t mean we have to agree with what we hear, but that we listen with a mood to understand and validate. We listen with both intellect (for the content) and with heart (for the feelings). This receptive attitude builds a loving and trusting relationship.
There are different opinions regarding social issues or spiritual philosophy. Any perspective, side of an issue, or point can be carried to an extreme in relation to others.
