This young man thought he had become successful with his desire. Boyfriend and girlfriend were they; the hard awkward early moments finally went away. All was good! Except…
“I am hungry,” (are they not always hungry!?). “Fetch me lunch.”
Poor young man! He had enough wisdom not to do this earlier, but now, he told himself, “She is my girlfriend. I must make her happy!”
He brought her lunch. After feeding her face, was she satisfied? NO! For she said, “I need to do this and this at work today. It would be wonderful if you would go get the supplies for me.”
And off the Nice Guy went! And when he returned, there was another task. Poor Nice Guy! On and on it went! More tasks, more chores, he became wrapped around her finger.
Then, it happened: “I think we should just be friends,” she said.
He realized. “By pleasing her whims, I lost track of mine. A servant you’ll be, a friend she’ll see. As…
Respect is All !
But Pook, why!? Why would respect be so vital?”
“I’m not equipped to answer such a question. Let us ask a Great Philosopher.”
And then, out of nowhere, appeared Socrates!
And Socrates replied, “That’s an easy one, Pook. Where there is reverence there is fear, but there is not reverence everywhere that there is fear, because fear presumably has a wider extension than reverence.” Socrates then vanished in a whirl of bluish smoke.
Respect is the realization of set boundaries. After all, how can reverence become without any sense of fear (of you walking away!)?
“Walk away?”
“Yes. Now let us ask a question to that opposite sex. Arise woman!”
The woman enters with flare and fire.
“Answer this riddle, why do men who are willing to walk away turn you on?”
And the woman laughs. “Didn’t everyone know this? A man that can walk away means that he has his pick of the litter and the woman can easily be replaced. You won’t find the lawyer or doctor or politician entangled with a woman at first.”
“Away you go!” The woman melted in a blaze of fire and flame.
“So the Great Catch is always willing to walk away!”
There are many things I do not understand about life, but there is one thing I know with certainty: you cannot live your life through other people’s eyes.
I believe most people trap themselves into a type of hollow life where they keep acting to please others…be it their girlfriends…their families…their employers…and forget about their soul. When your life is hollow…when it is soul-less…you are easily manipulated.
The most fascinating thing about people when they are manipulated is that they always think they are growing in power.
The ultimate end of this evolution is the politician. People think politicians hold power, but they are easily manipulated and the greatest fools of all.
What fascinates me about modern marriage is that the ‘couple’ act more like politicians than like sexualized male and female beings. They even refer to servicing the “marriage” as if it were something like a state. I know it was not always like this. John Locke’s “Two Treatises of Government” concluded the concept of natural rights from the natural interactions of man and wife. But if these interactions are turned into political, should we be surprised when men are not seen as beings of natural rights?
Always trust your gut. Always follow your soul.
Living your life for an ‘image’ (what many women and manipulated men tend to do) will lead you off the cliff. You will receive accolades but there will be no respect or achievement at the end.
When you follow your own soul, going your own way, you will become the ugly duckling. Employers will not want to hire you (and the same for potential girlfriends). But, if you don’t buckle, your ugly duckling nature can turn into a beautiful swan.
Most successful people do what 95% of others do not do. So by trying to appease that 95%, to live in their eyes, you’re already doomed on that path of failure.
Successful people do what unsuccessful people dare not to do: living by their own standards, not by someone else’s.
