3x -(-9x + 7)/4x = Insanity
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results -Albert Einstein
I was talking to my brother about relationships and women. Two of our favorite topics. Actually one topic if you think about it. You can’t have one without the other…
I’m looking back on my past relationships and I’m hoping there is a better outcome in my future. In order to get a better outcome, I must do something different right?
Do someting different. It sounds so simple… But romance is not a math problem. I can’t look at step 3 and add instead of subtract to get to the right answer. Who can look at their love life and easily pinpoint the error?
Sure there are times when the error is glaringly obvious. You stole the girl from her boyfriend. You weren’t quite over your ex. You slept with her before you knew her name. Those errors are brighter than a teacher’s red ink. A logical person would come out of those situations with enough experience and knowledge to keep themselves from repeating those mistakes. Simple right?
I see romance as the most complicated algebraic expression. Maybe there are 100 steps to this problem. That means 100 ways for you to go wrong… But even if you only make 1 mistake, you still have to go through the other 99 steps to find it. How do you recognize that mistake and not repeat it? And what if the wrong you make in that problem is the right step in the next?
How do you identify what you’re doing wrong so that you can continue doing right?
The experience of romance is what we make of it. I think we prepare for ‘forever’ way too much as opposed to enjoying the moment as it is.
Everyone is different so every woman is a new math problem. If the new woman is an addition problem, you can’t use the algebraic rules you used with your ex to try and figure the new chic. It won’t work.
I don’t think we do anything ‘wrong’ per say in relationships. I just think that we all need to know what we want and refuse to take less for whatever reason.
Maybe it’s not so much what we are “doing wrong” but the wrong timing or wrong approach towards a situation.
It’s like solving an equation in five steps when it could be done in three!
With some individuals interactions with 3 steps will be just fine, they can deal with that. But some individuals may require all five steps or it doesn’t feel/seem right for them!
One could be doing everything right but it’s others reactions to such that makes one feel that they have done something wrong! When in fact that may not be the case.
Aaaaaw! I am yet figuring it all out myelf! Never failed math but studied it harder and longer than any other subject! Yet, through it all, I loved every moment of class.
I take every moment as is, try not to judge me or anyone else, and look for the blessing in each dance of seduction!
Loving your entries, Alex, and those of your respondents!
Peace and love to all,
