LISTEN TO OTHERS!
Generate the exposition of
the other person’s self,
that he might pour himself out,
and confirm himself;
that he might let his needs
and wants and wisdom
flow out, and that in
revealing himself he may
help himself.
A high peak of being is to be able to
rediscover and to return to one’s
inviolate self: removed from all
that one has absorbed or inhibited,
cleansed, so to speak, and purified;
all things set off.
There need be no denial
or renunciation of anything vital,
beautiful, true or rewarding; only
a return to a full possession of
one’s self, completely free of
all things.
