Beauty of the Disconnect

Til this day, I still find it fascinating how misread women are to men and vis versa. The disconnect has always been intriguing to me and the art of reconciling between the two creatures has recently become a popular topic for me to think about.

I do see a trend that men and women these days fall into the trap of what their specific roles in society SHOULD be, versus what they really desire to behave like. Women are perceived more typically as damsels in distress, hence they are quick to overcompensate and refuse help, act seemingly more independent than they really are, and prove that they can make themselves happy just by their lonesome selves. And men on the other hand have always been put in a position to be emotionally sturdy for their counterparts, firm in judgment, "emotional-little", and simple. Therefore, when they see their lady in need they won't go and search the emotional depths of their women; they'll keep it simple and take the woman's action for face value, even when they know better.

The beauty of this disconnect is that when the two find themselves in it, once the topic resurfaces and is talked about, more often than not, they can agree to disagree. But almost more than likely, they'll take into consideration what the other has voiced and approach the situation differently in the future.

Finding Joy

Let go of everything you cannot change, and focus on what you can control. It is then that you will lead a life of joy.
