ABSTRACT

Sometimes one may root for two people to be together because they are opposites. Which means that between them they have everything they need. The Yin and Yang. Two halves make a whole. In old movies, particularly Westerns, it looked like this: The Big Man and the Little Woman. The Big Man would clear the land, fight off bears and banditos, plow the field, build the cabin and the furniture, harvest the crops, and protect and provide for the family. The Little Woman would only have a few minor things to handle on her side of the equation: have the babies, raise them, clothe them, feed them, wash them, do the cooking. The point is that in that old-fashioned system this is how people survived. By dividing the work of life and by sharing the duties, the two of them make a life. Between the two of them they had everything they needed. They were self-sufficient and self-contained.
