Recently a wise woman told me to ask more questions. I thought this great advice but I asked her why anyway.
“It’s the only way to love people,” she said.
I’ve been pondering that. I was taken aback by her statement. Surely there are other ways to love people - like doing things for them, giving them a gift, being understanding. But the list isn’t really that long when it’s boiled down. And the other things I listed are more powerful when a question is first asked.
“What do you need? What do you like? How can I help you?”
So is she right?
