Was talking to someone earlier on and this came along the conversation...
"Sometimes, it is really not suggestions that we need, but rather, some company and just a ear, so that the person know that she is not dealing it alone."
We are very used to listen to what others said, actively brain-stormed and conveniently give suggestions, but....
How many of us ever considered what was actually needed before coming up with kind suggestions that meant well but backfired??
This was what was commented earlier on, no details on the conversation, but it is about how the person who was trying to ventilate got and she actually felt lost and upset with remarks and comments or rather... Suggestions.
I hope that served as a reminder to me... If I were to handle things like that in future, I have to be more careful to identify what was the aim of the conversation initiated by the other party, it may sound crap but...
Sometimes, just that support alone can work wonders that many a times, many of us might have underestimated that power of...
BEING THERE.
