I definitely agree with you that listening to people can really help them in a lot of situations. However, when you say that "It doesn't cost anything to listen to another human being share with you except your time.", doesn't that kind of overlook the point that the most valuable thing we have today is our time? When you pay someone to do something, what you're really paying them for is their time. When you give someone your time, in some sense you're giving them something just as valuable as money, maybe even more. I don't know. Perhaps I'm not looking at it in the right way, but it does seem to me that the thing that people lack most these days is time. Some people say that one can make time for things that are important enough, but that's not always easy to do. It's sad that we often don't have enough time for the people in our lives, but that's often the case.
