I was talking to a friend today and in the course of the conversation, I happened to make the following comment:
"Women love men as much in their weakest moments as in their strongest"
Is that really true? I know I may sound like I am right out of a Sex and the City episode, but it sure made me think. Are we brought up in such a way that as we trudge along life, we are scared to face the ones we love in their weaker moments? Not because we can't handle them, but simply because if someone close to us feels weak, it makes us weak as well. Vulnerable. Incapable of providing help to them when they really need it.
We live with the idea that those who we look up to should always have the broadest shoulders. And if those shoulders are stretched out for a longing hug, we simply oblige. Never stopping to think for one moment that they could be indeed crying out for help.
I think it boils down to this. We, as women, would love no matter what. Be it strong, weak, happy, sad, crazy, wonderful, exotic or simple. But we don't want to think of anyone we love as being weak, because it breaks our conviction to stay strong.
Personally, I think a man who cries is the strongest of all...and I would be weak with him anyday...
