Flowers
multiply the beauty of a place or garden. Each has their own identity where
they will be different by the number of petals, type of leaf, type of root and
so on. In particular, each flower has its own needs whereby the amount of water,
fertilizer, and care will vary. Their needs are also determined in accordance
with the environmental factor as well.
In real life,
this flower represents a woman. The amount of water is the amount of trust and
love the parents have for her. The dark days for women have come to an end and
now they are treated equally. When she is nurtured with proper guidance her
true nature will resemble her inner beauty. Next is the amount of fertilizer
which represents her dreams and hopes. She may want to be a doctor, engineer or
even jobs which are historically governed by men. Let her go and let her hopes
soar high. In between the growth phase, there will be factors such as people
scrutinizing her, talking behind her back, comment on her appearance and so on
always ensuring her downfall. That is where society, family, and friends have
to ensure she’s back on track, hold her and make sure to bring out the best from
her. She needs care from her loved ones throughout the journey. At the same
time, there will be pests which attack her and cause her life to be at stake.
For example, those who cause sexual harassment, abuse or rape her. She will
lose her entire life causing her to tear apart and that should not happen. So,
pest control should be done where there should be eyes (men or even other
female counterparts) on her not to feast or revenge on her but ensure her
safety. The flower has a long way to go and before it wilts and undergoes
renascence it will ensure something is left behind as a memory.
Being a woman
is a noble duty. Especially in this world, women face many challenges and
changes causing them to make sacrifices for another’s better days. A family’s
well being falls on a woman’s shoulder. They get married and they have to take
additional tasks where cooking, cleaning, taking care of children will fall
into the list. But she does not complain. In between her newly married life and
duties she conceives and will have many doubts on herself. “I’m fat. I’m
outgrowing my clothes. I’m no longer attractive. I have swollen ankles.” She
just dances to the hormones which she herself loses control. That is after
being officially declared as a wife. How about when she’sin her teens and early adulthood? Her
curly hair might not favor her and wearing spectacles might make her feel that
she looks nerdy. She will try to give her best “SELFIE’ post with her pimpled
face but then gives up. Today morning my junior girl said,
“I don’t look
nice when I snap a “SELFIE” on my phone.”
I said, “If
everything is perfect then we will never value imperfection. It’s not important
being beautiful in a picture but it’s much more valuable when it’s in reality.”
She smiled in agreement.
The woman then
grows old. An entire world map can be seen on her face. But she puts up her
best for her grandchildren. Her journey is endless, where there’s no substitute
for her place she just gradually upgrades herself by going through different
phases and subsequently places her name in history. She might not be the next
Mother Teresa but she will leave the world by identifying who she was and
leaves a mark in her loved one's heart.
For all of
this to become a reality, she will need a whole lot of moral support and love.
It is true that women nowadays are very much independent where they can make a
living equivalent to their male counterpart or even higher but they too are
humans. They too need some tender loving care (TLC). Therefore, not only let
women have a break on Sunday but always appreciate her presence and believe
that there is never a flawless girl or woman in this world. The flaws made her a better person and each of them deserve a chance to live a better life. Do not
underestimate her capability or judgment because when she puts her heart to
something she will eventually rule the WORLD!
HAPPY
INTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S DAY to all women out there!
P.S- Guys, if you are to read this please do not get offended. It's just a special dedication for the women on their special day. Thank you. 😇
