Women and their roles in myths

by Jimena De La Parra

Created on: April 16, 2009

Women in myths are just the reflection of women in world. Throughout life, lots of stories has been told; and the only common thing in all of them is that women play a very important role; to understand this, we have to know how woman was created... for me the most wonderful story is the one that says that one day God decided to create a woman, but he found that he had used all the solid materials in man and not having had more than that, so he took the roundness of the moon, the gentle curves of the waves, the accession of the tender vine, the tremulous movement of the leaves, the slenderness of the palm, the delicate tint of the flowers, the loving gaze of deer, the joy of sun and drops of tears from the clouds, the inconstancy of the wind and the loyalty of the dog, the timidity of the Dove and the vanity of pavorreal, the smoothness of the pen of a swan and the hardness of diamond, the sweetness of the dove and cruelty of the tiger, burning fire and the coldness of snow. Mix the ingredients, create the woman, and gave it to man.

After a week the man came and said: "Sir, the creature that gave me made me unhappy!, she wants my full attention, never leaves me alone, talk incessantly, cries without reason, and I come to give her back because I can not live with her!". God took woman...

One week after that, the man returned and said, "God, I am very lonely since I returned you that creature, she sang and played by my side, looked at me with tenderness, and her look was a caress, when she laughed her laughter was music, she was beautiful to the eye and soft to the touch. The creature took care and protected me when I needed it, I was sweetness, tenderness, understanding and unconditional love. Please God, give it back!, because I can not live without her!". Now you value her qualities, of course you can have it again, God said.

She was created for you, but do not forget to take care, love, respect and protect it, because otherwise, you run the risk of staying again without her...
God said it millions of years ago, but this lesson is force nowadays. Men have to know that women are not a toy to play with, women are persons like they and needs love, cares and attention.
Today lots of women that are just dating with her couples suffer physical and mental abuse, this behavior is completely reprehensible and should immediately disappear: and it depends on of all of us, men the same as women. Men must respect and give women the place they deserve; and in the other side, women must love themselves and should not allow the abuse. If you, woman, are in an unhealthy relationship, the first thing you have to do is get out of it by yourself because at the time you value yourself, that person you deserve will arrive to your life, that person who understands that "All Women in the world are women mythic"<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
