“How is man to recognize his full self, his full power through the eye’s of an incomplete woman? The woman who has been stripped of Goddess recognition and diminished to a big ass and full breast for physical comfort only. The woman who has been silenced so she may forget her spiritual essence because her words stir too much thought outside of the pleasure space. The woman who has been diminished to covering all that rots inside of her with weaves and red bottom shoes.
I am sure the men, who restructured our societies from cultures that honored woman, had no idea of the outcome. They had no idea that eventually, even men would render themselves empty and longing for meaning, depth and connection.
There is a deep sadness when I witness a man that can’t recognize the emptiness he feels when he objectifies himself as a bank and truly believes he can buy love with things and status. It is painful to witness the betrayal when a woman takes him up on that offer.
He doesn’t recognize that the [creation] of a half woman has contributed to his repressed anger and frustration of feeling he is not enough. He then may love no woman or keep many half women as his prize.
He doesn’t recognize that it’s his submersion in the imbalanced warrior culture, where violence is the means of getting respect and power, as the reason he can break the face of the woman who bore him 4 four children.
When woman is lost, so is man. The truth is, woman is the window to a man’s heart and a man’s heart is the gateway to his soul.
Power and control will NEVER out weigh love.
May we all find our way.”
~ Jada Pinkett-Smith, Sinuous Magazine
this is something that every man should understand realise and practice..dominating and undermining women is only derogating our society and hindering true progress. when every man realises the valuee of the female divinity, the world will be a holistic place where enlightenment will not be a distant dream.
But there is this one superstitious custom which is strikingly awesome. Mom says if you have gathered too much of a negative attention from people, that is jealousy mostly, the evil eye as some may call it, there is a way to test it and most probably nullifies the negativism even. She takes a few dried chilies, takes each one and waves it from top to bottom of my body and then put it in the open flame of the burner. She does so with each of the chilies. And surprisingly, not even a little bit of smell of the chilies are released. That’s a sign of whether you have received the so called evil eye of others. It didn’t really gel with me, I was curious how that could happen because I knew how pungent the smell of chilies can be-u can’t remain in the room I bet! So this one particular time Id thought that may be the chilies are some how defected so I took out a few more from the container. I turned on the gas burner and put a chili on the flame and within seconds that fiery pungent aroma was released! All the other chilies needn’t be tested. Point taken, case settled. This is a creepily true phenomenon and has always bugged. If anyone knows any scientific explanation, do throw some light on the matter and free me from the creepy bug inside my head 😉
