Here is a good phrase too, “I’ll take care of me for you, will you please take care of you for me ?” So the first challenge in life is to take of yourself, it is to survive. So to produce enough to survive to take care of your self.
But what’s next? Well all alone it’s a lonely life. So let’s see the man now choose a partner. Now he must figure out how to produce enough for himself and his spouse, his wife. Someone says “why do that? why not just take care of yourself”? And the answer is “it’s a very small life, it’s a very limited life”. We wouldn’t call flourishing, we wouldn’t call it abundance just taking care of your self, that is the first rule, but that’s only the beginning.
So the man get married, now he must produce enough for himself and for his wife. And here the key phrase “To live the higher life”. A life of togetherness. The story teller says, “It seems even God didn’t want to be alone, He create all of this angels.” So to join with someone now you must produce enough for your self for your partner. Now is that it? No!
How about children? That a unique experiences. So now the man has a wife and now he has children, here the challenges, to produce enough for himself and his family. Now someone says “why take on all of that, why not just take care of your self?” You could, yes.. But you couldn’t live this more extraordinary life without taking on the RESPONSIBILITIES of having a partner, having some children and live that kind of extraordinary life. So I think everybody would agree. Is that the end of it?
