What is it women do in men require?
The lineaments of Gratified Desire.
Lineaments – a distinctive feature or characteristic, especially of the face.
Gratified – give (someone) pleasure or satisfaction.
Desire – strongly wish for or want (something).
Meaning – Both men and women yearn for (desire for ) physical appeal – sensually pleasurable experience from the opposite sex.
Till today we more or less have the same desire – both men and women.
In spite of hour long debates worldwide on ‘Beauty is only skin deep’ – meaning the personality of a person – eg. his kindness, helpful or benevolent nature – is more important than his looks, still we see majority of people are drawn towards a ‘good’ looking person – he or she may be blatantly ruining or massacring values or morals of a Country!
It is for this nature of humans (that William Blake had written in the 18th century) that we are unable to see any worthwhile progress – esp. to uplift the entire human mass and reach a better socially evolved stage.
