I haven't really wrote anything "romantic" since I've joined Steemit, but since it's Valentine's day I'll make an exception - although that's as close as it's gonna get...
If you ask anyone, what's the greatest power of women, most would answer that it's her ability to give birth to new life.
I generally agree with this, but there's something more which can be a pretty close second.
Most men are generally aware of it while a lot of women are almost oblivious of it. So what is it?
I'm talking about the ability of women to act catalytically in a man's life. In some cases this can take the form of a force-multiplier, where a man capable of X, suddenly realizes he can do 10 times X - due to having the proper motivation (woman) in his life.
There are a lot of motivators in a man's life that can multiply his abilities but the effect of women is certainly among the top ones in the list - often increasing the potency of this effect.
Women might have seen or glimpsed that men might go to unimaginable lengths when in love, but they don't necessarily understand how they can be catalysts of potential and force multipliers. Besides, they aren't really required to, by nature. Their very existence ensures that their presence acts as a catalyst for these things to happen - whether they are aware of it, or not.
A man can straighten his life from chaos, achieve goals that would seem unattainable and generally do things that others would marvel at - all because of a woman in his life (or in his mind - both work).
A woman, by her very presence, and acting as a catalyst and force-multiplier, can indeed create such an effect that it can indirectly (through the force-multiplication of a man's potential) create global ripples and alter the World's history. This is not the stuff of novels and movies - it is actually happening every single day.
But this same catalytic force, can also be a catalytic force for multiplying destructive or self-destructive potential when relationships go wrong, or other type of negative events happen - especially when a man is heavily invested in a relationship - in an emotional sense.
The emotional investment of men is very important and it's precisely why men must make the right choices in their lives, while women should act responsibly while in a relationship.
Women, in effect, are indirectly "controlling" a "force of nature" and act as "amplifiers" and "directors" of this force. If they are conscious about it, it is their "duty" to act responsibly - like having a superpower would require one to act responsibly. It's like having a superpower to make one a 5-10-100x more potent version of themselves and then point them to either a creative or destructive path.
Needless to say that this increased responsibility also involves the process of separation - which is better to be smooth in order to avoid unleashing a force-multiplying effect on destructive potential.
May all men and women find the catalysts that they need in their lives in order to glimpse their own creative greatness and make their life full.
Love is indeed a powerful catalyst and it should be celebrated.
Happy Valentine's Day!
