This blog is going to be a touchy subject for some. Mostly the men. Even though I am the mother of three amazing men, I know how ego plays a strong part in a closed mind. Some men prefer to believe that they are superior in everything and close their mind and ears to anything suggesting otherwise. They feel attacked and automatically defend themselves against something they refuse to listen to.
Whereas women, listen and watch. They take note of reactions such as facial expressions, any tension shown on any part of the body, tone of voice, and how anything presented to them makes them feel. A woman knows that words are just words. They pay attention to actions. Then they form their own beliefs. A man can be violent and shout at them inches from their face, and yet a woman sees beyond what is shown to them. They watch for the quiver of a lip, or a tear forming in the corner of an eye. They see what the heart feels, despite the anger shown to them. Women believe in better. They choose to see beyond what is shown to them and I believe in my heart that a woman is the closest thing to divine intervention. A woman can save a man. She has the power to stay. She has the power to forgive. She has the power to keep starting over. She has the power to adapt or to change her surroundings. And this, in the end, is the reason for her downfall. This is the reason her needs come last. This is the reason she puts her dream on the back burner. This is the reason she gets abused. This is the reason she endures heartache after heartache. She believes in better.
A man believes what is shown to him, whereas a woman believes in things unseen. She has faith that things will change if she puts in the time and effort. She takes a problem and carries it upon her shoulders, and it becomes her problem too. She joins in the fight and spends all her available time in finding the answers needed in solving the problem at hand. She is resilient. She wears her coat of armor in the form of love. If she has love in her heart, she will never be knocked down. She will get back up and start over. A woman’s love is her strongest weapon. But when it’s gone, you will no longer find a flicker of light in the darkness.
When men continually attack a woman’s armor, or love, they are oblivious to the outcome. They have no way of seeing the darkness of the days ahead. It may take years, but if continued, it will happen. Because a woman believes in better. She will fight for as long as her body and mind can endure, and when she is done, she will move on. She will seek change. She will seek peace. She will seek comfort. She will seek freedom. And she will find it either in herself, or in another heart she faithfully places her trust in. So tread lightly my friends. No man will ever be the end of any woman. For you do not hold the power.
