Should we or should we not tango? This is the question.
A wise man once said that most relationships are like a tango. A good tango. Complicated, with unexpected steps and moves, different with each new partner, more or less doable, but always very passionate.
Are they though really worth it? Should we try to finalize a tango dance every time we begin a new one, or perhaps give up when the partner's moves are not the right ones for us? Everyone who's watched a tango dance knows how unpredictable and brutal it can become, unless both partners really know how to manage all their gestures, meaning have them at the right time, in the right direction and coordinate together beautifully. Otherwise, the whole idea would be somehow a rather funny/grotesque one, and all its charm and elegance would be lost.
Comparing to the dance, our relationships are far more difficult to handle, apparently, mainly to the fact that usually one of the partners doesn't want to...do the tango or doesn't know how. And, until the two of them really learn how to form a couple for this dance, one of them may find another more suitable partner and decide to leave.
That's why certain people don't dance the tango anymore, apparently - too much fear of commitment, too much passion they wouldn't know how to handle, too much of everything, I guess. They also choose to miss the whole beauty of it, but that's another story.
