[QUOTE]Originally posted by Adoula: [QB] Wowwwwwwwwwwww, we have a new friend here. Hi Lori, and welcome again to our Evil stuff. You probably know some of Robert Burns poetic lines: Robert Burns wasn’t the first—nor will he be the last—to draw upon analogies to describe the opposite sex. Women are gorgeous, sensual, wonderfully contradictory creatures that drive men absolutely batty. If women didn’t exist… men would never bathe and would be drinking beer, watching ESPN around the clock, never accomplishing anything worthwhile. He said: Women are like… onions. They make you cry, even when you peel their wrappings off. But wait, on the other hand, it is often said (usually by women :-) that men are inconsiderate, lack perception and sensitivity, and are not particularly observant. Women remain more personal in their interests and less concerned with abstractions than men on the same level of intelligence and culture. While men are happily generalizing, making judgments on this and that, and forgetting for the time being themselves and all their concerns, women are brooding over the particular and personal application and are wondering what hidden motive, what secret desire, what stifled memory of joy or hurt, are there prompting our thought. But this habit of mind in women does not spoil talk; on the contrary it improves it, restoring the balance. . . . It is the habit of men to be overconfident in their impartiality, to believe that they are god-like intellects, detached from desires and hopes and fears and disturbing memories, generalizing and delivering judgment in a serene mid-air. Granted, we are as different as Mars versus Venus, apples and oranges, or night and day. But think about it: planets are planets, fruit are fruit, and time is time. Are we really so different after all? Now to the Evil point: Shall we nurture our animal or our spiritual side? I believe that every human has their own unique path to knowing God, to remembering God and the Divine in all beings, and within themselves. I also believe we each have a unique path to learning how to love and be loved. For some of us, this path is lined with animals--being with them, near them, exchanging love with them, being guided and inspired by them, at times just looking at them. To become truly human we need to understand that we are one with all things. There is an interesting quote; The function of Theosophists is to open men's hearts and understandings to charity, justice, and generosity, attributes which belong specifically to the human kingdom and are natural to man when he has developed the qualities of a human being. Theosophy teaches the animal-man to be a human-man; and when people have learned to think and feel as truly human beings should feel and think, they will act humanely, and works of charity, justice, and generosity will be done spontaneously by all. A wonderful vision this. If we act from our true nature, the higher part of our nature, then we will truly function as human beings and develop an undying love for all things. The true Path lies in widening the sphere of our Love. [/QB][/QUOTE]
