RELATIONSHIPS

I recently attended a wedding where the groom’s mother spoke about ACCEPTANCE and the bride’s father spoke about IDENTIFYING.
After some retrospective analysis of the two speeches I arrived at my personal conclusion about what I’d heard; very simple and very clear conclusion, about the topic of each speech:
SPEECH ONE SPOKE TO SPEECH TWO
Further reflection brought me right back to my first Blog EMOTIONAL READS which then led me on to link to relationships.
WHY? Because all relationships are emotional engagements. Think of all familial relationships. Think of emotions stirred inside when your boss gives you a last-minute task that’s going to keep you hours later at the office. Think that neighbour you wished lived on another planet. Think your relationship with your pet.
Humans are emotional beings and emotions cover the spectrum from almost nothing – no movement – to the highest, consuming everything. Our eyes (sometimes our ears) are the first receptor. We see a person and a response is triggered in us. A response that evokes a good feel, a negative feel or a totally neutral feel – neither good nor negative.
When the response is a good feel, we find ourselves drawn to that other person and that is where the bride’s father’s speech of IDENTIFYING was explained in my mind. An emotion inside of the one person was identified through sighting of the other person.
The bridal couple IDENTIFYING the good feel each felt for the other led to dating, which led to a need in each for the other to fulfill, which led to ACCEPTANCE of the me – warts and all – which led to marriage.
I must say my conclusion of the analysis of these two speeches made me feel really good 😊 😊 😊
