Hi,

In my book, Men Made Easy, I talk about women being ugly. That means being mean-spirited, nagging, putting people down, especially the children and husband/boyfriend. Basically, behaving in anything but a gracious way. Feminine Grace is what should replace ugliness if women are going to be able to create happy, love-filled, successfully enduring relatiionships. Well, it seemed that it isn’t fair to only have Ugly Women Awards for women who show their most unattractive sides.

For me first Ugly Men Award I offer it to a certain type of man in general, those who go to war against their fellow man because of hatred, narrow-mindedness, ego, need for power and an unwillingness to try to resolve problems/issues in “gracious”, non-violent ways. I won’t name names or situations but I think some of the things that are happening in the world today make it pretty obvious why I am offering this generic award right now.

I’ve never understood why violence has to be the answer. I guess because I err on the side of being TOO nice, as my ex-husband used to accuse me. And he did not mean it as a compliment. I’ve always thought that a great way for our political and religous leaders who have differences to solve their problems would be for them to remove all their clothes except for their underwear and sit in a room together until the problem gets solved. Who can be intimidated by a man in his underwear? Who can bully in their underwear? But, alas, no one has asked me how to solve the worlds enormous problems so I guess the men who run the world will keep their clothes on and continue to beat up on each other.

I pray every night for those people who get caught in the midst of wars and skirmishes that they did not invite. I pray for the safety of their children. I pray that the hearts of their children will not perpetuate the hatred that is so often at the core of why people fight with each other.

Someday, maybe, the world will be able to go without a war and the hatred that goes with it.

Blessings,
Kara
