Topic: Women That Become So Driven They Lose Their Femininity - 10/24/09 (from July though)

Men are inherently egotistical, while females are inherently defensive. The prevailing of either, or both, of these traits is typically at the root of a relationship gone bad, for the prevailing of these traits creates a deep insecurity; as Ms. Cotton has said, insecurity is the killer of relationships. As I said in the other video on this topic, I think that men and women alike need to be more self-effacing. We need to submit ourselves not only to God, but to ourselves. For a man, if he can humble himself to the point of putting himself before his ego, he will be able to accept a driven woman, or a woman that wins more bread than he. For a woman, if she can humble herself to the point that she can accept a man being there for her, she won't have to worry about feeling subservient, for a good man will appreciate her drive and respect her ambitions.

Once a man and woman have humbled themselves, both are vulnerable; however, because they have both humbled themselves, they can respect each other's positions since they have experienced the same process. At that point, any affection is backed my mutual respect, which can breed a good, pure love. Just my thoughts.

This was my response to a video on advising women that it's ok to be a traditional woman:

I would also like to say this about women: I think this problem would go away if they were more self-effacing. There's nothing wrong with being driven/career-oriented, but if you feel like you're losing your femininity, then you should take it upon yourself to humble yourself. Much like a man has to walk the line between confidence and arrogance, a female has to walk the line between femininity and over-dedication to ambition. However, a man will be able to accept you, flaws and all. If your deepest flaw is not being all too feminine, he should be able to accept that. If he cleans and you cook, he can accept you without makeup, and you two are happy, then there's no need to be more feminine. You must stay true to yourself...that's REAL femininity. Some men have a problem with driven women because being driven is supposed to be a 'men's thing.' BS. That's just insecurity on his part.

Once again, these are just my thoughts, and I thought I'd share them. Hope you enjoyed!

Infidelity - 10/19/09

"Infidelity is like a storm: no matter how sudden it is, there were conducive conditions; no matter the intensity, it still happened and has effects; the longer the duration, the worse the aftermath; sometimes there are sparks (lightning), and other times it is meant to make noise (thunder); the sun always comes out afterward...sometimes revealing rainbows, sometimes revealing devastation."

-A. Lewis

One Of My Personal Manifestos - 10/19/09

"I keep tears on my shoulders and hope on my back, my eyes on the future so I never look back; the past is in my heart while the present is in my hands, the mind of a philosopher but the soul of a man."

-A. Lewis

October Philosophies - 10/19/09

"Violence is inevitable, yet unnecessary. The only thing in this world that necessitates violence is the inevitable escalation of a situation given the propensity of the human mind to one-up someone once compromise seems unlikely, unreasonable, or simply a hassle. When our minds cannot settle, they become dominant; at that point, they take the course of escalation; argue, traduce, juxtapose, threaten, action. And when we can't dominate, we eliminate."

"It is said that 'Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.' Well, money is power. Ergo, money corrupts. Think about the the things people do for money, and how bad they want it...think about the lengths people that have money will go to just to keep it. Most importantly, this is why you see people stick with jobs and not careers; jobs pay money, careers pay enjoyment and fulfillment. Think about it."

"Patience is the equilibrium of anticipation and restraint. That being said, we mustn't anticipate so intently. It is one thing to prepare, and another to insinuate. Conversely, we mustn't restrain to the point of utter docility; nothing in life is given, and to wait is to subject events to time and its unforgivingly impersonal course."

"In our lives, our energy flows. Be it positive or negative. Stress is but energy backup, which is why you have to let things go and keep it moving sometimes."

The Good Man's Manifesto - 10/6/09

"Such a beautiful woman with a precious soul; I see dents and scratches, signs of the previous holders of your sterling heart. It is tarnished, and at the risk of it being broken, you keep it locked away. Oh how I beg for an opportunity...I can promise you I will wash your soul with a love so pure, I shall expunge the ingrained marks of past men and polish your heart, so that the world can see it shine as it should."

-A. Lewis

An Axiom - 10/6/09

"Actions are but reflections of our thoughts; judgments are but reflections of our vices and personal expectations."

-A. Lewis

A Freestyle - 10/6/09

"Every time I find a young lady I believe I should fight for, she simply turns out to be another that I'm not right for. I guess it's never hunch time, gotta eat the truth like it's lunch time, need a Nestle watch 'cuz I'm always on crunch time, have to act before the girl is stolen like a spot in the lunch line, but I always lose to the klepto, try not to get attached since I always have to let go, need to figure out my offense though I've never had an ex and don't mess with O's (ho's), I'm tired of only X's, I'm trying to get some O's."

Philosophy - 10/6/09

"Many people in this world are behind in their thought processes. You must realize that there is something happening at every moment, every second you live, whether or not you are involved in the occurrence. That being said, you never know what may affect you. Most people say they 'think ahead.' Thinking ahead is really thinking on time. To truly think ahead, one must prepare himself for any and all situations, no matter how preposterous, and be cognizant of not only the consequences of his actions, but the effects of the consequences as well. Ready is not enough; one must be prepared for everything, yet expect nothing. This is the equilibrium that makes for a halcyon mind."

-A. Lewis

A Converse Truth - 10/6/09

"There is never a right time to do something wrong, but there is never a wrong time to do what's right."

Winter Appreciation - 10/6/09

"Deep within the recesses of your heart burns a flame; a flame that keeps me warm on days such as this. When I hold you close, I feel a warmth that nothing on this earth could bring; your love is so wonderfully sublime. Your love insulates me from the real world, snuggling me in the cozy cove of your thoughtful affection. Nothing else feels better than taking refuge in your endless care, and I love you for having me."

-A. Lewis

A Little Something To Live By - 10/6/09

"Much of what we experience isn't tangible for a reason: when it's good, we can immerse ourselves in it mentally; when it's bad, we can transcend it spiritually."
