Do you listen?

I dont like to follow. This has been both a blessing and a curse, but always a lesson. I want my own experince, whether its "good" or "bad". You can not teach life to children. You can not pass down your experince, as the old saying goes, if only i could put an old head on young shoulders. Life is about experince, its how we learn, and its how we live remember and connect with others. But I do enjoy listening to other people, and its amazing how much people will say when you just sit and listen. So many times people i have just met tell me some really weird stuff. Stuff that I would never tell people. Yet for some reason they tell me, maybe they need to get it out, maybe people dont often listen to them. I dont know what it is. BUt quite often the stories are really sad. That people out there are suffering, and there are so few people willing to give their own time, to just be quiet and listen. Why is it that people dont enjoy listening???? I think the world would be in a lot better shape if we all had to listen to someone talk for 30min, each day.
