3/July/2011 A Page of Life

July certainly has been an eye-opener for me.  I have always known that female friends are difficult to keep. It takes patience and the willingness to ignore stupidity among the younger friends – more importantly the difficulty of dealing with jealousies and self-importance.  Maybe I am being harsh but i don’t think that I am.

Honesty is rarely appreciated.  At least not until some time in life has passed and experience rubs some of the sharp edges of judgment smooth.  For me, men and women mature at different speeds.  Young women tend to be judgmental and if they are lucky, they will learn to be less so and more accepting of humankind.  There are some who will never outgrow that.

With that in mind, I do not forgive but I am over my hurt.  The little girl will learn soon enough that life will hand some rough deals out.  People do things at times because at the moment it was the right thing to do.  Not always the best but the right thing to do.  I also hope that she passes on that knowledge to another one who blindly follows her.  The last one, she has kindness in her heart.

I had told a friend that this scenario did nothing to make me proud to be a woman.  I am not when it comes to this silliness.  At times like this, I wish I were a man. Men tend to ignore feelings and can block them out pretty well.

However, I think I would look really stupid as a man!  *wink*
