Have you ever truly?

Have you ever TRULY listened to someone? Like forget in what environment, circumstance, or emotional state. But have you ever truly JUST listened? Without multitasking by thinking of how to react, or what to respond with? It's a whole new world of beauty. I think we should all try this once in a while. It's definitely tough (at least for me) but the benefits that come out of it are simply sensational.
