The Eve complex
The Eve complex is the biblical example of how man lived within the confines of Gods plan for ages. It wasn’t until Eve came and found that she had all of paradise at her feet, she had not to work, she had not to labor child or sweat. All the bitch had to do was stay away from one freakin tree. Could she do that? Noooo, she had to be discontent with 99.9% of the world that she went and defied God. Now look at us.
With the rare exception of women who are comfortable and confident with their own happiness regardless of a relationship, most women will never be content and completely happy. Women will never admit or agree with this statement, no matter how long they have been living in a state of unhappiness. They will always believe they deserve more, more respect, more love, more gifts, more compliments, more sex, more attention…More something. Damn girl, can’t you just be happy and appreciate what you got? Why do I have to be a sorry ass man if I’m not working extra hard to change something about myself just because you think it will make you happy? I don’t believe the state of happiness is possible for you for any substantial length of time. So why should I warm up and stretch just to jump through this hoop of yours when I know as soon as I grab a cold one with my left, and the remote with my right to relax on the couch, you are going to be crying with another hoop in your hand.
Men, don’t listen to them. Get your system in place. Be determined to be the best man you want to be. After that, find a women somewhat tolerable and live with her. Know that every now and then she is going to hold up a hoop. Do not feel obligated to jump through them all, becuase if you do, she’ll call you a weak pushover and question your manhood. Besides, this ain’t no freakin circus. Do I look like a little yap dog to you? Don’t answer that because that may display your discontent once again.
Thanks Eve,
O’Lawrence
Your commentary is absolutely hilarious. I’m in my my forties now and not easily offended anymore. From an objective perspecitve I can see some truth in what you’ve written and I also can also see the falacy. The Eve syndrome that you speak of is not isolated to women it is a human condition, the flesh can never be satisfied but in a relationships people tend to put the burden of being satisfied on each other. The true problem is many people operate from the flesh and the flesh can never be satisfied because it will always crave something bigger better and more pleasurable. How you can tell if your living from the flesh is, if your always thinking, saying or feeling “what about me” your probably living from the flesh. When you live from the spirit you forget about self and try your best to please your partner. If your partner is focused on pleasing you and you are focused on pleaseing her then in the end everybody needs are met. But when I’m focused on pleasing me and your focused on pleasing you in the end everybody’s need go unmet. Find a woman who understands this concept and if you subscribe to this concept yourself everybody will be happy. When you sit down to watch TV, if you’ve done all that needs to be done to meet her needs then she will do all that she can to meet your needs, even if it is just leaving you alone.
That is just my two cents.
I agree with LJ. When you live from the spirit its about helping others and not expecting anything in return. Self gratification should be felt within oneself. My boyfriend complies with my every need and I his, no complants heard. We can sit in silence with one another and be content. I believe my soulmate is next to me now.
I also agree with BOTH LJ and April. I believe that it is not just a woman condition but is very much a HUMAN condition. Are you to tell me that if Adam and Eve were to switch places, that Adam wouldn’t have lusted after the apple???
In a relationship, BOTH individuals must ADHERE to the idea of give and take but with more emphasis being put on the giving aspect. What’s so wrong with being willing to do and go above and beyond for your mate if they’re worth it? It would and should by any means be reciprocated. In this case, both individuals are pretty satisfied and may indeed be content with the 99.9% that their sigificant has to offer….okay..okay..maybe 92.3%…smile…NOBODY’s perfect.
The idea that I live by is treat others how you would want to be treated. If the other individual does and cannot reciprocate in return, the maybe you need to search for another Adam or Eve……
This letter was from a Adam to a Eve. One of our biggest downfalls in relationships is the inability or unwillingness to look inward and criticize self first. This may bring a better understanding of our partner and correct flaws before they fester.
Yes J, one should criticize self first. Men continue to blame eve, when GOD gave them both the same instructions, the fact that she disobeyed did not mean he had to.
LOL …O BOY, NOBODY WILL WIN THIS DEBATE. THE ONLY THING MAN AND WOMAN CAN PROVE IS MEN DID, WILL AND WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW AFTER A NAKED FEMALE. MAYBE EVE DID BITE THE FRUIT FIRST BUT A MAN WILL DO ANYTHING FOR SOME TAIL…. EVEN DISOBEY HIS CREATOR. IT’S SIMPLE GUYS. ADAM WAS Q DUDE…
There is always a honeymoon period that we are lulled into a euphoric state after doing something forbidden and against God’s will. You bite, hit or suck and it is addicting, what a rush. That feeling is an alarm that we ignore. For the next few moments or months we think we invented something new and we construct our lives around it.
Then you look up and you are so far deep into it, that you can’t get out when you discover the repercussions. Racism, Drugs, Aids… There are ills that man puts to his own lips due to his will over the will of God.
So what honeymoon are we enjoying right now that will eventually cause the near destruction of our sense of peace? Is it the breaking up of our families and loss of morals that will causes us to drawn in our own ways? Is it the liberal ways we live and let live with no censorship or restraint? How long can we live with this “anything goes” mentality. Me over you, has to eventually pay the piper.
