― Ernest Hemingway
Sometimes we
just have to vent. And if we are blessed
with a friend who can listen -- without judgment, without having to insert herself
in the problem, without showing us the solution, that can be an incredible
gift.
Too often
people want to tell us what they would do in our shoes or want to show us how
they would solve a problem, but generally that is not what most of us are
looking for when we just need to vent.
There is
incredible kindness in simply listening.
Because when you let someone vent, you may just be giving them the space
they need to clear the mental clutter and get clarity.
