the right want.
It's only human to want to be right. But it takes immense compassion to let others be, till they find their own truth.
Found & Lost.
Women claim men are too fast, too insensitive and too often too direct. They think we want to be ahead in the equation all the time, and would do anything to maintain control of the dynamics. In our defense, we are scared of uncertainties. Habitual to direct, open conversations ("Pass the beer, dude", "Stop bein' such a wussy!") when we find a friend in trouble, we just say, "Your car got stolen? Bummer. Lets go catch a drink." and spend the next two hours drinking and watching soccer. ("That kick is blanking brilliant!", "Did you see that crazy save?") So when a woman says phrases like "Lets see.", "Nothing.", "Suppose you try to guess.." and "I don't know/I can't say anything now.", it leaves us scratching our head and wondering what we are supposed to do next. Wait? Be on our best behavior till further notice? We know they are talking sense at their end, but it don't make no
And requires a lot of patience too!
ReplyDeleteI believe restraint is the word. Patience would come if the expectation is for them to catch up. But we aren't their benchmark, right?
