What to do?

There are countless articles and resources that
will tell you how "women" are or how "men" are.
While there may be some valid points, it would
seem to me that heeding these articles (often
even contrary to one another) can mean more
problem or difficulties.

I wonder why it is that we haven't considered
that maybe people are just different, regardless
of the sex of the person. If we would consider
stopping taking things for granted, and start
communicating with those who matter, we would
likely find what the "truth" of the person's
reality and situation is rather than putting
someone else's assessment and opinion as an
overlay, and interacting with that.

The next time you consider reacting to a woman
a certain way because she is a woman, consider
that you might be better off stepping back,
and asking some questions. You may get looked
at like you have two heads, and it may take
some patience, but in the end the ability to
truly understand and communicate can't be
undervalued more by those who think they have
the "absolute" answers.

The only way we're going to truly be able to
understand each other, and determine whether
or not we can work with their framework is to
determine what it truly is - not what someone
else has told us it is.

Sadly, I think most of us have been hypnotized
to believe otherwise, and as a result we often
will find ourselves swimming against the tide.

If you find yourself tired of fighting, consider
you may not know all that you need to know,
or that what you think you know is incorrect,
and consider starting anew.

You might find that what you thought you knew
isn't that at all, and what truly is works less
for you than what you thought you knew.

There is also a chance you might just be
pleasantly surprised.
