Tears...

Tears...

Around 8 years back a good friend of mine from the fairer gender advised me "Tears are women's most powerful weapon, you cannot ignore it, you cannot rationalize it, you cannot fight it....you guys are clueless. If you value your sanity of mind just shut the **** up when a woman cries there is nothing else you can do - the more you talk more the tears ...."

Since the advice there i have been in fortunate (or unfortunate depending on whether you are half glass full or empty) to witness the out pour. Let me give an example 

A handicapped man with only his right hand went to a martial arts master and asked "Master, teach me kungfu!" the master taught him only one move and asked him to practice it regularly. After a few months of practice the disciple asked the master "I think i have perfected the move master, are there any other moves i should learn now." The master said, "This move should help you win in all situations, because the counter for this move is that you should have a left hand." 

So men (from mars) go from problem to solution and women (from venus) dont want the solution or rationale, they just want to wail over the problem and over a period of time adjust to the problem and keep nagging over it at intermittent intervals for the rest of your lives!!! 

But the problem with keeping quite is an other issue as well - we are then perceived as insensitive louts!!! 

Silence is truly golden, isn't it?

cheers
