Silence is Golden

I used to see couples walking down the road, sitting at the park, or at dinner somewhere and they wouldn't be speaking to each other. The other way it went was that they were both reading the paper, or both reading their own book. My theory was that, it had finally happened for those two. They had lost so total interest in each other that they had stopped talking, they had stopped interacting, they had stopped being a couple. How could you be around someone, and they weren't apying attention to you, or being with you?

I now realize it in such a different way. It's not that at'all. The line from Palm Fiction, or I should say Quentin Terrintino, is truly correct: "It's when you're totally interested and succinct with a person that you can just sit there and shut the fuck up"

Interesting...that line always bothered me...till now. These people have become so linked, so together that they actually know each other enough to not feel slighted by the other. they are happilly doing what they are doing, while happily allowing the other person to do what they're happy to do. Wow!!! I had never thought of it that way. Look around! You will see the couples who don't care about each other, and then you'll see the couples who are perfect! Those perfect ones are sitting next to each other, maybe holding hands or have a hand on the other. Maybe they're sitting across from each other, but not drawing themselves away, but very ok with being there with that person do exactly what they want to do. They are being themselves, as well as being a couple. Can you say that you can do that in your relationship?

This world is not suppose to be take take take.....it's suppose to be give give give
