Ninety-five percent sure I'll be going back to jersey to serve out my third and final co-op. That was the highlight of my day finding out that piece of good news. Other then that just class and stuff.
Why are females such emotional and passionate creatures? I don't understand. Alright, for example, say this guy got a tattoo of a dragon that he always wanted. Well, these people came up to him one day and was like, "man, I know you can't do anything about it anymore, but it's freakin weird lookin. Shit, I dare say it's ugly!" The guy would probably shrug and go, "whatever, it's your opinion, cuz I like it. Or else I wouldn't have gotten it in the first place."
The female on the other hand would probably flip out and start crying or something. Now they know people actually don't like it! What is she going to do? She can't remove it and now she can't help but think that everyone in the world hates her tattoo! Her life is ruined!
This all started when some people said some stuff to Hanna today about her friends (this is me being as vague as possible). She got really angry and I couldn't help but notice the difference in gender reactions. Of course, from my male perspective, it was a futile comment that had little significance to any preconceptions of reality tossed forth in a meager attempt to create humor.
To Hanna, it must have been taken as a personal attack on her person as her sense of duty and community to her friends kicked in. The words expressed were not needed, over excessive, and threaded with cruelty. Her immediate response was a blinding emotional rage masked in short sighted justification of matters.
I don't understand the female reaction though. To me, to my third party objective logic, it seems that 1) The comments made were said in casual conversation to individuals that the people trusted enough to share their OPINIONS with. 2) The comments made were said in a joking manner, and even if they were true and just masked in a joking manner 3) the people who said it probably do not have the balls to say it to the group's face.
Though, this is not to say that the female reaction was necessarily wrong. The offending persons should not be dismissed without blame. As with my tattoo example stated above, who is to say that the person even had a right in the first place to throw his opinion out at the tattoo's owner? I did not state that the guy was actively seeking feedback on his tattoo, so therefore, imposing opinions is not necessary and sometimes just downright rude.
Welp, there is no right answer to this philosophical pondering. There is only opinions and sides to choose from. Point of view and personal experience will ultimately be the final judge when deciding on the 'rights' and 'wrongs' of the situation.
