Everyone wants to be strong for whatever reasons, but there is something they don't see, sometimes, being strong gets you nowhere.

Last night, a little fiasco happened in the place I work part-time. I had a row with one of my co-workers. Well, I don't want to cast myself as the complete innocent party here, it takes two to tango. Just put it this way: it was one of those silly fights where there is no right or wrong.

It was not a big deal, but somehow people made it a rather big fuss over a nothing, like they always do. When they starting ask what's going on, that silly cow just burst into tears. Oh, hooray for her! Whatever had happened didn't matter no more, the only thing that counted was 'I MADE HER CRY!?' Case closed! Then I got those "See-what-you've-done" looks from face to face.

I was lost for words for a moment there, I thought maybe I should start crying too, then I thought better of it, at this stage, that would only been taken as the tears of guilt, not wise!

"I am sorry for making you cry(not meaning it), but other than that, I have nothing to apologize for!" She won! I finally said the 'S' word and yes, it did hurt to say.

When at last I was being asked: "Are YOU alright?'

"NO, I am not, I am far from alright, so she shed a few tears, does that mean I was in the wrong? Just because I don't cry in front of others, I keep that to myself, so people thought I was strong, and what happens? They could hurt me and feel less guilty, "She is a tough gal, she will get over it!" That's what happens! How thoughtful, very logical! Everyone has his/her vulnerable side; it's just a difference of showing it or concealing it. Pain is pain; it doesn't become less painful for the people who are stronger!"

That's what I really wanted to say, but I didn't say it,because common sense is the only thing that you just can not teach, so why bother? Instead, I smiled my little phoney smile and said "Sure, couldn't be better!"
