\nA friend of mine once said that the only two people who know what\u2019s going on between a man and a woman are the man and the woman themselves. He was half right. The man and the woman\u2014or man and man, woman and woman; it\u2019s all the same\u2014are the last to know. The idea that we can precisely fathom people\u2019s emotions and motives is absurd.
