Getting worked up - Why ?

The times we live in are indeed confusing. Stress, Pressure and depression that were previously commonplace  terminologies in hospitals, therapy sessions and psychology textbooks have become household words. If this is any indicator of the pace of our times or the general deterioration of the quality of lives that we lead is something that is thoroughly debatable.  

 

I happened to come across a survey that claimed that a staggering 87% of Indian women feel stressed out most of time and that certainly bummed me out to begin with for I feel we have been blessed with the most beautiful mothers, sisters, gal pals and wives. I mean imagine our lives without them -

1. We would certainly have dirty dishes, stinking laundry and a house that looks like a its been hit by a tornado every single day of the year.

2. We would have nothing to eat in the fridge and still be stinking be stinking with body odor.

3. We would still be fighting wars which began for no apparent rhyme or reason -  picture anything ranging from not being given a slot on the playstation to who should shower first or rather should we shower at all.

4. Kids would inevitably become psychopaths, drug addicts and serial killers by the time they reach their teens.

5. Homosexuality would most definitely be a thing.       

Lets just say without women and their influence, the world would indeed be a terrible place to live in. This responsibility alone is stressful and could bum any human being out. That said, I reckon the ladies could learn a thing or two from men on how to counter being stressed out. 

Here's the 'Atrocious' take on Why men are never depressed?

Men are just simple and happier beings. Food, beer and cars is all it takes to make us your buddy, sometimes even a dude or a bro. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich 10 minutes before lunch does not count as an appetizer, it is merely a signal to let the stomach know that more food is coming its way and importantly chocolate is just another snack.    

For starters, we don't ask you if we look fat in the red hoodie or the blue one or don't have to worry about wearing a white T-shirt to a water park because its perfectly ok to go topless to a water park. We also don't care how our legs look like when we wear shorts and our wedding tuxedo rent costs about 10% of your dress. Our inner wear hardly costs anything, lasts long and most definitely doesn't have strap problems and importantly people don't stare at our chests when we talk to them.

We can easily sport a completely bald, partially bald or an obnoxious hairstyle without as much as a squeak; heck we even have the same hairstyle for decades and graying or wrinkles adds to our charm. Everything on our faces stays in the same shape and color, we only have to shave our faces and also have a say on whether or not we should sport a mustache.

If someone forgets to invite us he/she can still be a friend and a small act of thoughtfulness reaps us great rewards. One pair of denims and shoes which never cut, blister or mangle our feet are more than sufficient for a five day vacation. We don't need directions - both on the road as well as how to tighten a screw and vehicle mechanics always tell us the truth.

We are totally allowed to play with toys, games and pranks all our lives. Our phone conversations last upto a minute under extreme circumstances and the whole world is a urinal. We have a single and perennial mood all our lives and can do wedding shopping for 25 relatives in 25 minutes. 

PS: I fully well know its a sexist post so hardcore feminists are allowed to have a hard on, not that I would care.
