It's the image of the Zen Monk as the Avatar easily destroying the Armored Evil Dragon.
Properly balanced they produce radiant divinity. They become the light we walk towards. Our north star. Broken families are formed when we follow the external surface behavior, but forget to tend to the fire and lose the light.

Nowadays the family unit in an abundant modern society isn't necessary. You don't have to produce a Divine Child, as proof of the Radiancy of the Family.

It is however what most of our existing traditions bolster and support. You can't attack that base without showing that you can consistently and reliably produce Light at the same quantity and scale.

While YOU as an individual may be able to find love and fulfillment through Work or through a Non Traditional Partnership, people in other cultures may not. They might find you weird in fact, disgusting even.

It's probably somewhat true that a system that allows more varieties of Light is more advanced and developed it fails to see that development takes time. (Not to mention historical reasons why differences in development stages have occurred & been perpetuated.)

The Masculine guards the stolen flame from the wrath and chaos of the gods. It must protect, but it must also tend that flame. If it forgets, it dooms both itself and the Feminine to darkness.

The feminine tends more easily to depression when the systemic pressure is to be more masculine. There is a higher metabolic requirement for Feeling. This desire can feel gluttonous and greedy to the masculine.

While the masculine strives for understanding and control, the feminine strives to give off the most light with the least resources. Creativity is a feminine energy and can only be showcased in situations of scarcity.

Big companies are not creative not because of lack of the right people but because of excess abundance. They can generate fake scarcity (e.g. experimental spinout companies) but watching Game of Thrones is not the same as experiencing real rape and murder.

Explore leads, create follows. Startups and falling in love balance these two forces in explosive fashions. This is creation at the cutting edge of our universe. This is the gritty life at the frontier with the potential to strike Gold. It is the ability to make a home anywhere.

Home is where the Heart/Light is. It finds Gold because it doesn't need it, it's looking for something more. That's why we're here, we want more. Ego is sin itself when it is interpreted as Greed.

The be Divine you must be able to answer truthfully to "Why do you deserve more?" with "Because I'll appreciate it." You can tell from the light in their eyes when someone really does. That's why we're willing to spend so much on the ones we love like our children.

We want to see that light in their eyes... We've just forgotten what they saw...
