When I sat down to write this, I pray earnestly for the courage and caliber to complete it. We human beings follow a lot of story of national inspiration and cooperative endeavor, may be when we compete professionally or in our personal lives. We individuals on this beautiful planet are created by God to fulfill a particular role. Whatever I have achieved in life is through His help, and an expression of His will.
What we see and understand, how much do we follow in reality?
My observation speaks that Indians suffer unnecessary misery all their lives due to failure in knowing how to manage their emotions. They are paralyzed by some sort of a psychological inertia. Phrases like ‘an alternative’, ‘the only feasible solution’, and ‘wait till that moment’ are commonplace in our business conversations.
Why not pen down about the deep rooted character traits manifesting themselves in such widespread fashion, self defeatist thought patterns and negative behavior?
Expectations keep rising .People expect to have children of their own blood but if it’s not destined they accept it and sit back shrieking. They can’t put a step forward to adopt an orphan and give him/her the best living. The only fear- if things don’t turn up well, who might look after them. Tomorrow if they legally adopt the child and he/she doesn’t fit up well to the family, they may claim to be a part of their assets .Or if at any case they are blessed in their later age to have a child of their own what next?
Discrimination may soon take place in their lives.
Having heard these from many brains, I seriously wonder that what about those parents who are left behind by their own children in old aged homage. Did they ever dream of it when they were nourishing them over the years?
A newlywed girl is expected to show the best to her in laws even if she is not. To show others what they want her to be like, she has to unveil a full wearing. Families ignore the mistakes of their own child but make it a point to show the minor if a line doesn’t go parallel to them. Few people love to welcome others the way they are, and few love are happy with the fictitious ones.
We believe in sacrificing, sometimes in different roles. It is a society pledge that a lady needs to give up her job and everything else to raise her child. Does it really work?? I think if a woman live up and enjoy her work with her own space, she can set up an example for her child to live life without fear and without any lament. After all who is a graduate Mother in this world? Motherhood comes naturally as a blessing .Not necessarily as burden. Instead of being a mother with demur in heart we can work and be happy for the children to understand the taste of life.
I haven’t reached that phase of life yet to learn if I could ever become a good mother, but certainly building my roadway of trying to develop into a better human being.
The inspirational idols we all look up to like-
Swami Vivekananda Ji, Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam , Kiran Bedi ,Kalpana Chawla and may more.. Have chased their dreams.
May it be a man or woman dreams are never gender biased .
Here again I get reminded of some beautiful lines quote by one of the greatest pride of India Dr .APJ Abdul Kalam-
“You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust.
You were born with ideas and dreams.
You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling,
so I don’t, I have wings.
I will learn to use them to fly.”
Creative mind has sprouted inventions, discoveries and achievements that have been constantly working and imaging the outcome in the mind. Inventions and discoveries are thereby lead by imaging and constant effort with all the forces of the universe working together. The question is: are you willing to become a unique personality.
We certainly can’t follow those protocols every time that have been set as a benchmark for our society.
Yesterday “Natural recourses’ defined power
Today “Knowledge does it all”
Woman used to be decked up with bangles and symbols of marital status on them to prove cultural values serving their families in early days. However, today the highly educated and smartly dressed women are going hand in hand with their partners in not just becoming homemakers but financially trying to become their support system. Not just educated homemakers but Women have taken the Nation globally ahead.
Yesterday “Values were extra”
Today “Values are everything”
What I mean to say is we can bring a difference in everything by dumping our narrow thoughts and go in for a broader vision .As a woman I say to all to come out of the nutshell walk with raised head, with eyes looking straight, with our own principles and not to falter from our chosen path.
As a human I would say to drive the ignorance away, take up knowledge as pride and welcome the bliss of life with learned mind.
This should be the Dharma of Emerging Human and not just a Woman.
