Resist - dictionary says "oppose actively." Resilience - dictionary says "ability to recover quickly from illness, change or misfortune.
Enter, Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards and Mrs. Kate Gosselin..........two recent TV interviewees. Both married to handsome, intelligent men. Both suffering immensely because of their mates. John Edwards met his mistress when she saw him outside of a restaurant and went up to him and told him, "you are so hot." Clearly, John couldn't resist wanting to hop in bed to prove he was just that hot. His ego, which you would think would be large as a politician, needed the reinforcement from a complete stranger. Now, his wife, facing life threatening cancer, shows resilience and has just completed a book by the same title.
Kate Gosselin and her husband, Jon, stars of their own reality show, "Jon and Kate Plus Eight, "are fighting similar hurdles. Jon has been in the news and tabloids recently as having an affair with a younger woman while Kate was out of town. Jon, too, could not resist the lust or temptation and has caused his wife tremendous hurt. It doesn't really matter if like John Edwards, he had a sexual affair or not. Kate Gosselin will now have to muster up the same resilience that Elizabeth Edwards possesses. It's all so unnecessary.
