ok.. topic of the day....

i'm inspired to write this as a follow-up to my previous entry about women. as sensitive an issue as it is, i will be blunt and straight-forward.

girls and women regardless of age have all at least once been abused by an authoritative figure in their life. more often than not, this figure will tend to be male (boys, guys or men). i understand what it feels like to be disciplined and told to show respect towards the men in my life. but where do you draw the line between discipline and abuse?

why is it that girls and women become victims of abuse by the very people they trusted and care about? i agree that one should respect the men in one's life as it is them that's supposed to protect one's self. but i definitely detest men that abuse women as a way of teaching them a lesson on 'discipline'. whether physical, emotional or mental abuse, to me its just plain wrong. i don't understand how some men can bring themselves to hit their wives, girlfriends, daughters. does the word 'shame' mean anything to them?

don't get the wrong idea. i'm not being a feminist. i'm just stating my opinion on the subject at hand. not all men are like that, yes that's true. but most of them tend to be like that. its the women that suffer in silence, refusing to breathe a word of it to anyone because they don't want to bring down the family name. in other words, they feel ashamed of it. should they be? was it ever their fault? no!!! of course not.. pointing fingers won't solve anything. a beating won't solve anything either.

no matter how much i love or care about the man in my life, i refuse to tolerate if he ever laid a hand on me (as in physically hurt me). i've seen it happen to some friends of mine. yet they still tolerate it. i just can't do that. i'm grateful that it didn't happen to me but i won't think twice if it ever did.....

i read this in my email today & i thought i'd share it with everyone. listen up men, this is why you should appreciate your women more..

One Flaw In Women

by the time God made woman, He was into his sixth day of working overtime. an angel appeared and said, "Why are you spending so much time on this one?"

and God answered, "have you seen my spec sheet on her? she has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart and she will do everything with only two hands."

the angel was astounded at the requirements. "only two hands!? no way! and that's just on the standard model? that's too much work for one day. wait until tomorrow to finish.

"but I won't," God protested. "I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. she already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days."

the angel moved closer and touched the woman. "but you have made her so soft."

"she is soft," God agreed, "but I have also made her tough. you have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."

"will she be able to think?", asked the angel.

God replied, "not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate."

the angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek. "oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. i told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."

"that's not a leak," God corrected, "that's a tear!"

"what's the tear for?" the angel asked.

God said, "the tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief and her pride."

the angel was impressed. "You are a genius, God. You thought of everything! woman is truly amazing."

and she is! women have strengths that amaze men. they bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. they smile when they want to scream. they sing when they want to cry. they cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. they fight for what they believe in. they stand up to injustice. they don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. they go without so their family can have. they go to the doctor with a frightened friend. they love unconditionally. they cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. they are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. their hearts break when a friend dies. they grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. they know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. they'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. the heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. they bring joy, hope and love. they have compassion and ideals. they give moral support to their family and friends. women have vital things to say and everything to give.

however if there is one flaw in women, it is that they forget their worth..... its true isn't it?
