Perhaps you've heard the quote from Greek philosopher Epictetus, "We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak." This gets to the heart of this verse in James about the wisdom of being quick to listen and slow to speak. This is a radical concept in a world of echo chambers, polarized politics and and "us vs. them" mentality. Could something as simple as being slow to speak and quick to listen transform how we love our neighbours well?
