I have 12 years of experience as a psychotherapist and another 15 years promoting personal development for men and women, helping both genders achieve better mutual understanding and growth. Throughout this time, I have learned a lot about myself and about women. However, each woman is unique in many ways, including those related to age. Naturally, personal environment and life biography influence behavior. The more a woman cares for her inner and outer life, the stronger she becomes. Moreover, a woman who reads valuable books becomes more decisive and better nurtured internally.

Let us explore some critical facts: A woman might want a baby but lack long-term resources. Creating a baby signifies a lifelong commitment and personal journey. Furthermore, babies, children, and adolescents need nurturing, or their life opportunities become limited.

Most girls between the ages of 18 and 24 are unaware of the distinction between their inner and outer lives. At this stage, starting real life or pursuing studies shapes their interactions with the world. Consequently, a woman builds inner strength and must take responsibility for her inner self early on. By the age of 25, she should have established a strong foundation for her personal growth.

Despite new societal trends, one fact remains: A man is a man, and a woman is a woman. Alternatively, a man may wish to become a woman, and a woman may wish to become a man. However, changes to the body cannot alter its inherent wholeness. Ancient wisdom, like the concept of Yin and Yang, emphasizes the importance of balance. In relationships, there is always a complex dynamic of equilibrium. Thus, each woman embarks on her unique journey that shapes her character and inner nature. Similarly, men must also go through their own inner journey—a ritual respected for thousands of years but often forgotten today.

Both women and men can fail in life. For example, a woman must express her disapproval of wrongdoing or harmful attitudes from her partner or anyone involved. Similarly, men must confront issues such as lying, cheating, neglecting emotions, and avoiding responsibility for serious life matters.

Regarding Ukraine: Many women were called to participate in the war. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers have died to this day. Unfortunately, women appear to act passively in this context. Why didn’t they protest daily against the insanity of killing, suffering, lies, and primitive behavior?

Women must break the cycle of wars with all their strength, soul, and mind. History shows that wars originate from the elites, not the people. Therefore, society must compel these few elites to end wars and create a new age for a better world.
