Last nite me, BFF and BFF's granddaughter took time out to go see the girls of Sex and the City 2. While watching Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte, I couldn't help but wonder how these 4 very different women became the best of friends. I know you must be thinking it's only a movie.....but these 4 characters have the strengths and weaknesses to make each individual person an integral part of each other. Of course they don't play nice with each other all the time, but they never hold grudges, which I find fascinating....
Women never bury hurt, pain, frustration, fear deep inside....they rely on each other as counselors, psychologists, etc. They talk out their problems and find solutions.
Men, however, are different....men are too 'macho' to allow other men to see their weaknesses....don't talk about what's bugging you, just go have a beer, watch some sports and pack all the pain and fear deep down inside. The end result is a big gooey tar build up around their hearts, solar plexus and throats. And when the fear gets to be too much, they vanish like a thief in the night....some even re-locate from place to place and state to state hoping to run away from their fears. This doesn't work guys....you carry your fears within you and where you go it goes.
I'm not saying that men should be more like women....not at all! Both sexes need balance to keep order in the Universe....but what I would like to see are more men who confront their fears and release them....kinda like the girls of Sex and the City.....
