I was going to let this song speak for itself but I feel that it is appropriate to share a brief exchange that I had about it:
G: I'm tired of men giving advice to women. Basically they are saying, we will take advantage of you if you let us. How about men use some discretion and don't take advantage?
Me: Interesting idea. However, we are responsible for our own actions. We cannot dictate what anyone else does. As nice as it would be for men to actually be nice guys who do the right thing, we have to do our part to not have the bad things done to us, even if we do mess up from time to time.
yeah, taking advantage goes both way, except maybe for the first time. after that it's like "how many times do you need for this to happen to you or to know another person's story before you take better care of yourself?" something like that.
ReplyDeleteI agree. However, we don't always think clearly when we're caught up. Every now and then, it's nice to have a reminder (a song, a book, somebody else's story, or whatever)that makes us aware of what we're doing and of what we should and should not accept.
