THE ADVICE OF THE WISE MEN
SOMETHING MORE THAN UNDERSTANDING
I was in a park contemplating the place and suddenly, a discussion started: The noise and shouting were such that I inevitably listened. And there was a female voice saying: "You never understand me, because you never want to, even more, you have never understood me." And a male voice, answered: "I have always tried, I have always listened, I have always being there for you, making the effort but you do not want to be understood." "Do you realize that you do not want to understand me? When I say something, when I approach you, trying to explain, you do not want to listen and you just say that you understood. But is not true because when I ask you about what you understood, you tell me the wrong thing. Then, you say that you understand, but no, you do not" She said. "No, you are wrong, I did understand you but you did not believe me and you thought that I did not understand." He said. Well, the discussion was senseless, at that point, but I found something that I think is valuable. If you mix, the understanding with the misunderstanding, there will not be understanding. That is the reason that I found that confusion tends to win, in any kind of relationship, which is regrettable. The ideal would be an equilibrium, at least, between understanding and misunderstanding; this would be like a lesser point, like a semi-understanding, but will not be the case. Because, there is something more than intelligence, something more than good communication, something more than tolerance, something more than patience. And that something is where there will be equilibrium. And that something is Love. |
