“It is greed to do all the talking but not to want to listen at all”
— Democritus
Copied to clipboard
Simplified Meaning:
When someone always wants to speak but never wants to listen, they are being selfish. Imagine you're at a party, and one person keeps talking about themselves without letting anyone else share their stories. This behavior shows that they only care about their own voice and don't respect others. Good conversations involve both talking and listening, like playing catch where both people throw and catch the ball. By listening, you show you care about others' thoughts and feelings. Applying this idea in daily life can help you make stronger and more respectful connections with people.
