good side in yourself. Until now woman are still considered strong but still have the good side

of them, those are the women who fight for their family, that who will never give up

understanding the flaws of the others around her. This also generalize those women who do

unwanted things but then will still manage to make things up such as those women who cheats

on their partners but because of the guilt that they feel, they will feel sorry for themselves.
