...memory lane for a moment, and think back to your childhood. Can you remember a particular item of clothing that you loved so much that you really didn't want to take it off? Where is it now? How would you feel if you were to come across it again? Actually, no matter how nostalgic the rediscovery might make you, it would also cause great frustration. You have surely long-since outgrown it.
In a similar way, we all outgrow various attitudes and opinions as life makes us wiser. Don't apply yesterday's standards to today's decisions.
Truly hearing what is said requires us to listen with an open mind; a mind that is void of
assumption, interpretation or judgment.
