Not to take away from the beauty of this story, but instances like those are the rare exception to the rule.
Most people are dead set in their ideas and beliefs. And a good listener seldomly gets any credit (most people don't even notice, since sending - not the reception - is the only thing they're interested in anyways).
Also for most people, agreement with them equals a good and smart person, disagreement equals a dumb and bad person. I wish folks were more subtle and open than that, but they just are mostly not.
I listened to a lot of folk, and rarely did I call someone names because of his opinion, but I don't think that changed anyone really.
