Communication....Key to success or Key to confusion?

In this day and age it is so very easy to wonder about what the other person is thinking. Everyone wishes they could read the other person's mind, but would we really want to. I wonder if it truly would be that intrigueing or if it would be a little bit of a let down. Let's say you are at a romantic dinner for two and he is staring into your eyes and you think "Wow, he is so into me and he is such a romantic." Well, what if you could read his mind and he was really thinking, "God, I haven't eaten since breakfast, hope the food here is good..." Or if roles are reversed and you think she is really into you, but she is really thinking, "This new bra is killing me, I can't wait to get home.." So really I don't think reading someone's mind would be that great.
I am not sure but I think God truly has a strange sense of humor, because he created man and woman. We confuse each other daily and sometimes without even trying. We think we are having a conversation that will help to clear the air and they only end up making the air a little more foggy. I think that is because both sides need to be willing to say/speak the truth, but without emotions. Yes, gentlemen, we women, tend to be the biggest emotional ones, with our tears and anger, but you really can't blame us it is all these hormones.... So maybe if we could look at things from each side. Women, try to enter the conversation in our underwear, holding the remote and scratching ourselves in places that need not be mentioned. While men, prepare to enter the fray, by already thinking you are right, have a box of tissues handy, some chocolates for after and a list of all the wrongs that were committed from the past.....

Ok, the last part was some tongue in cheek, but I added it to try and get everyone to see that communication is only going to work, when both sides are willing to sit down and talk. Not argue, blame, try to be right, bring up old wrongs , but deal with the facts and the here and now. Life is hard enough without the simple conversation being made more confusing by emotions and overall human error...
