Today I want to make a confession: I was sick a few days ago and the doctor ordered me to be isolated. During my isolation I started to think about Life and it's weird things. I learned that there are over 7 billion people on this planet and despite the fact that we are that many; statistics show that nowadays there are more single people than married or in a committed relationship.
Why? Maybe you are asking yourselves the same question, unfortunately I don't have an answer. I don’t know if it’s because lately we all live in a rush, or maybe because we are in the era of super-novelty brought to us directly into our smartphones, tablets, computers and TV. Is that making us get bored faster? People from all genders complain of the difficulties they have in finding someone willing to get in a committed relationship.
Women blame men, and men blame women, Men said that women are not like they used to be, before; women used to dedicate themselves one hundred percent to run the house, raise the children and generally be available and happy to receive their men whenever they came back home from work. But now women also want to succeed professionally too, they either want to start or run their own business, or some of them focus on climbing the corporate ladder and achieve that high paying job with benefits, there are also the ones that want to travel the world before having children and all these ambitions are valid, even though sometimes are not compatible with the idea of having a solid relationship, because like the old saying goes: “He who serves two masters, with one looks bad” Women complain that nowadays is easier for men to cheat and deceive since the openness of the internet brings several ways to meet new people, it is worth mentioning that a lot of people blame social media channels for divorce and breakups, there are even those who consider a famous social media channel the perfect way to facilitate infidelity.
Whatever the factor that influences shooing cupid from our lives, let's be realistic and understand that we are social beings by nature and we need to love and be loved to feel complete.
Although communication is now more open, and we have access to more means of conversation online, why do people struggle more to establish contact in person? It recently happened to me to be in line at a supermarket near where I live, a very attractive girl between the ages of 25 and 30 was in front of me, and she offered me to walk in front of her because I only had a pack of coffee in my hands. and she had a little over 10 things in her cart. (we were in the express check-out) I said thank you and paid for my coffee, on the way to the door I couldn’t help but heard two young men between 20 and 25 years old, jokingly blaming each other for not having the guts to ask the girl for her number, the irony, they were trying to make contact with her, and she very kindly made contact with me without me even asking.
Perhaps it is better to be spontaneous and not think so much when we want to establish communication with someone we are interested in, a simple hello! And a sincere smile could work a little magic, there is nothing wrong if they do not return your greeting or smile, the important thing is to do it in a genuine gesture of friendship without pretending or expecting something in return.
Today Poem is "She Walks in Beauty" by George Gordon Byron. I hope you like it.
Ciao!
