Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit,
but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself’
(Philippians 2:3).
ALACK OF EMPATHY sets many men and women at war. Empathy is understood as the ability to be interested in others and established healthy relationships with them. Those who can’t show sympathy are self-centered and think everyone and everything should revolve around their wishes; when they don’t achieve this, they openly show their frustration by becoming hostile.
Humility is also a virtue that bring us closest to others’ it means denying our personal needs in order to please those we love. Humility may lead us to sacrifice and self-denial, without offending our own selves. The greatest act of humility was exemplified by Jesus on the cross at Calvary, when He denied Himself to do His Father’s will, in order to save humanity who didn’t deserve it.
The gender struggle will be eradicated for good when return to their essence and become more and more feminine (not only feminist), and when men become masculine (not chauvinist). Our differences in of themselves, don’t set us on opposing sides; on the contrary, they give us the opportunity to do things and transcend together.
Dear friend, count the men in your life. They could be father, husband, son brother, son in law, boss, friend, etc. Evaluated the way you related with them. Ig you think that your right have been trampled, fight to defend them without losing your delicacy and dignity.
Don’t become an avenger by adopting the same attitudes.
If you do, you lose your femininity, lower your valued, and eventually you will realize that it’s a pointless struggle.
On the other hand, if you have an equal relationship with them.
Appreciate them, respect them offer them your personal attributes without attempting to stand out or show superiority.
Accept the leadership of honest, fair minded and balance men. Let yourself be led; you will be relieved of many tensions, physical and emotional fatigue.
“If we can’t end our differences, lets help make the world a fit place for them.”
As men and women, together we can defeat injustice, inequality, abuse, discrimination and so many other things that present us from enjoying our mutual company.
As Kennedy said, “If we cannot end our differences, let’s help make the world a fit place for them.»
