Be honest, did you see the words love and hate embedded in the picture above?
"People who are always in love and never hate, never get angry, you will always find superficial -- because if you don't move to the opposite, from where will you gain depth? Depth comes through a movement to the opposite. Love is hate. In fact, we should not use the words love and hate, we should use a single word: lovehate. A love relationship is a lovehate relationship -- and it is beautiful! Nothing is wrong in hate, because it is through hate that you gain love. Nothing is wrong in being angry, because it is through anger that you come to a silent stillness.Through the opposite, through the tension of the opposite, everything lives -- and becomes deeper. Go away so that you can come near; move to the opposite so that you can come closer again." Osho
No worries…if you did not see the words love and hate, take a deep satisfying breath…and take the simple eye examination below.
And here is an eye exam for the men to see if they can see how beautiful their beloveds are.
"I am introducing a totally new vision, that men and women together in deep friendship, in a loving, meditative relationship, as organic wholes, can reach the goal any moment they want. Because the goal is not outside you; it is the center of the cyclone, it is the innermost part of your being. But you can find it only when you are whole, and you cannot be whole without the other.
Man and woman are two parts of one whole. So rather than wasting time in fighting, try to understand each other. Try to put yourself in the place of the other; try to see as a man sees, try to see as a woman sees. And four eyes are always better than two eyes - you have a full view; all four directions are available to you. But one thing has to be remembered: that without meditation, love is destined to fail; there is no possibility of its being a success." Osho
And a question for my women friends…are you not waiting for the perfect man?
And before you guys die laughing <and alone>, is it not true that you have reduced love to a mathematical equation?
“The female mind has a grace, the male mind has efficiency. and of course, in the long run, if there is a constant fight, the grace is bound to be defeated - the efficient mind will win. because the world understands the language of mathematics not of love. But the moment your efficiency wins over your grace, you have lost something tremendously valuable: you have lost contact with your own being.” Osho
In truth, numbers do not always add up.
ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
This cartoon in the New Yorker Magazine simply sums up the marriage dilemma.
"Particularly men and women don't agree because they have different minds, they have totally different attitudes about things. They function from different centers. So it is absolutely natural that they don't agree easily, but nothing is wrong with it. And when you accept a person and you love a person, you also love his or her disagreements. You don't start fighting, you don't start manipulating; you try to understand the other's point of view. And even if you cannot agree, you can agree to disagree." Osho
Lovehate is, Krishna Prem
Ps… This is AMAZING! Until now I never fully understood how to tell the difference between male and female birds. I always thought it had to be determined surgically...until now. Below are two birds. Study them closely... See if you can spot which of the two is the female. It can be done. Even by one with limited bird watching skills.
