“A father once told me, “I can't understand my kid. He just won't listen to me at all.” “Let me restate what you just said,” I replied. “You don't understand your son because he won't listen to you?” “That's right,” he replied. “Let me try again,” I said. “You don't understand your son because he won't listen to you?” “That's what I said,” he impatiently replied. “I thought that to understand another person, you needed to listen to him,” I suggested. “OH!” he said. There was a long pause. “Oh!” he said again, as the light began to dawn. “Oh, yeah! But I do understand him. I know what he's going through. I went through the same thing myself. I guess what I don't understand is why he won't listen to me.” This man didn't have the vaguest idea of what was really going on inside his boy's head. He looked into his own head and thought he saw the world, including his boy. That's the case with so many of us. We're filled with our own rightness, our own autobiography. We want to be understood. Our conversations become collective monologues, and we never really understand what's going on inside another human being.”
