Life on Venus
Is this what we´re going to learn in school? How Life is on Venus? No of course not, this is just taken from the book "Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars" and I find it interesting and fun. I think some of the things they mention really is true, and other not!
Venusians have different values. They value love, communication, beauty, and relationships. They spend a lot of time supporting, helping, and nurturing one another. Their sense of self defined through their feelings and the quality of their relationships. They experience fulfilment through sharing and relating.
Everything on Venus reflects these values. Rather than building highways and tall building, the Venusians are more concerned with living in harmony, community, and loving cooperation. Relationships are more important than work and technology. In most ways their world is the opposite of Mars.
They do not wear uniforms like Martians (to reveal their competence). On the contrary, they enjoy wearing a different outfit every day, according t hob they are feeling. Personal expression, especially of feelings, is very important. They may even change outfits several times a day as their mood changes (typical me).
Communication is of primary importance. To share their personal feelings is much more important than achieving goals and success. Talking and relating to one another is a source of tremendous fulfilment.
This is hard for a man to comprehend. He can come close to understanding a woman´s experience of sharing and relating by comparing it to the satisfaction he feels when he wins a race, achieves a goal, or solve a problem.
Instead of being goal oriented, women are relationship oriented: they are more concerned with expressing their goodness, love, and caring. Two Martians go to lunch to discuss a project or business goal: they have a problem to solve. In addition, Martians view going to a restaurant as an efficient way to approach food: no shopping, no cooking, an no washing dishes. For Venusians, going to lunch is an opportunity to nurture a relationship, for both giving support to and receiving support from a friend. Women´s restaurant talk can be very open and intimate, almost like the dialogue that occurs between therapist and patient.
On Venus, everyone studies psychology and has at least a master´s degree in counseling. They are very involved in personal growth. Venus is covered with parks, organic gardens, shopping centers and restaurants.
Venusians are very intuitive. They have developed this ability through centuries of anticipating the needs of others. They pride themselves in being considerate of the needs and feelings of other. A sign of great love is offer help and assistance to another Venusians without being asked.
