Proc zeny placou
"Proc brecis?" zeptal se maly kluk mamy. "Protoze jsem zena," odpovedela
mu. "To nechapu," rekl. Jeho maminka ho objala a rekla: "Nic si z toho
nedelej, to nepochopis nikdy."
Pozdeji se chlapec zeptal otce: "Proc mama nekdy breci jenom tak?"
Jedine, co mu tata umel rict, bylo: "Vsechny zeny placou jen tak..."
Chlapec vyrostl, stal se muzem a porad ho zajimalo proc zeny placou. Nakonec
se zeptal Boha: "Boze, jaktoze se zeny tak jednoduse rozplacou?"
A Buh odpovedel: "Kdyz jsem tvoril zenu, rozhodl jsem se, ze bude necim
mimoradnym. Dal jsem ji ramena silna tak, ze unesou tihu sveta a prece paze
tak laskave, ze poskytnou pohodli. Dal jsem ji vnitrni silu, aby pretrpela
zrod ditete a to, ze mnohdy je svym vlastnim ditetem zavrzena. Dal jsem ji
tvrdost, diky ktere jde dal, pecuje o svou rodinu a sve pratele, i kdyz to uz
kazdy vzda, pres nemoci a vycerpani, bez narikani.
Dal jsem ji cit, aby za vsech okolnosti milovala sve deti, a to i kdyz ji
osklive ublizi. Ma tu zvlastni moc zpusobit, ze detske bolistky boli mene, umi
zmirnit neklid a strach z dospivani. Ma ode mne silu, aby se starala o sveho
muze navzdory jeho chybam. Byla utvorena z jeho zebra proto, aby chranila jeho
srdce. Dostala moudrost, vi, ze dobry manzel nikdy sve zene neublizi, jen
nekdy zkousi jeji silu a rozhodnuti zustat bez zavahani po jeho boku.
Kvuli vsi teto drine daroval jsem ji i slzu, ktera skane kdykoli je
potreba, nebot je to jeji jedina slabina. Kdyz uvidis zenu plakat, povez ji,
jak moc ji milujes a co pro kazdeho cini. A i kdyby pak plakala dal,
pohladils ji alespon po srdci. Ona je neco vyjimecneho!"

Why Women Cry
"Why are you crying?", a young boy asked his Mom. "Because I'm a woman", she
told him. "I don't understand", he said. His Mom just hugged him and said,
"And you never will, but that's o.k."....... Later the little boy asked his
father, "Why does Mom seem to cry for no reason?". "All women cry for no
reason", was all his Dad could say...... The little boy grew up and became
a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God and when
God got back to him, he asked "God, why do women cry so easily?" GOD
answered...... "When I made woman, I decided she had to be special. I made
her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet, made her
arms gentle enough to give comfort... I gave her the inner strength to
endure childbirth and the rejection that many times will come even from her
own children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and take
care of her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up, through
sickness and fatigue, without complaining.... I gave her the sensitivity to
love her children under any and all circumstances. Even when her child has
hurt her badly.... She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo
feel better and to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears.... I gave her
strength to care for her husband, despite faults and I fashioned her from
his rib to protect his heart.... I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband
never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to
stand beside him unfalteringly.... For all of this hard work, I also gave her
a tear to shed. It is hers to use whenever needed and it is her only
weakness... When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her, and all she
does for everyone, and even though she may still cry, you will have made her
heart feel good. She is special!"
