With television, mp3 players, portable gaming systems and a constant need for speed, is there any wonder why we don’t listen to one another? Notice that the term used was listen and not hear. Nowadays, we hear a lot and listen to next to nothing.
Is it then no wonder why relationships sometimes teeter on the brink of diaster just because someone said something the wrong way or someone else misinterpreted what was said? The answer is an easy one. Clear communicative exchanges are crucial to healthy and long lasting relationships. In others, to with and not at your partner. Listen to and hear what they say. Try to understand your partner’s perspective and if you can’t do on your own ask for clarification.
No one said it would be easy but to borrow from a cliche if you work for it, you’ll appreciate it more.
Some think its easy and should just flow and with the right chemistry, things can just fall into place. Other times, it can be like a time bomb waiting to explode… But when we are on the outside, all we can speak on is what we see. A lot of folks jump to conclusions and make assumptions. Yes its evident that someone got the worse out of the exchange being discussed repeatedly in the blogosphere and internet. And all the naysayers were instantly pouncing writing in all the reasons that it could have happened. But no one knows. Only they know.
When you dissect the lyrics, most of it is all machismo bravado… Its all about flossing, your car, house, clothes, jewelry, and the women who can”t get enough of you. Its all about talking about how different your life is from when you had nothing and so on and so forth. The “come up” if you will.
