The Enjoyment of Home : On Getting Biological



The final test of any civilization is what type of husbands and wives and fathers and mothers does it turns out.  Besides the austere simplicity of such a question every other achievement of civilization – art, philosophy, literature and material living – pales into insignificance.

Man and woman leaving this world without a child is the greatest crime a man or a woman can commit against himself or herself.  If sterility is due to the body then the body is degenerated and wrong.  If it s due to the high cost of living, then the high cost of living is wrong.  If it is due to a too high standard of marriage, then the too high standard of marriage is wrong.  If it is due to fake philosophy of individualism, then the philosophy of individualism is wrong.  And if it is due to the entire fabric of social system, then the entire fabric of social system is wrong.

Swiss psychologist Jung advises his rich women patients to go back to the country and raise chicken, children and carrots.  The trouble with rich women patients is that they are not functioning biologically, or their biological functioning is disgracefully low-grade.

Man has not learned to live with woman, since history began.  The strange thing is that no man has lived without a woman, in spite of the fact.  No man can speak disparagingly of woman if he realizes that no one has come into this world without a mother.  From birth to death, he is surrounded by women, as mother, wife and daughters, and even if does not marry, he has still depend on his sister. “Man cannot live with a woman, nor can he live without her”.

In creating woman, God took of the beauty of the flowers, the song of the birds, the colors of the rainbow, the kiss of the breeze, the laughter of the waves, the gentleness of the lamb, the cunning of the fox, the waywardness of the clouds and the feebleness of the shower and wove them into a female being and presented her to man as his wife.  For better and for worse, they are living together on this earth as best they know how.
