Women And Compassion

[LaReina]

I was not going to respond to your recent post, and the fact that you used the term “possibility”, made what you wrote less harsh (If I may say so).

However, there are quite a few differences between men in general and women, especially depending on the country you were raised in.

Women tend to be more compassionate, caring, worried, and willing to get themselves into a predicament if they think for one moment, that what they are doing can help another human being or life form.

Men (fathers, husbands, boy friends) tend to be more distant, less compassionate, and with the exception of going to war, less willing to get involved in affairs which they feel are none of their business, and tend to advice the females in their lives to do the same.

“One of the most telling characteristics of those with emotional or substance abuse problems is that there is a desire to help others in perceived similar situations. The outreach is not motivated by true altruism, but is a means by which those with the problems can help themselves. Often, problems can be unintentionally exaggerated or embellished to facilitate the need for intervention.”

Substance abusers.. sure.. they see weird things anyway. But to lump domestic violence with substance abusers is wrong.

For a person to admit that they have been the victim of domestic violence is a big step, and only a person who has been in such a situation is fully capable of helping another individual who is currently in that situation as they KNOW the mind games that kept them in their situation.
