It is said that woman is the weaker sex, the one who is dominated by men and the world…. forced to do things against her wishes, oppressed and tortured...there is this whole conversation build around women empowerment.
Is woman really the WEAKER sex?
Maybe true…but is that the COMPLETE truth?
A woman has been powerful, more than she can ever imagine herself to be…
She has the power to conceive, to create, to nurture, to influence!
A woman is gifted with the emotions, the ability to nurture, to bring clans together, and create conversations around the dining table and deepen bonds …
As a lover she evokes the passion and love in the man;
as a mother, the woman shapes her children and feeds them the story of life;
as a wife she influences her husband, provides him inputs on different aspects of life;
as a family person she binds the family and creates a foundation of love and support all around;
as a career woman she brings in the emotional element in the otherwise logical world;
She is the guiding force of life!
She is that multi-tasker who can juggle a lot of roles with nonchalance and ease.
However, over the years, the woman has been misusing the gift of creation.
She controls her children and husband and uses love as a manipulating tool; she struggles with her in-laws and family members to maintain her position and power...She feels the need to hide behind manipulations and dramas at home and elsewhere: sometimes aggressively, sometimes quietly!
Instead of being the powerful creator that she is, she plays this I-am-powerless/confused/oppressed-please-help-me creature who feels the need to be rescued, to pitch one person against the other, playing sly-behind-the-scenes-verbal games to become powerful.
Instead of being the guiding force of life, she has become the guiding force of lies...
A child is born in love and truth, that is the only language it knows….it is upto the mother to guide the child in this journey and not feed its mind with thoughts of fear, scarcity and insecurities and her unmet ambitions.
A husband looks upto his wife to be the source of his strength and guidance, not someone who manipulates and unscrupulously influences him to meet her unfulfilled needs.
What if a woman stops feeding in thoughts of insecurity and helplessness to those around her?
What if she takes charge of her life and stops living her dreams through her children and husband?
What if she stops her sly manipulations and actually guides her family to love and truth?
What if the woman begins to live her truth and reclaim her power?
She can change herself, her family, the community she lives in, and the entire nation.
Maybe she can change the DNA of the civilization itself!
It is time we as women realize that we are not these helpless downtrodden creatures, but that we have the responsibility of guiding and influencing this and the coming generations, appropriately!
I know this, for I have been one too: a quietly strong, sometimes manipulative woman struggling in my power games to be better than others!
I realize that I need to respect the gift of strength and creation,
which has been bestowed on me by life, as I am born a woman,
and create a generation of truth and love,
instead!
