In this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about healthy and unhealthy communication, and the struggle to be as honest as we feel called to be with those we love, and with ourselves. Do we really want the truth, even when it’s something we don’t want to face? They discuss the power of listening without needing to offer an opinion or advice and the power of being heard without needing to be fixed. The friends dive into the differences between heart-centered and ego-centered communication, offering tools to keep us in our hearts more often.
Reading, by Adrienne Rich
An honorable human relationship — that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word “love” — is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other.
It is important to do this because it breaks down human self-delusion and isolation.
It is important to do this because in doing so we do justice to our own complexity.
It is important to do this because we can count on so few people to go that hard way with us.
