I know why I am not a Christian - and I have to wonder what's interesting about why someone else isn't… Guess I'll never know.
For those who aren't narcissistic, the story of another persons life is interesting, if his or her experiences are either unique, similar to ones own and well told. We compare our own experiences to other peoples experiences in order to acknowledge our own, it offers us meaning and a connection to the outside world to know that out there is another mind who share our perspective, our experiences, our emotions.
In listening we do not only learn about that person, we learn about our own lives, things that might be relevant in communicating with others, we learn how to orient ourselves in the social realm. We may mirror the persons solutions when facing our own problems and try if their solutions works for us, or we may pass i on for someone who are still facing the problems despite trying all we had to offer.
