DISCLAIMER: This is a ranting post. Please do not read it if you expect quality.

Sometimes I wonder why things turn out the way they do. Its true that I make mistakes, though some I really feel that they aren't mistakes. Is it really my fault that I see the purpose of other's action so clearly?

Is it really my fault that I take steps to protect myself before I take any real damadge? Life isn't a game, reality hurts. And perhaps just like snsd's new song, our feeble hearts need a helmet, for all the hits that it can take, we don't know when it will give up and stop.

And the truth is, even with helmets, I wonder how much helps they really do help.

From a male perspective, dealing with females are annoying, and irritating. Because we often find that they don't see things the way we do. Its not any particular sex's fault. Maybe its just how the brains are wired. But seeing eye to eye without an act of compromise is nearly impossible.

Unless, of course, the logic is undeniable.

Now if dealing with females is irritating, dealing with males is even more irritating. Especially when conflict arises.

First things first. Males have pride. It sucks but they. Or we do, since I'm a male too. Losing it is big deal, protecting it is perhaps just as important as protecting your very own heart. Then again, that's the male way of looking at things.

Females jolly well find us chauvinistic and stuff. But really, from an objective point of view, the females aren't wrong.

But well, I don't get what's wrong with knowing more than others, using it to your own advantage, and turn the tide against your opponent, male or female. It really all depends on the purpose.

Telling others details of your quarrel with another has one obvious objective, for them to ally with you and take your side. Now if you don't tell them details, but just tell them you've been quarreling with person A. You're not pulling them to your side, what's you're actually doing is informing them, such that they would not mistakenly put you and person A together for more conflicts to occur.

In a sense, its pretty polite. Now that's how different purposes determine different actions. To the details of it.

So how is it wrong, for one to of understand the purpose of another's speech, action or behavior, and act against it. Ahead? Being ahead is important is life. And so is inference, the combination of both is perhaps just a tool?

Really, if we don't mind thinking back, looking at how our words, our actions, our behaviour exposes how much of our intent, we would perhaps understand more about why others are always able to get ahead of us.
