Listening is not to figure out how the other person is wrong. Nor is it what the problem is and fix it. The goal of authentic listening is to love. Whether it is a friend, a child, a relative, a neighbor, look at them in the eyes and smile, sit by their side and listen to what they say, not only they will not forget that kindness, but it also works as a psychological therapy. You have done your share of human loving, it's a good feeling.
Living and dying is not a big issue, the big issue is how we spend our time while here on earth. Live the life in such a manner that if you are missing, they will long for you, and if you are dead, they will weap for you and pray for your soul.
