Kahlil Gibran — 🤲 Acceptance Quote

Accepting others means listening beyond their words. Everyone's carrying something they can't quite express — and that patience with others changes relationships.

“The reality of the other person is not in what he reveals to you, but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but rather to what he does not say.”

— Kahlil Gibran
