A little boy asked his mother, “Why are you crying?”
“Because I’m a woman,” she told him.
“I don’t understand,” he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said, “And you never will.”
“All women cry for no reason,” was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God. When …God got on the phone, he asked, “God, why do women cry so easily?”
God said: “When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her strength to carry her man through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good man never hurts his woman, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.”
“You see my son,” said God, “The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart – the place where love resides.”
To sum it up.
Women are special because they are/have:
- Strong
- Inner strength
- Hardness
- Sensitivity
- Wisdom
- Beauty
And as I can see, even if we’re still living under our ancestors’ days, women remain to be heroes in their own ways. Most of our great grandmothers have raised a number of kids as those were the days when parents believed that ‘to have more kids is wealth’. My dad has 8 siblings while mom is the only child though she has 3 step sibs. One of my aunts also has 15 kids! Hilarious.
Women were even rigorously fated to stay at home back then unlike modern moms today. Women were only destined to get married (by hook or by crook) before they reach the age of 25, feed their children, clean the house, take care of their hubbies and GROW OLD. While men merely served as the main provider of the family. If a child turns out to be a bad kid, or a distasteful food has been served in the table, who’s being yelled and blamed with?
If we’re going to balance the task men and women share at home, it obviously shrieks how burdened a woman can get just by counting on her “motherly” role. Try to weigh “emotional” from “financial” burden. Emotional is the woman and financial is the man. I didn’t include the “physical” side as both man and woman’s role involves it. Now, if emotional and financial sides of parenthood have to be ascertained, the emotional side won the battle of comparing women from men. That — women are more special than men. But of course, it doesn’t mean that men should be taken for granted -they play a big role in PROCREATION anyway. LOL. And once a woman is impregnated – the rest of emotional and physical burdens would be history on a man. For men, DON’T react. As you don’t know how hard it would be for a woman to carry a child in her womb for nine long months and face emergencies that lie ahead. It’s the most painful part of being a woman – next is HEARTBREAK. =) Circumcision is only a matter of days or weeks cry glory. And heartbreak, what’s it for you? A bottle of beer? Or a one-night stand?
I’m open for violent reaction(s) here. =)
