mode of operation

We are so easily lulled into our own lives.
People we used to connect to easily become more and more distant. A lot of the time we can reconnect for short periods of time without too much strain. We catch up, we discuss the latest and greatest, we feel more in touch.
People we used to have difficulty connecting with only become more difficult. Especially the more lulled we are.
We get used to speaking our daily speak, walking our daily walk, developing patterns and habits that stick to us, that color our perceptions.
Different people all over have different modes of operation. Sometimes it's easy to accept someone else's MO. Other times it's not.
But I think that this lack of acceptance stems from not understanding that there exists a language barrier between two different MOs


I watch two people who have so much love for each other, and so much anger. The anger rules because they have not been able to establish a common language. A way that they both feel they are being directly addressed and understood.
Who the hell knows how to help two people start building a common language. Why do I feel compelled to try?

I think that without knowing it people want either to be right, or to be happy. Sometimes I think that people feel one or the other, or some painful conflict between the two.

It's tough
