"A fool finds no pleasure in understandingbut delights in airing his own opinions."
Who do you think of when you read that?
What personal moment does it make you look back on and cringe?
Who is the model of the opposite?
How should it shape the way we relate to other people inside and outside of the church?

I always spot when other people are not listening to me, but just waiting for a break in the conversation so they can say what they think. However, I don't think I spot it so well when I'm doing it to other people..! Proverbs like this call for humility. Very sobering!
This is me to a 't'. I find the urge to share my so called 'words of wisdom' with people far more important than listening to them!! Whether it's a text or an email or just in one of my public discourses (in other words, a rant!) i usually find myself thinking 'did i just say that?????'
