[QUOTE]Originally posted by Monica: [QB] Interesting points Lori, I'm sure that Adoula will respond very soon <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/wink.gif"> By the way Lori, did you get the email I sent today? if not <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/frown.gif"> I will send it again! But we have a nice issue on the 'competition thread page 7 and 8. Please take a look if you'd like, and join the discussion. Monica [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lori: [b]Well my two cents in all this "evil" stuff: Men (as in men and women) are contradictory creatures. They need to eat, drink, sleep and mate like any other animal. On the other hand, they also exhibit some traits no other creature has in terms of organization of human society, the ability to think and feel emotions far beyond animal instincts. Also, human children require the longest and most careful period of loving care from their parents in order to develop properly. No animal requires this much time to mature. (not to mention that despite this great care some of us do not really mature after all <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/smile.gif">) ... but, imperfect as men are, no two people are endowed with the same degree of spirituality and "animality" - is this word correct? The long years of development are meant to prepare the individual to negotiate his duality in his own mind. The same person can spend hours listening to Beethoven in concert or making love. Is one of the two more "evil" than the other? The answer is no. As Gandalf put it in "The Lord of the Rings", all we can do in our life is decide what to do with our time that is left to us. So in the time left to us, shall we nurture our animal or our spiritual side? The answer to this question is the reason behind many religions. And yet the answer is simple: BOTH We are naturally drawn to one side more than the other. A few people are more connected with the spiritual side. Some reach extremes. Einstein was a genius. However he looked like someone with other things on his mind than women. The worse, I think, is for a person not to know her own limits, not accept hersef for who she is and not discipline herself in order to become what she wishes to become. Most people, I think, are lazy and drawn to the animal life. If allowed, they will spend all day eating, drinking, smoking perhaps making sex (and perhaps shopping - I know a few people like that) and generally pampering the animal inside. These activities, however, do not bring money and the necessary things to live. So the lazy person must discipline herself in order to survive, and must limit or postpone some activities in favor of others. This is an act of spirituality because this decision comes from the brain, not the animal side. And it is a decision many people are not happy with. If someone is adult, they will understand and assume responsability for themselves. If not, so they try to blame someone. Since traditionally women were at home with the children, the man had to work. He had to discipline himself. So he blames the woman for "distracting him from his work" SUCH BULLSHIT. So what do men say - you distract me from my work? It is actually the other way around. Work distracts men from more pleasureble passing of time. Dear men, for once in your life admit it.
