LOVE need no words
Inspired by an interesting article "Sorry, what did you just say?" on weekend TODAY (1-2 Mar 08 pg4). The article talks about the lack of communication in the young ones in Singapore nowadays, not even with the help technology such internet and mobile communication - they blog instead of talk.
Even young couples in courtship, bathing in the bliss of love seems to be following this "trend" as well. WHAT HAPPENED?! Gone were the days where couples look eye into eye romancing each other. What the article observed instead were young couples behaving like old couples, sitting down together yet doing things of their own and nothing were said between them. (Hmmm, speaking of which I'm here blogging and HE is totally engrossed in watching TV and reading his newspaper in the living room). Did guys out there simply lost their skill of sweet talking and gals out there grown out of their need/want to hear honeyed words?
I would think that it might be due to the culture here that has evolved the people to be less personalized. They face the computers more than they face human. They have learnt that emailing your colleagues is the best way to work instead of verbal communication (CC & BCC make sure that everything is in black and white). They have also learnt to talk only when necessary to prevent saying the wrong things and bringing in more troubles.
But maybe just like what HE ALWAYS SAY, love REALLY NEEDS NO WORDS... Labels: communication, livin, livintogether, love, love need no words, post, technology, today, together, weekend, words
