Should your Sister Cry, You will come to Grief

The title is a line from a story published at vbelonghere.blogspot.com where Baskar writes:
What I mean is, what with our anxiety about the fate of our sisters, the love we have for them, the loss that we will suffer without them, and the grief their tears will cause us, I mean what is a gift or two to purchase some peace of mind?
He then states that “The second source of anxiety is that, should your sister cry, you will come to grief.”

This set me thinking about the natural quality (power) of sisters (women). Why will you come to grief, should your sister cry?

1. Sister as a woman, in the image of Kali, Durga and others. Righteous, and carries—has not forsaken—the qualities of womanliness. To such a woman—the bearer of children, life and dharma—should you cause grief, then you will come to grief.

You will come to grief. When you are with the bow and arrow, aiming for the apple, you will imagine the discomfort when you share the apple with her, and it will hurt you more when she accepts the apple without cursing you. The apple is important to her, a fuel for her life, and for the life of all life. That she will eat the apple, but with a sense of grief and void, will cause grief to you.

2. Through Science—Women and men are not alike. They think differently, and respect means the understanding of the biological differences.If you cause grief to a woman then you would have a hard time understanding her perspective. You would need to abandon your logic for the time-being and come to be like them to console them.

Not all men are philosophically inclined and the high-school football player may find it easier to give gifts to an aggrieved sister than to enquire into the nature of a woman. He can’t do this everyday so he will make sure that his sister remains happy; make extra efforts for the same; please her; for he knows that should his sister cry, he will come to grief.
