Eunice and Empathy (5)

Agents Eunice and Jake exchange on verbal and nonverbal views of love and empathy.

Hey Eunice and Jake, I'm glad the both of you raised this point!!!!!!!!!

But consider this Eunice and Jake, why in the world is there a need to confess love verbally, when emotions as abstract as love can be professed non-verbally?!!?!?!

And non-verbally does not only include the superficialities of professional communication such as maintaining a longer than usual gaze at your bf or gf, or conversing with him/her using the full force of voicetones modulations, or smiling and winking flirtatiously on every occasion of interaction. While these might be interpersonally important, there are other easily overlooked but exacting non-verbal issues at hand.

Showing love through actions in exclusively what you do only should be the most powerful indicator of love, but sadly, as you know, we are all human beings, and are very unable to simply tell a girl or guy loves us by the things he or she may do, such as offering us a ride in his/her car home at midnight after lecture, or helping us run an errand that locates in Jurong when he stays in Changi while he/she is caught up in the preparation of exams. We affective/emotional (or weak) human beings need these hidden acts of love to be accompanied by a kiss on the lips after the ride to your doorstep, and completing the long errand. Do you see what I mean? We need undifferentiated acts of love to be embellished with all the sorts of flowery informalities and that is human's greatest weakness----being unable to see through instantly and directly the mind/psyche/spirit/soul/nature/intention/heart of another person's.

But, but, but, but, having said that, by the argument of moderation of which I have mentioned till I've gotten boringly sick now, emotional awareness and agency is also human's greatest strength!!! If only it garnishes the interactions and communications between disparate human groups and also within themselves; by bringing verve and therefore DEFINITION to the undifferentiated or hidden acts of love or otherwise that we are so poorly put together to see and evaluate!!!!

So having rebuked and invalidated Eunice and Jake, I also have to exalt and give my consensus! How ironical; but every in life is like that . Good is bad's irony or antithesis, and if good and bad exist in this world, ironies must also therefore likewise!!!!!

Cheers
