The sound of one hand clapping

You know when you are having a conversation with a friend, companion or partner and they just don’t get what you are on about? This conversation means so much to you and the person on the receiving end just doesn’t understand or respond accordingly. They are just not connecting with you on this topic. You try and try to explain what you are really saying and bleep! Nothing.

I am sure most ladies can relate when I say: Men can never understand what women really want or what satisfies us in relationships. We try by all means to send the message across but they just keep getting it wrong. It may seem like some sort of miscommunication but nope, its not. Men like to do things their way and women just have to compromise and follow the mans lead.

The sound of one hand clapping in this instance is when you can’t come to an agreement or consensus because the other person is struggling to hear you and receive your message therefore won’t act or respond accordingly. There is silence, confusion, frowns, no comment, question marks, “what exactly are you saying” types of responses.  You try to the best of your ability to get the message across so that you can both be on the same wave length and the conversation can carry on.
Do you then try to simplify your views, to make it easier for the person on the receiving end to decipher? Do you put yourself in their shoes and still not understand why they don’t get it? Or maybe they do get it but you are just not getting your desired response….it could be. Peace!
