I had a day off today. TBH, I had wanted to do various things such as reading English stuff for the English studying club, but it was too hot to do them. So, even though I went to AEON with a dictionary, I just spent my time in vain there. Then, on the app clubhouse, I found some people started a discussion about the relationship between men and women, so I joined there for a while to say my opinions.
In that discussion, we shared a quote from a female French philosopher, Simone Beauvoir, which tells me how difficult it is for us to live with each other's responsibilities. Some female participants said that the men they know must be boys who still have childlike characters (literally naughty?), and I have thought this: Indeed, I am also a guy and just a boy by nature, but then how can we define to be an adult? Even if it could be possible, would we become such "mature", maybe "perfect" guys? Or, I guess it could be easier for us to try to find out how to live our lives with our childlike minds which let us have truly intimate relationships.
Certainly, I am already 49 this year and must have a certain leadership, or maybe (because I am a heterosexual guy) a certain masculine character who might be able to lead others. However, in a way, for me, the ability to stay childish enough to be loved or to be cared for by others can work as empowering our relationships stronger. However, I accept that this opinion must sound too "boyish" or "selfish" which ignores women's opinions who have to care for those boys finally.
BTW, on Discord I read that a friend of mine shared this. It is about a kid who just tried to do his homework (free writing) by using Chat-GPT completely. Oh my gosh! I accept that Chat-GPT is an ultimately useful achievement for us (even though I rarely use it), and it can help us a lot. What if that Chat-GPT (or the AI itself) had existed in my teenage? If so, how it could help my bothersome, but also surely "meaningful" homework (because, even though you may say I must be an old-fashioned guy, I still believe that those kinds of tasks in schools exist for us to see our true, practical abilities of learning something)?
