Just a Thought

Greatness has many interpretations in people's minds. In my mind, a great person is a someone who's main focus in life is to conquer the impossible and break the barriers.

In the world of a great man, there's no place for a great woman, because when a great woman is found, she needs to be cherished all the time, and this holds no prospect of challenge to a great man. That's why a great man can only have one (or both) of two types of women in his life: a quiet woman who's a mother most of the time, and a series of flings. That's because a great man wants and gives love in small, distant doses. A great man doesn't have the time to worship a woman all the time, but a great woman needs to be worshiped most of the time.

A great man has a great pride, and he will never compromise that pride. That's why he's so stubborn, because his opinion is not just a opinion; it's an expression of his pride.
In the world of a great woman, there's a small place for a great man, provided he does not shake her sense of greatness and does not invade her space with his own grandiose self. A great woman wants and gives love most of the time, and she can cave for small things to please that man, but there are things that are off limits. She demands the great man to compromise in the amount of attention he's willing to give. If the great man is really moved by that woman, he may be ready to make the compromise, but that might not last for long. Because a great man lives for the challenge, the great woman has to be a constant challenge. So the great woman has two things to do for that man; show him that she sincerely appreciates the extra amount of care he's giving her, and pose a continuous out of reach goal to him.

Why is a great woman asked to go the extra mile for a great man while he's just asked to give a little more love that he normally gives? Because a great woman can make the compromise without feeling that her pride is injured. Because her generosity is an integral part of her greatness. While selfishness is an integral part of the man's greatness. Not the selfishness that means self-absorption in his needs without a care for the world, but rather the selfishness that makes him strongly believe in himself and his capacities.
