   I read about the same idea in the “Laws of Power”. A person becomes more powerful if he seems not leaning nor interested in either side. The protagonists will try to get that person’s attention. Siya yung liligawan kumbaga. Magandang comparison siguro yung pagpapakipot ng isang dalaga sa kanyang manliligaw. Mas nababaliw yung nanliligaw pag di niya mabasa yung iniisip ng nililigawan niya kung may pag-asa ba or wala. He’s under her power.

   Ah, true. 🙂 Very applicable. But I think in a broader sense the article touches on how our lives intersect with each other, and how our interactions are more harmonious when we see each other with a healthy disinterest, i.e., when we leave each other alone to be free to be ourselves, when we are interested in knowing each other as people, and yet we do not form unnecessary expectations of each other. We are freer to celebrate each other for who we are and what we bring to the table, without putting undue constraints on each other. Di ba like minsan sa grupo nagkakainisan, kasi minsan meron tayong kanya-kanyang idea kung pa’no dapat mangyari ito o iyon, kung pa’no dapat kumilos si ganito o si gan’on. Mas maganda ang samahan kapag walang masyadong madaming guidelines na kailangang sundin, mas organic ‘yung mga interaction natin — nangyayari na lang. Parang gan’un. 🙂
