Poem:
They say that communication is key to a better relationship.
I've got more than a couple of reasons to believe that such is true,
some I even had to learn the hardest way.
I think each of us already knows
what the consequences of a communication breakdown could be,
so I need not specify any.
It would indeed be great to have mind-reading or similar powers
to know what another is thinking.
However, a perfect specimen with such a superhuman ability
still doesn't normally exist in our real world yet, as far as I know.
Although a "woman's intuition" is such a buzz
and an "educated guess" is a very popular concept,
I'm still far from acceptable levels of achieving
what I think are the desirable outcomes along those lines.
Thus, our usual means of sending and receiving messages
are still useful at this point, I should admit.
The following are some of what would matter more:
🌿If we want to know something, ask. If we are asked a question, answer.
🌿If we're not so sure about anything, clarify. If we're not fully understood, explain.
🌿We don't have to have exactly the same beliefs to live in peace and harmony. We can even agree to disagree.
It's also good to take the time
to have a chat somehow,
one way or another.
