Antes de programar, escutemos

In brief

Father João António Pinheiro Teixeira of the Diocese of Lamego suggests that people should listen before they begin planning. Writing for Agência Ecclesia, he notes that the fluency of modern communication can sometimes mask disorganized thinking and emotional instability.

Teixeira argues that communication may require a slow cooking approach to avoid the immaturity indicated by rapid, uncontrolled speech.
