The Crying Woman

Today I saw two women crying in front of their men. Both men tried pacifying their women using logic to explain their point while women sobbed and poured their heart out. It reminded me of the cliché that women use tears as their ultimate weapon in a discussion. But I was wondering is it really a weapon or is it just that, women put so much of heart and emotion in their men that tears just roll out.

She was crying and painfully trying to tell why it is difficult to live with him but it’s also not possible for her to live without him. He, on the other hand, was using all the logic in the world to explain why it’s not working and staying apart is a good decision. At first it seems that she is the weaker one but look closely and you find that she is the brave one ready to face the situation, while he was using rationale to bypass and avoid it. But, Emotional Beings as they are, women succumb to the logical reasoning of men only because she loves him. She loves him so much that in spite of knowing the pattern of his actions she is ready to forgive him, one more time and give it a try, one more time.

Is logic always the right way of understanding and solving situations? Should we try being emotional, just once, to understand the situation and deal with it? It would probably be easier for a woman to be rational and logical in analysing the situation however, it may not be easy for a man to comprehend and evaluate emotions. “The Woman” might take less time to understand the logic of staying apart as a solution; but “The Man” will probably spend a longer time thinking and chain smoking to get over the pain and the void that her absence has created, now wondering, if it was the right thing to do.

We may never know if we should take the logical or the emotional way of understanding and resolving our situations, but if our hearts are together, so should our lives be.
