The Opposite of Sex

A man is made for a woman, so they shall have kids and inhabit the earth. But is that all they are made for? Frankly, yes. But between the time a man and a woman meet and the time they fulfill the purpose for which they are created, their relationship would speak beyond the concept of unity and physical attraction. There are emotions involved, admiration, promises, sacrifices, dreams, companionship and so on. People needs someone not just to satisfy the flesh. It’s not just about having someone to display to other people. It transcends beyond the glitzy and regal wedding ceremonies. Aside from love, people needs guidance, care and happiness.

People needs companionships. Like all other relationship, there are superficial needs and there are what the hopeless romantics dream about. Having someone to talk to on boring nights, someone to dance with on the floor, someone to spend weekends in the day break, someone to cry on, someone to watch over you, someone to share with and listen to your innermost thoughts, someone to grow old with. Some say the superficial desires are just icing on the cake, the time spent dreaming together, while holding hands under the pale moonlight is the saccharine taste of the bread that substantiate the relationship.

Which should bring us to our psyche, if there are matters that engage two people more essentially than just frolicking in each other’s nakedness in bed, then, does gender really determines the right and the capacity to give genuine happiness to the opposite sex? To be happy, does a man always have to be with a woman and vice versa? To be satisfied, does it necessitate that you make love the conventional way? To make a relationship lasts, does it always require that you share your precious time with the opposite sex? To live a fruitful life, does two people always have to be married and exchanged solemn bows in witness of a priest? What does it take? Who does it take?

Love as a feeling, doesn’t require too much from anyone. Nothing dictates who to fall with or how or why. Nothing guarantees a long lasting relationship, not even if you are married to the most gorgeous woman on earth or the richest man on the planet. Happiness is not founded on conventions or straight rule; there is no rule for love and the pursuit for genuine happiness. Gender doesn’t define what would make someone contented and gratified. The hearts beat without anyone telling them to do so, same with love, it just happen between no pre-defined souls.

So who does make the noblest pair of all? No one. As long as you stay true to what you feel and that person feels the same way for you, as long as you don’t cause harm or indignation to others, as long as you enjoy being together not just as lovers but as friends, as family and as a partner, as long as you intend to keep each other for reasons beyond the three letter word, as long as you love each other then I wish you good luck and long live!
