I am afraid, as a culture, we have forgotten how to listen. We are so busy making our own voices heard that we have stopped listening to what the other voices have to teach us. In particular, with the increased polarization of society, it is increasingly difficult for us to listen to the “other,” to the one who is not like us and does not think like us. Our tribes keep us comfortably sheltered in the echo-chambers of our minds, listening to the thoughts that reaffirm what we already believe and dismissing that which is challenging and different. The Scriptural narrative, however, teaches us a different way. A way in which the outsider gets a voice to challenge the insiders. When this happens in our own lives, are we prepared to listen?
