Listen With the Heart

This video has always touched me and reminds me to listen with my heart.  Too many times we judge others based only on what we see with our eyes or hear with our ears. Are they struggling? Are they in pain? Are they lonely or feeling loss? Have they just not been taught the better path?

We do not know what people are going through or why they make the choices they do. Getting close enough with our heart, to hear theirs, is wiser than just stamping them hopeless and walking on by. You never know, you may be the one who leads them down the road to something better.

By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are. ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer
