One of life’s many lessons for me has been to listen to people when they want to tell me something about their experience.

It’s a tough lesson to learn. I have so many preconceived ideas about people and events. It’s sometimes difficult to put those ideas into abeyance and listen.

When I reflect on the recent decision by the Federal Court that found Senator Pauline Hanson guilty of racial discrimination, it occurred to me that Hanson failed to listen.

Despite attempts to mediate a satisfactory settlement, Hanson decided to take it to court, and lost.

Listen to people, learn, and change the way you behave towards them.

The world will be a better place.
