Men appreciate their own kind in accordance with what he has done, objectively, guided by accepted standards. But some of its properties, in particular properties related directly to life, may only be interested in a woman; it can be courageous, charismatic, successful, tender, cruel only in relation to it: and if he appreciates those not-so-obvious qualities, his need for a woman becomes the absolute; through her he learns of a miracle to see myself as Other - Other, which at the same time, his deepest "I".

Unless the woman of the harem are not happier some voters? Unless the housewife is not happier workers? Not quite clear what the word "happiness" and especially what the true value it provides. There is no way to measure the happiness of another person, but always easy to declare a happy situation, they want to impose on him: doomed to stagnation stagnation, in particular, declare happy on the pretext that happiness is immobility.
