(2018·南通、泰州一模)It ems that we're talking more than ever.And it's true that we have more platforms for connection and communication than ever before.But what feels like conversation is actually just talking.Conversation — the exchange of ideas and thoughts between two people in which both understand one another and respond to each other — is disappearing underneath the mountains of posts, and texts.
It's that conversation I want to revive (恢复), the kind that involves judging fairly and carefully the qualities of the other and increas empathy (心灵相通)．That眼镜排行's the kind of bond that builds bridges and cross the divides splitting us apart.
Can you still have that kind of conversation? Of cour you can.The first barrier is th
e phone.A study showed that the mere prence of a phone, even one that didn't belong to the people talking, made tho involved in a chat more likely to e the other person as unfriendly and untrustworthy.So, the first step is to put it away.
Next, stop avoiding conversations you think might lead to an argument and instead learn to have the discussion without arguing.You do that by choosing to learn from the conversation instead of teaching.Don't try to educate the other person, prove them wrong or change their mind, becau that probably won't happen.
Instead, make it your goal to learn more about their perspective (视角)．This is an excellent way to increa your own empathy and stimulate (激发) your mind with new ideas.You may disagree with what they're saying, but you're doing a lot of good for yourlf in listening to them with respect.
And that brings us to the next step: listen.Listening is a skill and we aren't born knowing how to do it well.Often we hear just the first few words someone speaks a
nd then start crafting our respon.That's a common habit and it's hard to break.
In order to listen effectively, you have to allow thoughts to enter your head and then let them flow right back out so you can return to listening.It's not easy, but it's necessary if you hope to really hear and understand what another person is saying.
Learning to listen is an intenly rewarding experience.The people around you, even strangers, have crets and hidden talents.If you haven't heard them, you've misd out on a lot of fascinating stories and helpful advice.
We have all become very expert at expressing our own thoughts and feelings, and social media gives us endless methods for publishing them.But talking teaches you nothing, and so it's no surpri when we learn nothing about each other and find it hard to keep the conversation going.
So, put your mobile down and look at the people around you.Take a chance and as
k someone a question, and then really listen to their answer.You might be surprid by the change in your perspective.西周礼乐制度
