“It will take a special kind of listening, listening that requires not only open eyes and ears, but open hearts and minds. It means turning yourself inside out, giving up your own sense of who you are, and being willing to see yourself in the unflattering light of another’s angry gaze. It is not easy, but it is the only way to learn what it might feel like to be someone else and the only way to start the dialogue.”
