\n\u201cListening to situations, listening to problems. Listening with the mind, with the heart, to judge them correctly. Listening openly, without prejudice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cToday for example, in Europe, we're experiencing the prejudice of populism. Countries are closing themselves and turning to ideologies. They aren't just new ideologies. There are also old ideologies like those that caused World War II. Why? Because reality is not taken for what it is.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
