(un)objectivity
Lena Shumnaya
I was always curious how couples and friends, who know each other too well, can
communicate in their own very specific way. With no words, either.
What should the depth of their bond be? Just next level. I wish I could
feel the same level of mutual understanding again.
But how do you create this kind of connection? Conversations? Definitely.
Although, I think, a similar life vision is much more important. How you see things.
The fun way to find it out is through Alias or other games where the way of seeing and
understanding things—is a key to success.
I mean, do you ever think about how different we all see the same things?
If I say "car" which car did you imagine? Your own? Your dream car? Or that one
your parents had in your childhood?
If I mentioned "coffee", which one pops up in your mind? Strong black filter or
caramel latte if you have a sweet tooth?
You said a "best-way-to-learn-a-new-things-about-yourself" thinking about sports,
but my answer will be travelling.
It’s fine. We see things not as how they are, but as who we are. There is no such thing as
objectivity.
If you can understand the other person's way of thinking and it’s similar to yours —
it's the key. To friendship, relationship and other "-ships".
I don’t have time anymore to try to fit the other’s thinking of me. Pretend. Cut
the angles.
Find the right-one and calm down, they say. But do they even exist? Hell, I hope so.
If you know—you know.
So. Time for the final check. If I tell you I’m burst into tears at a concert, what band
are you thinking of?
