It's one thing to talk out loud about your thoughts. It's completely another thing when someone is patiently listening and the talker rambles on and on without direction or cause about a subject they have repeat countless times. I have time I wish not to waste. I am willing to listen to someone who needs to take a great load off their shoulders, but I wish my time was respected.
I don't know; maybe I'm just in a bad mood today because of how my day began but it has caused me to become aware of how much time I just sit there and let others talk as I patiently listen. And I can't help but ask myself, "Why don't I talk this much?" or, more importantly, "Will anyone be willing to listen to me this long?"
Days like this sometimes makes you question why you do the things you do and offer so freely.
