The sound of love
For some of us, expressing their love is a way of life. It just comes natural and it is tough for them to hold back.
For others, it is so tough to express love or even their simple feelings. It makes them freeze and stumple and most of the time, the wrong words come out. So they bite their tongues, after the event, replaying it and how it could have turned out if only the right words would have come out right on time.
May be we can learn from the whales.
"The love song of a humpback whale sounds magnificently free-flowing and improvised to the casual human listener. Fresh mathematical analysis of shows there are complex grammatical rules. Using syntax, the whales combine sounds into phrases, which they further weave into hours-long melodies packed with information.
During mating season, which lasts six months, all humpback males sing the same song to woo the ladies. Over time, the group's song becomes progressively more complex, although researchers don't know quite why. Presumably, as one whale finds mating success by tinkering with the song style, the rest of the guys imitate it to better their chances." The full article is here.
