I think that is a great article. It doesn't matter what people do, everyone needs to build relationships and express themselves. To feel that they have been heard and learn how to listen to what they also hear.

Oddly enough it is only when we are detached, can we really appreciate anothere person's point of view, without insisting that our point of view can be the only one.
