I have discovered the secret to the inherent incomprehensibility of the opposite sex. Anyone�s opposite sex. It�s merely that we�re ALL incomprehensible. Women can no more understand women than they can men. The only real difference is the sexual tension. We don�t actually recognize our own confusion until we put that confusion in the context of ourselves. Perhaps it�s really our own fault, as well. We get confused when we WANT to believe one thing and have to interpret others� behavior to reflect that desire. In friendships, we trust one another. The assumption is that our love, being less transient than romantic love, is either unquestionable or there�s a mutual lethargy in regards to the relationship. Once we take that to the level of love, something deeper and tougher to give, we inevitably have to question whether it�s sincere. We attempt to read every action, every statement, every expression. In other words, it�s our own stupidity that causes excessive tension between us and our loved ones. We assign value to things that have none, at least in the context of the relationship, and we worry about them and their significance. Under that kind of overwhelming pressure, what romantic relationship could be expected to last? Soul mates, perhaps? I believe that one�s soul mate is the only person ever to exist who can understand them completely. They don�t have to love one another, they don�t have to like each other, they don�t even have to have the potential of a sexual relationship. They�re merely the one person who can connect with your mind and heart without any sort of hesitation. But how can we ever hope to have relationships with people we don�t understand? How do we, or I, ever manage to stop focusing on the details that destroy relationships? It�s so frustrating to never properly understand others. What do they think of me? Or do they not think of me at all? Am I merely a forgettable little creature who no one cares about.
