Your Dog Walking in Front of You Doesn’t Mean He Is Leading You

“We are a generation of men raised by women” — Fight Club.

I found this very interesting read on it: “With all the social justice and woke shit going on in this world, and women basically demonizing men, especially the white ones; it begs the question — who was it that raised all these awful men?” — Gerritt Black

I was not thinking along the same lines though when I heard the thought-provoking statement made by Tyler in Fight Club. It's probably because I’m a bipolar schizophrenic. Or at least considered to be by better experts than myself.

Think about the Stone Age, when men ventured into the wild to provide food for their families. While they were risking their lives so their family including themselves were safe, the women tended the homes and the children. Including the young males.

Children are curious. What would their mothers do if the kids asked them questions? They can only answer the children’s questions from their point of view. The feminine perspective. (If there’s a difference in the way the females, males, and others see themselves and the world)

Do you trust your mother? Have you ever considered she might be biased?

If you’re a female, you’d think the way you look at things is right, just like everyone else. If you are proven wrong, you might change your perspective, so you’re right again. The boys, girls and others would look up to their bigger, beautiful, loving mother who has all the answers.

Diffusion. Questions or answers — which of them has a better chance of winning?

Play it safe. Play by the rules. Play after you’ve studied the lessons I’ve learned.

The military generals used to be brave and led from the front. Then they started ordering “Charge!” from behind.

Now, they have become the smartest of the lot. They stay thousands of miles away from the frontlines.

“I learned from my illiterate but wise mother that all rights to be deserved and preserved came from duty well done. Thus the very right to live accrues to us only when we do the duty of citizenship of the world. From this one fundamental statement, perhaps it is easy enough to define the duties of Man and Woman and correlate every right to some corresponding duty to be first performed. Every other right can be shown to be a usurpation hardly worth fighting for.” -Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi left a mark on history, but were his game-changing ideas his own?

One day Thomas Edison came home and gave a paper to his mother. He told her, “My teacher gave this paper to me and told me to only give it to my mother.”

His mother’s eyes were tearful as she read the letter out loud to her child: Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn’t have enough good teachers for training him. Please teach him yourself.

After many, many years, after Edison’s mother died and he was now one of the greatest inventors of the century, one day he was looking through old family things. Suddenly he saw a folded paper in the corner of a drawer in a desk. He took it and opened it up. On the paper was written: Your son is addled [mentally ill]. We won’t let him come to school any more.

Edison cried for hours and then he wrote in his diary: “Thomas Alva Edison was an addled child that, by a hero mother, became the genius of the century.” — Source

One of the smartest minds in history got brainwashed into thinking it was smart.

“Devoted to his mother’s memory, Hitler carried a picture of Klara Hitler with him wherever he went for the rest of his life, including down into the Berlin bunker where he met his end in 1945.” — Source

If you love your mother so much that you’d carry her picture with you until death, wouldn’t you be influenced by her ideas and ideals?

Backseat driving. Just because the cab driver is driving doesn’t mean he decides where the cab goes.

People including women love and respect people including men with a lot of self-control. Control your emotions, body, and mind. And that body part of yours with a mind of its own.

Control yourself. That’s the only way to even hope to control that small space around you that you consider to be the universe.

Well done! You’re in control now. Here’s your trophy — You can preach now, you just turned yourself into a Guru.

Mars and Venus are more different than similar.

But here on earth, they look a lot like each other.

What’s the point of different names if they are in essence the same — planets orbiting around the same sun?
