Answer 4

Anger and intolerance are the two enemies of correct understanding

El enojo puede hacer que una persona tan loco que pierden sus habilidades de escucha y no pueden entender lo que se dice. Se conoce comúnmente como "usted no está escuchando". El enojo impide que una persona realmente entender.

Intolerancia actúa como un bloque a la escucha. Se conoce comúnmente como "se desconcentra". Una vez más la intolerancia que bloquea de la escucha y la comprensión.

Corrections to my Spanish are appreciated.

Anger can get a person so mad that they loose their listening skills and cannot understand what is being said. It's commonly referred to as "you're not listening". The anger keeps a person from really understanding.

Intolerance acts as a block to listening. It's commonly referred to as "tuning out". Once again the intolerance blocks them from listening and understanding.
