She walks up to me, 'I hate men!' she says. "I know God is great and all,but men are just creatures I wish He'd take back!', she yelled.
My heart goes out to her and i feel her pains. I,for one,also think men do more harm than good,but I couldn't tell her that; what kind of friend would i be?
I patted her back and handed her a box of tissue,so that she could wipe the ever-flowing tears,i took a deep breath and gently began.
"I know how you feel sugar,honestly but try to look at it this way, it worked for sister, someone's gotta do all things you(girls) can't" Lift the luggage and sometimes,get you those expensive stuff you want,but can't afford. Someone's gotta make your heart tingle with words and praises even though they ain't true,get you to tell stuff you wouldn't tell your best girl,give you the guts to take a stand. Someone's gotta make endless promises that he can't keep so that you would have the chance to know how broken Jesus' heart was, make mistakes so that you could feel perfect. Someone's gotta be the fool while you act up,feel like the boss when you know he's not,get on one knee and say the magic words so that you too will know the joy of motherhood...".
"Hey! Wait a minute....." my mind seemed to wonder, It wouldn't have been the same at all without men. There would be no Mr. President,Michael Jordan or Nelson Mandella. Heck! Would there have been Jesus if there were no men?.
A world of ladies,full of girly stuff omg! what a disaster! I know you(girls) can do all that they (guys) can in a better way indeed but frankly,things would never have been the same!" She (my bestfriend)seemed to be laughing now and I wondered,"What did i say?" She gave me a warm hug; 'Kay, you rock!',she said, "I'm gonna pretend this never happened and work it out", she finished, letting out a girly giggle.
She took off, still laughing and I thought, "Good for you girl,that's the spirit!"
Well,she's been married a year now and surprisingly,she forgot to send me an invitation plus moved abroad without telling me. I got her number today,gave her a call to express my bitterness and you'd be amazed at what she said.
'Forgive me,darling! I truly am sorry. He's such a handful and I often forget that he's not the only one existing...'
Can you beat that? And i thought she hated men...?
Anyway if you want good things in life,it's going to have to hurt at some point,but trust me it's always worth it at the end! You'll see.
Thank you for reading.
