Enduring Life

As a child we are taught to endure life and all it has to offer. These standards which are instilled in our hearts and minds are often the experiences of generations past and are passed down to us. Accepting them without question has become a way of life simply because this is the way it has always been done. It does not necessarily mean that it is right , but we are creatures of habit and tend to follow traditions.

One of these standards that is questionable occurs in our lives at a very young age. We are taught that males and females are different and should have separate feelings and emotions when dealing with everyday situations in life. We are also taught that our likes and dislikes should never be the same and this learning usually takes place before reaching puberty.

Females are taught to love and care, showing and feelings emotion in a totally different manner than a male. On the other hand males are taught that showing emotion is a sign of weakness which cannot be tolerated and they are often punished for such displays. They are taught that this type separation is healthy, making women more feminine ,appealing to men and men stronger and more desirable to women.

Life has taught us that men and woman should always have their own space. Unfortunately this separation of the genders has always seemed so counter productive that it borders on the point of ridiculous. Through this separation we are told that both male and female will experience a better relationship. The truth is this tends to keeps us apart , causing us to seek persons with similar likes and dislikes so that we may fulfill our desire for companionship and understanding.

By choosing a mate with similar feelings we would not have the desire to look elsewhere for fulfillment and would build a tighter bond. As we grow older inevitably we find that the more things we can share with our mate , the better we exist. Sharing similar likes, we become as one, doing things together with great happiness and expectations.

Due to our training in our younger years we are plagued with feeling of guilt for being too much like the opposite sex. In fact, we find that we have wasted most of our lives avoiding the things we have sought from the very beginning. Thing like sharing , companionship , love , understanding and the list goes on and on.

The bible tells men to love their wives as Christ loved the church and for women to submit unto there husbands. These things were not said to cause separation , or for one to think that they are better or stronger than the other. These were said to create a bond or unity through, love, understanding and unconditional happiness in each other, not to cause separation. Isn’t this what we all truly desire in our lives? Perhaps it is time to protest what we are taught and to change the way we think.?
