Key to Comprehension Exercises

What's missing?The ear.Listening.
Have you ever had the experience of trying to get two people to listen to one another?I mean really listen to one another?Perhaps there is a husband and wife who are deep into an argument.They have been unable to resolve their conflict and they are beginning to show the signs of strain in their relationship.Perhaps you are a friend or a family member or a counselor who is trying to help them resolve their conflict.You will never get anywhere in resolving their conflict until you get them to listen.I mean really listen.
I will sometimes ask people in this scenario to repeat what the other person's viewpoint is.It can be fascinating to see how hard this is.Let's say the husband is asked to repeat the wife's viewpoint.He may say something like,"She is so stupid, and she thinks moving to Delhi will solve all our problems.They will only increase our problems,especially if we live near to her mother!"
I might respond,"Now I'm sure that is not your wife's viewpoint.I think you just stated your viewpoint.I am asking for you simply to repeat your wife's viewpoint.Can you do that?"
There will probably be a little grumbling at this point.He will usually try again.
"Well,she thinks moving to Delhi will solve all our problems!"
Now I know two things wrong with this statement.First of all,I know that she doesn't think moving to Delhi will solve all their problems.As well,the tone of his voice needs to be addressed,because he probably said it with a mocking or sneering tone of voice.And this certainly does not represent her point of view.
So I will ask him,"Let me see if you can simply state her point of view in such a way that she can agree that you have accurately said it."
He may try several more times,and I will ask her,"Is this your view?"
She will usually say,"Not quite,"and explain.
