An Ideal Man

I want a man who does not spend most of his time talking.
But someone who spends his time using his hands to build or create something.

I want a man who does not give so much effort to convince others that he is right
I want a man who spends time listening to others and is interested in their ideas.
A person who seldom speaks, but when he does people believe on him.

I want a man who does not show his power
By making a woman obey or agrees with him
A man who respects women
And sees them as co-equals in thoughts and in deeds
Not someone who claims that he is someone progressive
And yet does verbal and physical assault on women…

I want a man who does not tell me who is the author of this book and that, the ideas of various philosophers and who were the presidents of the United States.
Because I am not that smart
I want to listen to man who knows the root causes of the injustices in the world
And at the same time can also talk about a telenovela or a funny experience that
had happened during the day.

I want a man who believes in science
But at the bottom of his heart he believes in God….or at least doubts that GOD does not exist.

I want a man who can defend me and who is not a coward.
Someone who knows when to retreat and when to fight
I want a man who seems arrogant but gentle inside.

I want a man who could be easily pleased by merely cooking him a food.
I want a man who is funny
Someone who does not joke at my expense.

I want a man I can request to do some errands
A man I can ask to fix the rooftop
A type of man I will definitely and gladly serve with all my heart.

I want a man not easily rattled
A man who can maintain presence of mind in times of emergency.

Maybe it is impossible to find a man who has all these qualities.
Well I will just dream that he exists…

the picture was taken from the internet, the website I
cannot remember

But hate is not the opposite of love
Fear is the opposite of love
Fear that is usually nurtured by ego
The ego that refuses to get intimate or get closer
to another human being
The ego that refuses to be reminded that one can trust
and love another person
The ego that keeps on saying ... you do not need
anybody
The ego that makes us proud...
Fear is the opposite of love...
