A woman makes a house a home. A touch of her finger brings order to things. Her laughter is the fountain of life. She is an artist not an artisan when it comes to building up social life - these are words from The Gitanjali by Tagore. So what went wrong? Why cannot the modern man and women accept and respect each others differences? What is so difficult to see that its together that there is harmony? That they complete each other? The modern woman wants to be equal to her man. Which is good and how it should be, but somehow society has forgotten that we are psychologically different. Physically its obvious, the difference. Women are much more complicated than a man. Everyday she wakes up and decides what she will wear.Its her way of showing the world the reflection of her feeling for that day. A man does not give so much thought to his clothes. Her child keeps her bound to her house and chastity is her offering of love. the modern woman in her race of equality has been given an unfair bargain. Now the man is afraid to say to a women that he would like to take care of her or protect her....not that a woman wants it ...but its a natural instinct that jumps to the fore when you love someone. He is afraid that the woman might walk away thinking he is old fashioned or machoistic . Why does a woman not realize that she can be her womanly self and still be equal to a man? doing things that are stupid...like smoking does not make her equal. A man can be a great father...but its a woman that is the one who actually educates her children. Its a natural instinct. its something to be proud of. We can really change the world, make it better- one child at a time. I think the modern woman is a little lost today. especially in the west there is this big misunderstanding about the eastern women. We are looked upon as repressed. that maybe true in many cases but if the east copies the west then the whole world is doomed. Its not all about material things, about your own self. Don´t loose yourself, at the same time don´t drown yourself trying to be a fragment of an idea of an image conjured up my the marketing department of a product advertisement.
Look within, find yourself. How can you make this world better? Can you really if you are not sure who you are? And its not all ok. Buying things and having the latest car is not going to help you feel fulfilled. Take a deeeep breath woman ......and just be who you are. So what if you change your dress 5 times before you step out. Or you change your mind about things. We are all about feelings and instincts. About intuition. So don´t be fooled into being like a man. He is different and often clueless where we are on sound grounds.
