Listening. 

Is it that hard to listen to someone's troubles?
It is that tough to be a counsel, to hear one's unhappiness and just be there?
Is solving the problem more important that providing a listening ear to someone who is tired?
Is empathy such a difficult word to understand?
Why is pouring out one's heart and soul always construed as complaining and whining?
Why can't one just talk one's thoughts?
Why can't people just try to understand why such thoughts are being thought of in the first place instead of glancing at the superficial?

I'm so frustrated at people who wouldn't just listen.
