Hearing vs. Listening (what's the difference)
Just the other day I was watching the dark comedic drama “I’m Dying Up Here”. There was a scene in which an older woman speaks of why she’d chosen her husband even though she dated his brother. Her answer was a simple one. She said her husband hears her. The person inquiring about it all said that her boyfriend is a good listener. The woman replied saying anyone can listen but hearing means they are trying to better understand. Anyone can listen but the question is do they actually hear you?
An example is I can listen to someone speak to me in a foreign language or even my own language. Unless I understand what they are actually saying I am just listening and nothing more.
Everyone can be a good listener but are you good at hearing.
