i'm really trying to understand her but...

This is the forwarded message

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 20 grams to 500 grams.
The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it."

"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If
I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with
the burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it!"

And this was her reply

Jamkablam,

Its logical and relieving to put down the glass of
water sometimes.
But the challenge I think is in holding on...
dance, sing, smile,
think of strategies on how to endure the pain while
holding the glass of water.........
...coz when you put it down it increases the
probability of it being broken,
and a cut from a broken glass i think would hurt
even more....
we have the option to put down the glass too and
leave it ..
but when it breaks,
we'll never know who will get hurt...
Yes, put it down sometimes with care and in safe
places......
it will totally be ok...
but if time pushes you to hold on .....hold on to it
!... familiarize with the pain......it will never
easy....
but you can learn from each moment it hurts...

...soon the water is gone..... it will
evaporate....hehe
...but before it does, put some ice and drink it all
the way for a refreshing moment........

then start all over again.........hehe. Lets drink to
all our stress!!!!! Cheers!!!!

Thanks Jam for this sweet reminder and for holding my
glass of water sometimes.
