Duality

I was reading about duality tonight and, at the same time, eating an ice cream sandwich that was chocolate wafer with chocolate ice cream on one side and vanilla wafer with vanilla ice cream on the other.

What is the point of putting both of these into one treat I don’t really understand.  I tried eating it from both sides and did notice that whichever side was closer to my tongue seemed to be the predominating flavor, but why not just package all chocolate and all vanilla ice cream sandwiches in a box together and let the eater choose which she wants?

I suppose they probably do that and yet I bought this one.  Well, mostly I bought it because my daughter was so enthralled by the fact that these exist in this form.  For her these are the best.  I may never know why.

Just like I may never understand the duality of men and women.

First of all there are so many different kinds of men and women and each one seems to define masculinity and femininity differently.  Each one of us really only knows who we are and even that is often suspect.

Sometimes I find it amazing that any of us can communicate at all, but maybe that isn’t the point.  Perhaps the point is only in the tasting and the trying.
