There are so many of us who are resigned to life....
I too move into this zone occasionally ;-) !
To reflect back on life twenty years back :
Did compromise/resignation/listlessness
or 'मेरा-क्या?'attitude towards my self exist in my dictionary
or have I imbibed that over the years?
Among my women friends also , sometimes I sense this listlessness,
which is covered up with vehemant statements like ,
" I do not want to be like those ambitious career women who neglect their home and children!!!"
or drowned in lame remarks like -
"I have compromised my life for my children and husband's career, but I am ok."
"I can't do anything because of my family."
I do not believe that you need to be working to be alive ,
or stay at home all the time to nurture your family and children!
Each of us need to take our decisions...our priorities are like each of us....unique !
I guess there is never an IDEAL situation, for a working woman, a stay at home mother/wife ....or any one!
I just get very upset when we ( including me ) sometimes use others/circumstances as an excuse not to live life!
