Immediately I came across the topic for this particular edition, I begin to create some imagination in my head. Was just thinking that what about if someone I said I love so much can read every bit of my inner thoughts. That is as if my thoughts are just so loud for her to read every blessed second. She can hear everything I am thinking about even before voicing out.
As a Nigerian guy that I grew up up actually with this usual suspicious feelings. If I actually discovered that my partner can actually read my mind in details, for some people they might viewed it as probably something good but for me, it gives me this sense of betrayal. Yeah betrayal in the sense that how will my partner be able to read my mind and I will not be able to read her own mind.
Why do I say that, in my little experience, I have actually come to discover that every relationship that will last must be build on trust. Yes both party must always trust themselves and not about this mind reading and tricks. The more the subject of mind reading is involved, I strongly believe it will eliminate those trust that should be in relationships. Take for example in a scenario whereby she knew the next step I want to take because she has read my thoughts but she is pretending as if she didn't know, that is an act of betrayal for me.
But to the other side of it actually, if I found out early in our relationship, it is still something I can live with probably if I discovered that is her own God given gift from birth. But take for example we have been in relationships for many years and I am just getting to know now, I will feel vulnerable. Not only that though also, if she uses the gift of reading my mid to understand me much more better. What do I mean by that? Probably before I even express myself, she has actually understand my emotions, well I will say I will like it because it will help strengthen our love much more.
The big question I ask myself though the moment I came across the topic for this edition is the fact that if I actually knew that my partner can read my mind, will I still actually enter the relationship? Well for me it will be difficult most especially been the Nigeria guy I am. I will not because the fact that anyone talkless my partner can read my mind will definitely affect me. It will be like I am living a life of slavery to her.
Every time and every day, I will definitely prefer been in a relationship that these things does not exist. I can't even imagine how the relationship will definitely be. I am so sure we will constantly have issues which will not allow the relationship to last long. It is better that both of us will not be able to read our mind. It will help us to build massive trust for each other which I strongly believe is highly necessary for any relationship to work. Any relationship that is build on doubt will not certainly work.
Once again, everything I discussed here is just based on my own personal preference. I am not saying it is devilish but I will not be staying in a relationship with a partner that can read my mind unless if I also can read her own mind. That will make it so equal for both of us. Or what do you think? Will love to hear your view about this in the comments section below.
