I am a good listener. It has served me well in business while I was working. It still serves me well in dealing with people. Some people are good talkers while I am a good listener. But even I have my limits on how much I want to silently listen to someone. Some people ask me how I am doing, then they begin to tell me how they are doing and they seem to not care at all about me.
I am polite and I would never tell a friend to just shut up. But one thing that I can do is stop calling them or seeking them out to converse with. Being long suffering is not the same as being forever suffering.
I wonder if God ever gets tired of us like that? Does He ever hear us pray and say, oh, it's them again. Same old thing again and again. I don't think so.
I will continue to listen and I will speak up if given a chance. And if you only care about yourself, then I will leave you to your own company.
