Points of Reflection about the ACTIVITY – CHATTING

1. We need to listen.
 We do have two ears to listen and a mouth to talk. We must
 listen in order for us to be understood.
2. We need to respond.
 We are not passive listeners. Our partners need to reflect and
at least give a reaction towards the things that he/she is telling
us. But, we must also considerate in giving reactions that
would offend his or her.
3. We must do actions.
 As a brother or sister, we are formed continually on a so-called
life process. We are dynamic not static human beings. We are
called to learn things in this world and never forgetting that our
feet rest on the ground.
