Dialogue vs. Monologue

When you are angry, you are unable to see the other person’s point of view because you don’t listen. You are so wrapped up in your own feelings that you cannot pay attention to what the other is saying. Besides, you can't imagine the outcome of your outburst. This is understandable and forgivable, but only to a certain extent. In fact, also the other’s hurt should not be overlooked. If you don’t want your life to become a ‘monologue', you need to watch yourself and endeavor to realize and accept that, as the others 'exist' just like you, they also have the right to think, behave and be as you do. You expect to be listened to, therefore only by listening, beside talking, and replying accordingly can a beneficial, possibly peaceful dialogue be established.
