Listening/ Anonymous When I ask you to listen to me and you start giving me advice, you have not done what I asked. When I ask you to listen to me and you begin to tell me why I shouldn’t feel that way, you are trampling on my feelings. When I ask you to listen to me and you think you have to do something to solve my problem you have failed me, strange as that may seem. Listen! All I asked was that you listen, not talk or do…just hear me advice is cheap; 25 cents will get you both Dear Abby and Billy Graham in the same newspaper. And I can do that myself. I am not helpless. maybe discouraged and faltering, but not helpless. When you do something for me that I can do for myself, you contribute to my fear and inadequacy. But when you accept as a simple fact that I do feel what I feel, no matter how irrational, then I can quit trying to convince you and can get about the business of understanding what’s behind this irrational feeling. And when it’s clear, the answers are obvious and I don’t need advice. Irrational feelings make sense when we understand what’s behind them. Perhaps that’s why prayer works sometimes, for some people… because God is mute and doesn’t give advice or try to fix things. He or (She) just listens and let’s you work it out yourself. So please listen and just hear me and if you want to talk, wait a minute for your turn… and I’ll listen to you.
