It expresses the man’s point of view towards the female who always wants to be the complementary part to him. No man is complete without the beauty of that part. The true female, which I talked about in the book, is the one who is everything to the man - she may or may not be, and the female must have complete faith. That she is a real female, with her own characteristics that distinguish her from others, and that the man should not have an opponent or rival because she will distance herself from him and lose him. The man is not like the female. The beauty and strength of each gender is in its qualities and the characteristics it carries that the other party needs. The man, despite his strength and power, seeks a female to embrace him. And she eases it, and when a female finds a man next to her, she is like a fierce lion in her strength, steadfastness, and self-confidence. The man and the female... are two sides of the same coin whose title is - life - (checkmate). O heart, if you do not find someone to complete you.
