THE ULTIMATE MOVE...

It’s often said that the more we know about each other, the better we are able to understand each other. This in my opinion should be a main rule during any relationship.

While in a taxi going home, I was quite surprised to hear what the driver was listening to. No, it wasn’t lewd music and no it didn’t involve any racial or religious discrimination. The driver was actually listening to a health program, but what drew my attention more was the topic being discussed.

“Functions of a woman’s body”- this was what he was listening! Now, if you’re a guy reading this, you may be wearing a smirk that says: “oh yea”. But if you’re a female like me, you may share similar sentiments.

Sadly, not many males today are eager to learn about a woman’s body. They may be fascinated, but have never really tried to read a book, search online, watch or listen to a program that imparts facts about the female body.

In this situation, I thought it was a plus that the driver wanted to know more about the female body. Some males would simply switch the station in fear of being branded a “sissy, mamah-man, or big nerd”. But, in my opinion they’re just “cowards and foolish” for believing such things.

From my Writing for Electronic Media class, I learnt that during the process of writing, one should always remember the medium in which he/she is writing for. Now how does this connect to this post? If you do not remember or know about the person(s) you’re dealing with, it’s already a problem. I’m not just referring to girlfriends/boyfriends; I’m also speaking to the parents, teachers, doctors, etc.  

Kahlil Gibran says: “The reality of the other person is not in what he reveals to you, but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but rather what he does not say.
