Mind over heart

Mind over heart

We often joke that God has made this world unfair. Either the girl/boy you are after doesn't like you, or you don't like the girl/boy who is after you. (Just choose the appropriate gender)... it is not entirely untrue. More than that, it is a general notion that men are bad, rather pathetic, at showing/observing/understanding emotions. 'Emotionless' as some would say, simply because there happens to exist another gender of the human species, called a 'female', which likes to breakdown at every available opportunity or show off how strong its vocal cords are at the most inopportune of times.

Sadly (happily, to be honest), men are left far behind when it comes to aggrandizing their emotions (of course, not deliberately). They'd rather be themselves and not create any hue and cry over trifles. Or maybe, they can't create any, thanks to their genetic makeup.

But disregarding the fact that men are as bad at remembering useless pieces of information, such as, first date or birthdays, or anniversaries, or places, or small gifts, or... etc. etc. as women are good at it, one fact clearly stands out. Its that women are definitely big emotional fools.

Now, now, don't run after me with discrimination lawsuits. Men are bigger fools, if anything. But thats not their fault. You could call Antarctica the top of the Earth or its bottom, it doesn't matter. I could call women more emotionally mature than men, if you want me to be politically correct. It has been my strange (obvious?) observation, that while men are desirous of trying to express themselves nicely, (a deliberate effort towards which is required only when they are in front of women), the female of the species doesn't even have to try.

While women have the capability of expressing their emotions perfectly well and in a totally controlled fashion, such an ability is actually required more by men. Why? in the extreme case, to carry on the cycle of life, if I may go to the extent of saying that, and in the mildest form, simply to connect better to the opposite sex.

Why, I've seen females who are unable to understand other peoples' emotions (even when its practically announcing itself), who cannot makeout any sort of indications from another guy, and I am not saying subtle ones, and who are all but unable to even consciously generate strong emotions.

Yeah, sure, I've just seen a fraction of humanity, lived for a small no. of years till now, and am a self confessed failure when it comes to showing/observing/understanding emotions. But I can't really reject things I see, can I?

Maybe its for some female to open up my eyes. Show me what other females do, emotionally speaking. Or maybe, its upto me to teach someone a thing or two about it.
