An open record of things people cannot explain

What I am talking about is not a dream I had. It is an entry from my daily journal that, I guess, I really want to share. I did not want to make it a thread, because it sort of is like a dream. I dream that one day we may understand eachother. I hope it makes sense, because really that is the point. It is actually something I should not have to feel upset about. I feel it is like common sense, but that is not alway so common either.So, feel free to comment. I would love to hear some opinions, otherwise, enjoy my rant. Quite honestly, I do not think I want to marry someone who does not understand, not for lack of the ability, but just because this person does not want to understand anything. Obviously, this person does not know how to communicate or what it is, maybe. How can you communicate with someone without understanding? You cannot. They both need each other to exist. Someone explains something, whether it be knowledge or feelings, and the other person, first, acknowledges what that person has to say, then trys to understand, empathize, sympathize with those ideas and this leads to understanding. Why would not one try to relate to another? Especially someone that is close to that person. I know that there are exceptions. That there are things that are not worth understanding, and things that are impossible to understand, and things that are not meant to be understood. But is not it human nature to try, at least. Maybe it is not important to some people. Okay, I get that. But maybe they just do not know how important it is to be able to communicate and relate to others. Without communication, where would we be? Probably some place much darker and just worse than it already is. Everything starts with communication.

If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
