Re: Can a woman love a man?

Self sacrifice is the general solution, as how each sex expresses love is inherently different, to ask whether a woman can love a man or not is not necessarily the most accurate question but rather the question is "how can a woman love a man?"Fairy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2024 6:59 pm Is the struggle because of the differences and is why men and women seem to be on two different planets from each other, both emotionally and intellectually.
How do we reach a place of mutual love, harmony and peace with each other, is it ever possible since we will always be wired differently upstairs?
And can we only operate and function in a way that is determined by how our brains are wired. Can we get past our differences and love each other anyway?
Love comes from a free heart and men and women express freedom in different degrees and manners.
The man sacrifices to provide a sense of security and stability, physically, emotionally and intellectually.
The woman sacrifices to provide a sense of nurturing warmth for the man's qualities to grow and be maintained.
These qualities of men and women are generally more prevalent in less complex societies where things are less forced and allowed to occur spontaneously and naturally.
But back to the point:
It's cyclical, by sacrificing for the other each maintains themselves. A man can be likened to a sword that cuts through the obstacles of life and woman is likened to a sheath for the sword that allows it to keep its edge. Generally a sword without a sheath rusts and loses its competency and generally a sheath without a sword is hollow and limited in purpose. Generally, men and women need eachother for survival and there opposition occurs more often in societies where resources are relatively easy to acquire, easy in the respect of an absence of sacrifice to acrue them.
The change in gender roles has be primarily a result of excessive conceptualization over how sexuality should manifest in the current time and space due to technological changes manifesting complex and ambiguous gender roles for both sides as the human condition is driven to adapt to the problems it created accidentally. With excessive conceptualization comes an inherent sense of contradiction and confusion as concepts have a dividing quality within them. We live in a time of conceptualization, devoid of wisdom.
The current sexuality dilemma can be reduced in severity and complexity if people learn to reduce grasping at how sexuality should be and instead seek an inner and out simplicity by reducing conditions for contentment. The current technological climate increases conditions for contentment by instilling within people an excessive dependency on technology. With an increase in conditions for contentment comes a loss of simplicity, with a loss of simplicity comes a loss in genuineness, with a loss of genuineness comes a loss of interior freedom, with a loss of interior freedom comes a loss of love....hence the modern coldness of hearts for both sides in how they relate to eachother.
Technology is neither good nor evil but merely a product of how we observe the world by our inherent values. Expediency is the current value and it is a byproduct of excessive desire, or rather greed, as we fear the silence that inherently levels the egos we created to kill the pains of existence in a defensive manner, and as such it has become an idol intended to give a sense of singularity but creates a paradoxical fragmentation in doing so. If one grasps for unity they will have it slip through a tightened grip, leaving only a fist.
In shorter terms, men and women will relate more harmoniously when they seek and practice simplicity as they can do this by reducing desire and living a disciplined moderation.
