"Must one first batter their ears, that they may learn to hear with their eyes? Must one clatter like kettledrums and penitential preachers? Or do they only believe the stammerer?"
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus spoke Zarathustra (

Sometimes I use my eyes to listen people, not only my ears. I observe their body language, their gestures, their eyes and usually this talk to me more than their words.
I hope to never lose the capacity to listen people and situations. ;)
Happy Monday
