There came to the Earth, Woman. Woman was very beautiful, she was strong, lithe, and able. She had a mind that was like Man, but, it had more complexities. Woman instantly knew of her powers over Man. She liked the way that it made her feel. She also liked the way that Man looked at her; thus, was born feminine wiles. Now, Woman was still in the learning process of life on Earth, and, Man was her teacher. She wanted to know everything, already assessing that she would eventually know more than him, and therefore, would have increased power over him. Man was so innocent, all he wanted to do was share his life, his world, his knowledge, and, everything else with this beautiful Woman. So, he naively taught her of all there was to know in the Garden of Life. Soon, Woman was learning things that Man did not know; she had been wandering beyond the designated boundaries of the Garden of Life. She withheld this new found freedom and information from Man, deciding that he need not know everything about her life on Earth. This led her to a forest, a thickly plush and massive forest. She would, in the beginning of her discovery, just explore the outer perimeters of the forest. After a while, she became comfortable with its beauty and decided to enter into the depths of it. Man never knew where Woman went day after day, he was busy finding new things to eat, and, to make into usable products. He was innocent and knew not to question her disappearances. His mistake...
On one day in particular, Woman kept going in the forest; there was so much to see, so many plants, flowers, vines, and animals, birds, and insects. Soon, it was very dark in the forest; Woman could no longer see. It was so dense, that it was even darker than it should have been. Woman now experienced fear. Woman now experienced loneliness. Woman now wished for Man. It was a long, frightening night for Woman. In the morning, the forest came to life, however, the daylight did not filter much through the thickness, though, there was a subdued light, enough to travel. Woman travelled and travelled, still no signs of exit. She found tears, which startled her at first, but found that they made her feel better. Another fearful night, another long day. Wandering aimlessly Woman was hungry, tired, cold, and lonely. She recalled Man and discovered a feeling inside; a warm and urgent feeling... She knew that if she ever saw Man again, she would be nicer, and, more receptive of his ways....
Man was angry, frightened, lonely, and frantic... He searched for Woman everywhere. Man did not know about the forest. He had not violated the perimeters of the Garden of Life. He too, cried, not sure what he was experiencing. All he knew is that he had to find Woman, the one he so missed. He searched and searched and searched, to no avail...
This is an example of what can happen when one or another person thinks that they have the upper hand in any relationship, and, to illustrate that though you might have some self-designed advantages, you should never use them against anyone, nor should you withhold them from someone you are bound to....
So, how should we end this story? Myself, I would like to think that in a few days, Man found Woman and they were so filled with gratefulness that they were able to always have great respect and honesty with one another... The call is yours...
