Experiencing Interruptions?

Dinner

By knowing oneself, a person knows the whole world. Refusal of self-knowledge distances a person from God. What does a woman seek in a man's world? What passionate and vague dreams control her? The painful search for the Ideal in an imperfect world is realized by a love triangle. While men measure their strength in the fight for a woman, her subconscious has already equalized them in weakness, because next to her Ideal, they are both just insignificant shadows. Perhaps the reason for the collapse is the very existence of an abstract Ideal, which inevitably gives rise to a comparative analysis of the surrounding men, and, as a result, the impossibility of choice. The happiness of motherhood for this woman lies in the absence of a reason for comparison, because the child is certainly pure and beautiful. But whose child is this? Hers and his, but who is he? A woman is unlikely to be concerned with this issue, because until the Ideal is met, the chain of meetings and partings can only be broken by weak baby fingers, the squeak of a son is a reason to forget the father and others, and return to the world of women.
