Serendipity plays a bigger part in our lives than we might imagine. It has been a while coming, but serendipity brings me to this point: women are stronger than men. It's the truth, and I have yet to see it so beautifully put.
It's the flight syndrome, she continued. We've always been told that the male creature is so much stronger than the female. That it is men who seek conflict and struggle. Yet women are so much stronger. When it comes to clashes of emotion, to conflicts of the heart, men run like dogs. It's true. Just look around, at some men. Look at their eyes. A woman's eyes are naturally open and frank, emotive and fragile. Men live their lives a few inches behind their eyes, hiding behind them, keeping themselves out of any real danger. They look at the world as if through a mask.*
Right or wrong?
It's what I hinted at here.
