The Womb of All Creation

In the human culture, regardless of its regional or temporal back-
ground, as it's the case with every other creature, the need of a part-
ner is rooted in the biological need to reproduce. Yet, as the human
system evolved, this need received deeper and more complex mean-
ings, surpassing by far the mere biological reason.

In the modern world, the need of a partner translates into many oth-
er secondary needs, with most of them being shared by everyone:
the need to be appreciated, the need to be supported, the need to
be understood etc. With the birth of this multitude of expressions
and needs, came huge stress and discomfort. Simply because from
the original need, pertaining solely to the sexual dimension, sprung
many other needs, pertaining to the psychological and emotional
dimensions, all at once screaming for attention. It wasn't long before
a new kind of expressions surfaced the popular culture: "love hurts",
"love is a promise delivered already broken", or even: "my wife and I
were happy for twenty years, then we met".

Caught up in all this rubble, love got confused with trouble. There-
fore, a new set of questions arose, giving an incredibly hard time to
nearly everyone on the planet:

"How can one set apart the real from the fake?"

"How can one know if what he or she experiences is true love or
not?"
