Listening is a dying art we hardly listen to understand we only listen to refute or reply.

Steven R. Covey rightly points out that “most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.” This is how today works in modern communication. People get the false belief that they know everything about everything, that whatever they are saying is the ultimate truth, and it hurts their egos to listen and accept others' perspectives. such people close the door of potential knowledge that could flow from one another to another and miss the opportunity to actually grow.

Humanity: Speaking and listening are two sides of the coin and a good healthy communication requires both it also defines an individual's personality and leadership qualities. Still, unfortunately in the era of competition, we miss out on the actual points, and then one thing leads to another thing. We don't understand how communication works, the only thing we know is how to debate, there is a difference between conversation and debate, and when we get the ability to recognize that, we can connect with people easily, we can understand people, even more, To add to this, I would like to mention that to become a good speaker and be knowledgeable, first, we have to be a good listener, listening is actually an art from which one can gain knowledge and perspective.

Emotional support: Whenever someone tries to tell us something we either pretend to be busy or worse we judge, few people actually listen to us without any judgment rather than with concern. Why can't we just hear them out for once without giving any suggestions or thoughts because sometimes people only need someone to share, they don't want our decisions or judgment, The only thing they want is our attention. so we should step forward and sit beside our near ones to support them cause a little support can build strong connections in any relationship, which shows us how much we are responsible towards each other.
