In any partnership,
There's the traditional roles of the Alpha: superior, boss
and the Lesser: docile, obedient one.
We remain silent as we accept it.
Like this imbalance of symmetry doesn't affect our chemistry.
As the weight of opinions try to swing back and forth like a broken grandfather clock
Words in Arguments have two voices
the one that comes from the person speaking and the untranslated one
Just let me talk - translated - My voice is the only one to be heard now
I don't understand - translated - I don't want to hear your side
You're wrong - translated - Stay in your place
... Stay in your place....
because there isn't enough room for you in mine
This dynamic doesn't simply exist in romantics
Look at brothers and sisters, bosses and workers
We often award authority in experience before testing the applicability of the experience of the situation.
I'm older so I know better.
But age is not truth
Wisdom is not wine
Balance is more than a virtue these days, it's a commodity.
There's nothing worse than weighing on a crooked scale
The foundation of any relationship deserves to be built with pillars of love, trust, fidelity, and effort.
And if one partner neglects to build, they leave an absence
which calls for the other partner to play Atlas, bearing the weight.
Until we learn how to stand evenly on this tightrope
We will never be able to balance the power between us.
