Dear Christine,
May you continue to do the good job you are doing. I have a few thoughts to share with you and your readers.
I think that we women need to learn to love ourselves more and men less, because too many of us are willing to end our lives over some men.
Men are dishonest, unfaithful and not good enough for us to kill ourselves for. While the women are hurting themselves, the men are continuing with their dirty trade.
Most men today are very unfair. They run around behind every skirt they see and have affairs with three and four women at a time.
When a woman decides “I’ve had enough of your dishonesty, I’m going to leave”, they want to kill you.
What is also unfair is that when a woman has two men, she is called a prostitute or a whore. What do you call a man who has three and four women? That’s well and good because he is a man.
Women, we need to have faith in ourselves, love ourselves and live for Christ. We need to do this and forget the dirty men that are stirring today.
Goodbye Christine and God bless you.
– Anne
Dear Anne,
There is a saying that he who generalises generally lies. I do not think it is fair to put all men in the same boat, so to speak. There are fair, decent and honest men out there, so I cannot agree with your statement that “men are dishonest, unfaithful . . . and dirty”.
Let’s set the record right that that’s not true.
I would say, however, that too many of them play around with women’s emotions. Those women who are distressed and distraught from a broken relationship should give themselves time to hurt and to heal. Trust me, they will heal eventually.
It is not necessary to make the healing so permanent as to contemplate suicide. I feel also that every woman should in some way try to be independent. When women are totally dependent on some men, they are even more helpless to get out of their unhappy situations.
Work can be rewarding in many ways, in that it helps you to provide for yourself and can serve as good therapy when the break-up comes.
No woman, or man for that matter, should give up his or her life for someone who does not care for them or is unworthy of their love. I also have faith that God can see anyone through whatever situation in which they find themselves. I wish all women would believe this.
– CHRISTINE
