When a man and a woman tie the knot in
marriage, it is a coming together of two opposite personalities. A woman tends to be emotional, while a man
tends to be egoistic. These traits are a
part of their nature.
There is a positive as well as a negative
aspect to both these traits. If they are put to positive use, it will prove to
be a boon to humanity. But if they are
put to negative use, it will prove to be a bane for humanity.
The positive aspect of egoism in man is that,
it is one of the driving forces in working steadfastly for a cause. A man bereft of this quality will be weak,
lacking in will-power, and will fail to accomplish any task which requires
determination and perseverance. But the
negative aspect is that it will make him arrogant. Therefore, one must be very careful, and not
allow one’s ego to sway one towards the negative side, as this would be
counterproductive and brings one disrepute.
Similarly, a woman tends to be on the
emotional side. This trait too has its
positive as well as its negative aspects.
The positive aspects is that she tends to be more sensitive, and
therefore more gentle and compassionate, which is, without doubt, a positive
quality. But the negative aspect is that
it can give her an obstinate personality, thus making her stubborn even when a
flexible approach is necessary. If a
woman allows this aspect of her nature to go unchecked, it will be detrimental
to the wholesome development of her personality.
A man and a woman, both, ought to
understand the natural traits they are born with. They must consciously strive
to make use of their positive aspects, and sedulously refrain from taking any
negative course. The secret of success
in both men and women lies in this self-control.
