I have somehow sparked a debate in gender and romance in a greater part of the Western world. It started with the princess, and it seems to have spread to all the princesses of Hollywood and beyond.
Princesses are princesses I guess.
I know it from my days as a dancer. Princesses are princesses, they dream of the knight on the white horse, and to be honest, that is good.
The ideal of the knight, the selfsacrifising warrior who protects the weak. Loving one of those is not a bad thing at all.
Yet, being a princess is a lot more than a pretty smile, it’s a life of virtue, and being a mirror of the knight with the shining armor.
You do not get true and deep love, unless you have a certain array of qualities yourself.
In these days of gender discussion and a lot of trenchwarfare, these qualities are quite rare in both man and woman. So a lot of women go about looking for the knight, and yet never finds him. Why? Becuase they can only attract a true knight, if they are a true princess.
Now, dont get me wrong, I am not against modern values. I have myself fought a long fight to protect women. I was a part of making a vast array of laws to protect women against harassment and rape in the night life.
My point is, if you look too long at the fight, that is all that you get. You HAVE to foster the good values and virtues of a princess to ALSO find the prince.
It is a balance. At one end, we have to protect things that has to do with gender. Men are also weak in some areas, especially when it comes to divorce and children.
These fights are for the men to take. I support this as well.
Yet at the middle of these fights is the healthy, good and happy marriage with a chosen in your life.
That comes about, if you are ready for it, and can handle the challenges that comes about with this.
If we become and nurture our inner prince and princess chances are, that we get at happy life.
G-d bless the will to do good in this world, and find a chosen for each of us.
