This is one of those cut diamond subjects, isn't it? No matter the angle, it is mesmerizing.
Last night I was thinking strange thoughts, and finally I concluded that delving into the mysteries of the joining of men and women (whether something comes of it or not) is like joining the two halves of the whole, although, on our own we are whole, and on a societal level, we are whole.
I think that "humanity" is incomplete until man and woman come together somehow. Whether the man is compliant, or the woman, whether they take turns, whatever happens, finding a way to do it is like taking the road of life one step at a time.
So long as you don't go off the beaten path and get lost,...(well, then again, you might find some vista that no one else has yet discovered.)
To those who remain agressively independant, I wonder how realistic it is to take pride in trying to make yourself better than anyone else. It is better to be humble and quiet. Those you step on on the way up the ladder are the same ones who will help you on the way down. If there's one thing I know about life: it has a breath-taking array of valleys and mountains.
