Who is more forgiving??

Yesterday evening, when I was on my way home taking cab, the radio discussion was "Who is more forgiving? Men or Women?"

Quite a few called in and most of them said women are more forgiving. In what way? For their family sake, they are willing to forgive their husbands if they commit adultery. But for men, they are not so forgiving as it is an impact to their ego.

I think is quite true. Women are willing to keep quiet and stay on though their husbands had strayed, especially those with children. It is not a matter that women can't support themselves, is they do not want their children to grow up in a incomplete family. Asians are more conservative. They believe a COMPLETE family is very important.

But what is the definition of COMPLETE? Everyone stays together but no communication, does that consider COMPLETE? Isn't it meaningless to stay in a loveless marriage? Alot people commented children grow up in a broken family will stray but I saw some children growing in a complete family also strayed so this is not a valid reason. I think this is more on self-disciplined, and the choices you make. You have the CHOICE to become a GOOD or a BAD person.

Therefore, we must teach the correct moral values to our children in order to let them choose the correct path. With the correct moral values, I'm sure the children will know which path is good for them.

Back to the topic, I think women should still think for themselves too. There will be a time when the children will leave to build their own family. When the time comes, they will be alone.

I think I am a forgiving person but definitely will never forget. That's ME! :)
