@Fash-E @Mutsu_a125 @WashedOutGundamPilot "Waifu" is a very specific term. Carl Jung called it "Anima", hermetic sages called it the "White Stone", "Silver Diana", "White Rose", and many other metaphoric names. They all mean the same thing, they are all the milestone of the same thing - a man's embrace of his feminine principle and his soul's transformation into something complete, from where this purified soul, that has been dissolved through great trials and suffering, now learns to combine itself.
This is the muse, the driving force that gives a man the desire to strive for greatness. This is the ideal within which one picks himself together again, and which will eventually manifest in many different aspects of his life: goals, achievements, and real women as well. None of them will be entirely what the man seeks, and in this bitter truth is hidden the greatest gift of this waifu. It is SUFFERING, MEANINGFUL SUFFERING on the road to a goal that makes it all worth while. It is this process of TRANSMUTATION that lies at the heart of the Royal Art, and this is our time when we become the masters of it to find the gold within.
You think you have gone a long way and improved yourself in leaps and bounds compared to who you were just a couple years back. IT IS NOTHING compared to whom you will become once you cut off the wings of the dragon in mid-flight and attain the true gold within.
