I’m not good at listening especially when someone is preaching their views, even if they are the same as mine. I enjoy conversation but not a speaker talking and not letting you interject your opinions or objections to thoughts as one speaks them. I’ve paid to be educated and even then want my questions answered and my objections heard. I have never been good in a classroom where the instructor felt only his voice needed to be heard. I was not brought up under the rule of “children should only be seen and not heard”. My father was always very interested in my thoughts and I was always interested in his thoughts on mine. To me if there is no give and take in conversation then the person speaking is doing a soliloquy or is only interested in his ideas and opinions. Being a wall is not a position I have ever taken in life nor do I see it happening in any view of my future. In the quietness of love I think the honest and truthful speak and are heard. In the need to be heard beyond what is actually necessary IMO reveals a self center being. These thoughts are not new in my life and as my attention span is decreasing with age I feel that my life needs less noise and more love and prayer. This presidency is not sitting well with me. It is making all desperate with their opinions and very irritated in their daily lives lashing out with constant verbal abuse. I feel this president will get us into a war to cover his wrong doing. He and his staff are acting like animals backed into a corner by firing the FBI Director This is a sad day for our country. The House needs to get to the bottom of this, quickly. History is repeating itself: I’ve lived through this Nixonian senario before.
