I am software engineer and always work round the clock to
learn new things. But if you ask me a question on current events or if you try
to discuss with any of the event that happened in the city, you can see a blank
look on my face.
My knowledge on current events is so limited and the only
source is my maid, who brings me news about current events now and then.
Am I too stingy to buy newspaper everyday? or I am too
obsessed with mean things that I don’t watch news ?
No.. The reason is I am too sensitive. Too sensitive for bad
news that the newspaper carries. And one such thing is violence again women. It
shakes the basic trust that I have on this society and the fellow human beings.
I really don’t understand the reason behind the women being
bullied and annoyed by the society often. Being weaker than men, does that make
her vulnerable for attacks?
Irrespective of the higher or lower society, educated or
uneducated people, domestic or international differences I could see the crime
against women in all phases and in all places. Why is this happening and what
could be the starting point for this?
Is this the universal law, that the weaker animal is being
attacked and bossed upon by the stronger animal where I have seen the Lion threatening
the Hyena’s in discovery channel.
But even after years and years of civilization, do we still
have the dark patches of characters that we have got from our ancestors.
Women are not only bullied and tortured by their opposite
sex and most of the times by the same sex.which makes me worry more.
The thought goes on.. I am still struggling to find the
reason behind the activities against women.
But I am clear on the solution for this. The basic reason behind
the society’s cruel face against women is we forgot the morals. And we forgot
to teach the moral to our kids.
Whether you are educated or uneducated, when you have a kid,
teach them the importance of the fellow human, teach them to respect fellow
human's feeling, make them to stick to the basic values which are more
important.
Make them to look at girl as a fellow human first and then
as a girl or sister or anyone next.
Teach them the needs to protect women and respect her
emotions. Tell them that she may be different in appearance but she is the
basis for every men's life. She has more capabilities than man, Men may be
stronger but even the strongest man cannot carry his gene to next generation on
his own. He needs the help of women.
Teach the children that the women are elixir of life and
without her the world will never flourish. Teach the boys the right way, the
women has to be treated and respected. Teach them the values of life more than
the value of money.Teach them to understand the pain of women as theirs.
Remember if you wish your advices and words to be heard, first
you have listen to them and follow them. So start living from this moment the
way you like to be treated by others. Treat the women whom you come across your
life with respect, start observing few things which you have never done till
now like giving our mom a day's rest and doing all her chores, helping your
young maid to get the education she needed, giving your daughter-in-law few
words of appreciation, helping your wife in her daily activities, gifting your
daughter one of the class you have rejected because you felt it is unnecesssary.
Start today..
And slowly and steadily we will build a society that treats
women with a value they deserve.
Lastly, I always wanted to have a boy child and I pray God
for the same everyday. Not because I like boy-child more than girl. In fact I
like girl-child more.
But I want to bring him with morals and wanted to see him
treating his sister, grandma, girl friends, wife, daughter with respect and
care they deserve. If I can achieve that I succeed not only as mother but also as
women.
May be this story tells about the expression of love which was not accepted at the time it was told. But is remembered fondly and will be remembered fondly for the whole life.
