To be serious, a lot of guys have a problem of really not knowing how to react around women probably because of the TV they’ve seen or the media and what it portrays, or they’re just a nerdy engineer, programming, entrepreneuring, head-down, elbows-up get-stuff-done kind of guy like me.
I’m married now, so I’ve been schooled and understand a little bit more, but point being, it’s pretty tough to think properly about people, especially of the female nature, because of everything I’ve seen. They’re always portrayed as very beautiful and very attractive figures, and it isn’t until within the last decade or two that we wised up and we said, “You know what? They’re people too. Very intelligent, very capable. Start showing some respect.” That’s what we need to do.
While going through the hundreds of books that I read in the past couple of years, I of course have some faith in religion related. I forget which one it was, but it had a little tip about thinking chastely about the opposite sex. I guess this would work for women too, but I’m a man, so I’m thinking from the woman’s perspective for me anyway.
It was saying treat women that are about the same age or older, or think of them, like they were your mother, i.e. respectful, and that platonic, “Hey, you did a lot for me, and I should really respect everything you’ve done as my mother.” Treat the younger ones and the kids as if they were your sister, as in someone you’re interested in taking care of, not in an overprotective they-can’t-help-themself way, but as in you’re really interested in treating them like respectful human beings and helping them grow up to be positive contributors to society.
It’s this treating them like people that you unconditionally love, that agape love, that strong, I would say nonsexual, platonic, good, wholesome love that you with practice crowd out all that other mess that society tries to portray.
Give it a shot, and start treating people with more respect, especially if you have a hard time keeping chastity in mind and raunchiness out of mind. I know, sometimes it happens. You don’t need to say no. You made it this far in the video, OK?
Give it a shot. We all could use a little bit more respect and love in the world. I am being very serious. It’s an important thing to do. Thanks for watching. I hope you give it a shot. Peace out.
