Ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends are the former boyfriends or girlfriends. I looked up the exact definition for ex but all I found was one from Yahoo!Answers. So I guess, ex also means no longer existing. I kid. But it seems that way, anyway. Doesn't it? Anyway, last night I had a heart to heart talk with an ex whom I just recently got along with. We talked about the lessons we learned from each other and it was a great experience.
We learn the truth from those people who we got close to and are still close to. Our friends may also be there for us but sometimes, it is the girlfriends or boyfriends who really see us for who we are. If our friends tell us that we are like this and like that, some people wouldn't take it seriously. However, if it would be coming from their special someone, they would listen. It would make people think about what has been said about them. If this is the flow of a person's relationship with their exes as well, then it would help both parties become better people. Just do make sure that you guys are not in there for banter or your sharing of pros and cons about a person wouldn't work out for the best.
It really is important to retain the friendship even if the relationship has ended. We meet lots of people, but we only make a few friends. Again, save the friendship even if you end the relationship.

On The Movie 'Wit'
Wit. It is defined as an intellectual humor, a witty remark, a keenness and quickness of perception or discernment, or the natural ability to perceive and understand. Since I was able to differentiate intelligent from the wise, I have been calling myself a witty person. Branding people as they pass, labeling them even when I don't mean to. It has become a habit. A very bad habit.
In the movie, I saw a scholar struggling and seeking to be considered and treated as a human being. However, all she has gotten from her health care professionals, mainly the doctors, is the treatment of a research subject - a guinea pig. She was treated the way she treated her students when she was still teaching. The only person to have been compassionate enough was the nurse. Well, there was also her former graduate school teacher who visited her from time to time, but that was different from the nurse's care for her. It made me see who I was through the eyes of another, and I realized, I was treating people for who I perceive they are rather than for who they really are.
Wit is good when it is applied on poetry, but it doesn't really help on being human.
