Sense and Ability

Sense and Ability.  At first, the two seem to clash like the titans of Greek mythology.  But the neat thing about these two is that it takes one to complete the other.  Sense is a term which means the physiological capacities within people that provide inputs for perception.  Everyone has this capacity inside of them.  People can sense the change of moods by observing reactions to common interactions.  Sometimes people have a hard time reading these so called reactions, and sometimes people can mistake these reactions for something that they are not.  This misinterpretation can create a mess.  One person has to be aware of his actions at all times.  No slip ups so the other does not perceive the wrong impression.  This can take a great deal of talent, which leads me into my second term.  Ability is a powerful term.  A person's ability allows them to achieve their goals, to be successful.  Everyone wants to be successful.  Ted does for sure.  So when the problem arises to be able to perceive the correct sense or vibe of another, Ted wants the ability to do that.  Personal interaction occurs every day, sometimes more serious than other times.  When the serious times come, Ted wants to be ready to approach it like he would approach a grizzly bear.  He doesn't need to quickly run away because it may chase after him.  Crazy beast those things are.  Ted needs to think about the situation at hand.  Maybe try to ease into a conversation with this bear.  Try to act calm, no instant movements, just calm, chill actions.  The bear respects the way Ted presents himself.  He bids him a farewell, and the two positively depart.  (a story within a theory).  But there are other times when Ted wants to just run at that bear with arms wide open.  Knowing that he will most likely be malled to death, he is willing to take that chance.  He is so anxious to grow in his relationship with that bear, but he knows he must take things slow.  This decision is okay with him.  He knows that it is the best and least lethal choice.  These two terms can help each other out to acheive a greater meaning.  The term is sensibility.  Replacing the i and a of course, but all in all, these terms create something important.  Without them, Ted would not be alive.
