The Woman Who Gives by Receiving, The Man Who Receives by Giving

A magnet, no matter how solid it may seem now, will eventually decay and disappear. Everything, including magnets, must break apart over time. Why must this happen? Just as Gapdoli and Eulsuni appear calm on the surface but continuously interact, overturning each other, they strive to shed their current states. Everything in existence grows weary of itself and seeks to discard its burdens, creating the dynamic interplay of the universe.

Gapdoli and Eulsuni are similar yet fundamentally different. Men and women both carry positive (plus) and negative (minus) qualities within themselves. However, in men, the positive quality takes precedence, while in women, the negative quality is more dominant. These labels of “plus” and “minus” are, of course, symbolic representations.

For men, the act of taking is not direct; they give in order to take. When a man meets a woman for the first time, he doesn’t simply say, “I like you,” and embrace her. If he did, women would scream and report him to the police. Instead, he offers something, perhaps by saying, “Would you like to have a cup of coffee?” In doing so, he takes by giving. On the other hand, women operate differently. They allow themselves to receive and, in doing so, ultimately give. When a woman accepts the coffee, she is not merely taking the drink but also giving herself. Yet, she often believes, “I didn’t give anything.”

Women, too, experience a need to grasp or hold onto something. If this need is unmet, the resulting frustration often manifests outwardly. At first, they may shower their husbands with praise, calling them “noble and heavenly,” but when their desires remain unfulfilled, this pent-up energy is released. This release often takes the form of what is colloquially known as “nagging.” Men give in order to take, while women take in order to hold.

This interplay of giving and receiving forms the foundation of relationships, driven by the complementary energies inherent in men and women. Understanding this dynamic reveals the deeper forces at play within human connections.

“True harmony in relationships arises when we understand the natural balance of giving and receiving between masculine and feminine energies.”

By recognizing these patterns, we can navigate relationships with greater awareness, embracing the strengths and unique qualities of both partners. The key lies in understanding and respecting the inherent dynamics of giving and receiving.
