I meant that the axiom that The act of "telling"
actually flows from the act of listening or reacting
is not always correct specially if the audience is not
an individual. There are gullible people among us who
can be led by continous propaganda. Even if we don't
give an ear to the nonsense that is we don't "listen"
the "telling" would be there and some of us will be
affected by that. Which in turn reduces the number of
pwople who share our viewpoints and in long run we
become minority and have less option to excercise,
which certainly none of us want.

   For example look at what happened in Iran. When
Islam came there and not everybody "Listened" to it.
But over the centuries they keep "Telling" some
"listened" and some did not.

   But at the end there were very few who were still
not listening. So they kicked "Not listeners" out ,
literally. now they are without a nation of heir own.
Do you want the same thing to happen to us as well?

  Not listening is not enough, we have to counter it.
