Men And Women

There was a time I lived in Paris. Moving there was like diving off a rocky cliff into a powdery aqua sea. The curtains parted and I entered a new world. I was too in love to even sleep! So I didn’t.
When I arrived I spoke Queens French. If you don’t know the place, Queens is a borough of NY further from France, culturally, than Mars. So needless to say, Queens French is Greek to the natives. I said one thing, they meant another, and we lived in a constant state of delusion.
…which brings us to men and women. Neither knows what the hell the other means. Almost never. It’s far more challenging than a Rubik

the challenge never stops, but neither does history repeating itself. Men and women, customers and businesses, have been exhibiting the same basic shortfalls and streaks of greatness since the beginning of time. If we study history well, we know what works and more importantly, what doesn’t.
The only thing that ever changes is technology, human nature and relations remain steadfast through hundreds of generations of society. All of our answers can be found throughout history, the question is why does everyone keep making the same mistakes?

Communicating is always a walk in the tunnel of chaos. You never know what is going to happen.
I had a professor who use to say, “we all use the same vocabulary but have different dictionaries.”
And as you suggest, “making it work” even when we don’t understand everything or everyone is a magical moment to be savored.
Keep creating,
