Over the years I have heard people saying “its always hard to know a
woman”, the lines with time is rhetorical. Among the men community the
are implied with a single word or action, but it has not always with
women that we attach these lines, Knowing anybody for that matter of
fact has been difficult. There are number of arbitrary steps involved.
Right from getting an introduction with a person to getting close enough
to get personal details and analyzing those details to come to a
conclusion that would act as a benchmark of performance for that person.
If the bars are placed at the right level, we claim to know the person.
The numbers of bars set right determines the degree to which you know
the person.
As there is so much work and time involved we say “ its really hard to
know a person”, though that’s true but when we compare this fact to the
exercise of unknowing a person, the effort seems inconsiderable. Try to
think a person that you know very little, may be about the personality,
few habits or responses and then try to forget those facts that you know
about that person, try not to anticipate the same action from him or
her. Its really hard. Becoming strangers once again, on a true note is
nearly impossible.
We may feel little uncomfortable with a person we meet after years,
whom we knew too well but the fact remain that we know the person and
will anticipate certain responses based on the known facts. Unlike
knowing a person, there isn’t any set methods or ways of un-knowing a
person, to become strangers once again, live the same life a surprises,
the firsts, the pleasure of knowing for the first time. Its really hard,
its really impossible.
This argument of mine may seem out of thought for a moment but if made
possible, it would be a sure shot remedy for may unclaimed, unsettled
feelings that everyone of us carry around. Its not about forgetting a
person, that we do, to a very comfort table level, but unknowing a
person, that is some thing we are never able to do. Its some thing to do
with recreating a spark that existed some time in the past between two
persons and slowly over the period has dimmed out. So we make a bit of
correction in the statement “its really hard to know a woman”…. “its
really hard to know a woman, that’s why they interest so many men”…
