What does it really take for two persons or say a set of
people to mutually understand between each other? There can be several factors
to be taken into consideration before we can answer this question. Let me tap
my imaginary world and create fictional characters to exemplify this one. Every
paragraph I plan to pull two characters and go over their habitual pattern.
Let us say there
are two people. Person ‘A’ is kind of very short tempered in nature; Person B
is kind of much matured, soft spoken person who maintains a low profile. Person
A nonchalantly browses the credit card bills online and goes mad seeing a big
transaction happened due to one of the shopping activity of Person B. Without
getting into the actual details starts to find faults with person B and then
later comes to know that person B did shopping to present gifts to person A.
Let us say there
are two people. Person ‘A’ is kind of belligerent in all his/her actions and
person B is kind of subtle in all his/her actions. Person B buys a patio plant
and waters everyday to nurture; Person A being aggressive wants the plant to
grow fast because of his aggressive nature. One fine day rain along with mighty
winds blow the plant away and starts to find this as a good reason to find
faults with person B saying person B was poor in taking care of the plant and
instead should have done many other ways to protect the plant.
Again let us assume
person A belongs to old school and person B belongs to modern era. Let’s say
both of them decide to go to restaurant for dinner and person A orders the
traditional same dish over again and person B tries something new in the menu.
If the new dish happens to be bad then person A argues with person B saying
that ‘known devil is better than unknown angel’ and if the new dish happens to
be tasty then still argues saying that person B should have recommended the
dish for both.
