“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” Simone Weil
When we give another person our full-undivided attention, we’re telling them that we care about them and they’re interests. When we’re listening to another person, we’ve stopped thinking about our thoughts instead we’re listening to them telling us their thoughts out loud. If the subject matter the person is discussing is of interest to us, then it is easy to give our full attention. However, if the subject matter the person is discussing is not of interest to us, then our attention is truly a form of generosity but with an opportunity to learn something that can be useful to us.
