Mutual Understanding


   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.

  Now on all three occasions Person A did not completely understand person B and jumps to conclusion right off the bat. This is very common in every household and in any relationships. So what do we got to do in these situations? We just got to mutually understand each other....I guess
