The woman in love knows the most bitter solitude...

"Man's love is of man's life a thing apart,'Tis woman's whole existence "

A few observations of Nietzsche haunt me....as the self defeating tendencies of women including myself get more pronounced when i see them with men.She chooses to desire her enslavement so fervently that she begins to belive it is an expression of her liberty....

Simone De Beauvoir couldnt be more apt....Many women suffer in becoming adults;and so great a number remain obstinately babyish...prolonging their childhood indefinitely...To become a child again in a man's arms fills their cups with joy..."when will he come..he who can dominate me"

And then they expect themselves to be loving to their men unconditionally even to their own damage...she is content to be the one who is always there and the one who will always wait..eternally wait...cos i would rather wait for you than believe that you are not coming at all....A wait can be a dazzling promise when he si hastening towards her but when the exaltation fades theres an uneasy torment....She is habituated to living on her knees...

Love reveals us to ourselves by making us come outta ourselves....Love as a form of perception brings to light new skies and a new earth...even in the landcape where we have always lived...Here is the great secret : the world is different.I myslef am different.And im no longer alone in knowing it.Someone has apprised me of the fact...

When will women understand this...that she has to love not in her weakness but in her strength...not to escape herslef but to find herself...that day love will be be a source of life for her and not of immortal danger...
