Men and Women are from Earth, not Venus or Mars

Posted by Revolving magnum condom filler


Archimedes once said, "give me means of support and I shall raise the world"

This great philosopher believed that a women is representative of nature and man represents the seed in which one implants into nature to create life. His statement simply means that, a man cannot create without the mind of a women and that the right women and man can create the harmony only God would approve of. So what has happened to todays couple? Where is the unison of mind, body and spirit between the masculine and the feminine traits?

It seems that today people are only concerned with there own endeavors. Society has lead us to think that survival of the fittest means forgetting that we still depend on each other to thrive. Just as the earth needs the seed in order for a tree to grow, so does a man need a women (interdependently). I see women that create fantasies in there heads of an ideal ("perfect") man, unable to focus on the real (more substantial) men that lay in front of them. I also see men that abuse women in a way that goes beyond the physical and emotional, in order to bolster their own ego by taking advantage of a womens divine nature.

I am working on a bigger piece on this topic, but I would like to end with this statement so that an opinion can be formed. Tell me what you think.

A women should prove herself to a man as much as she asks him to prove himself to her. We live in an egalitarian society; no women should demand the life and trust of a man if she does not deserve it. The same goes for a man

While this is true, sometimes one must look at the facts - there are billions of people on this planet. Maybe God did not intend on humans to confine their adult lives with just one person, this "soulmate" that many people refer to as. Maybe our lives were set up to touch as many other lives as possible and take these experiences and engulf these stories that we learn from meeting new people and use it as energy to fuel the tanks of our lives. Knowledge is power - we can attain it from books, but the best knowledge is attained from meeting people...how are we supposed to meet other people if we stay glued to one or a handful of people our entire lives?

To think that a man must DEPEND on one woman to be great is, while flattering, a bit of an overstatement. Vice versa, it is not necessary for a woman to become great while DEPENDING on a man. True, society has created a dog-eat-dog world, where it seems like people will fight and do whatever it takes for their own betterment. But instead of looking at it as such an animalistic way, we can embrace the fact that human beings as a species have created challenge to help push the mind, endurance, and soul of a person. This way, we can filter out those who are not cut out to be on top, and therefore identify the true leaders of the world.

It's all relative, playa.

What you are saying has relative truth. What I mean by the dependency of the sexes doesn't solely apply to the individual relationship per say, I only used it as an example. But to stick with my example (unison between two individuals), I shall say this: the greatest inspirations, creations, inventions etc... have come either from conflict of opposing forces, or through the unison of polar opposites (e.g., Allies and Axis of ww1 ,an Artist and his Muse, or Biochemist and a Psychologist.).
I think you are right to say that some may be more suited to take the energy they need from a relationship, event, or what have you and move on. But that to me- and to most people- is inefficient and impractical, this is why people have created this desire for the “one,” partially out of fantasy and mostly out of their internal desire to have an equal exchange of “energy” (I use that term loosely). Also just so you know my stance, this concept of the “soul mate,” in my opinion is just a person’s lassitude-inal ignorance, in which people are not willing to work and are only looking for a perfect handout. Power is how someone uses his knowledge; some people have all the answers, but cannot solve a problem.

These relationships are valid, but essentially nothing continues to last in the same state they began as. The equal exchange of energy can occur you speak of makes a lot of sense, however it will no longer remain equal after a certain period of time. The only constant thing is life is change - if we meet someone when we are a certain age and form some sort of relationship with them (whether friendship or intimate relationship), chances are the energy that was exchanged between the two in 1999 is different than the energy being exchanged between the same two now in 2009. We are ever-evolving; whether it's due to difference in socio-economic status, going from high school to college to post grad, or whether personal beliefs change.

The thought of being with someone for better or for worse, till death do us part, has always been a great ideal, but it's beginning to be clear to me that it can be quite false. I don't think there is an actual thing as a perfect marriage; I believe that's just a nice way of saying "I have given up part of who I am to modify the situation that I'm in to be civil and live-able and this is what I have as a result."
