It is quite
usual to understand a statement as a kind of echo of yourself. Actually you
are listening to your own opinion. If it is convenient to your opinion you may take it, but if it is not you do not hear
it. So that is one danger when you listen to someone. The other danger is to be caught by the opinion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-02-02.
