Are you really listening?

I'm not sure why I included "listener" in my discussion interest. But I guess it's because I believe I really have the "ears" for listening and some working "neurons" for understanding. But would you agree with me that a lot of times when we say that we are listening what we meant really is that we are merely hearing the words that had been spoken?

Exactly! To listen is to try understand and to hear is to never try to listen at all.
