Listen for what is meant in argument.

June 1, 2025

If you are opposed to the actions of a neighbor, you can express that opposition lovingly. You can express that opposition with patience. You can express your disapproval of the action, yet acknowledge the importance of the actor. By reaffirming the value, you are strengthening the bond that connects that person to his or her soul, thereby improving and deepening the meaningful content of that individual’s life. In so doing, you are eliminating an encountered difficulty.

It is well known that it takes two to have an argument. If one is angered and expresses that anger, and the other remains quiet and listens not to what’s being said but to what is being meant, there is no argument. One has expressed frustrations or anger; the other has listened and will understand the source of that anger more clearly than by argument, by challenging or refuting.
