Women’s Day
If women is Shakti, then how and when did she become weak and disabled and needed to be empowered?
It happened because they left their forte and started to compete with men. When money became the mode of exchange and eventually became so powerful people in general, we got convinced that it’s ok to sacrifice everything to acquire money. First it was just men who got blind sided by money and then to keep their validity and importance women started controlling the household duties, they mainly became kitchen queens. They started controlling the kitchen by keeping secret recipes and housekeeping tips. Instead of helping each other and supporting each other they started becoming more and more competitive to acquire the best man for themselves, best man became synonymous with rich! And best women were the one who could cook and keep the house tidy, take care of kids and family.
Basically, the one purpose on man’s life became to make more and more money and women’s to be the one who can please such a man, because the man who had money could afford house help and eased the women’s job and she could enjoy her domain even better.
Over the time these roles started becoming more and more rigid. Men started thinking they have to maintain the status of the family which was again synonymous to more money. And the man has to be kept happy as he is doing so much for the family.
Unknowingly both started sacrificing their desires and their real calling for their set roles. Over the time money just took over any other desire of the mankind. House help became more common and families started to shrink. Women perceived that to get the recognition and feel valued they need to make money, that is the only way to get a life, get a face and somehow that connected to independence and freedom. So ultimately, she started a process to become a man!
But the core of women won’t let her become man either, so instead of becoming free confident and independent, rather she became confused, tangled and somehow guilt took over. More that free she became even more dependent of the support system. Parents, maids, to go boxes and slave to the lifestyle.
Instead of women becoming like man, both man and women didn’t even remain human. The race for money created the education system that can only teach how to make money and not how to be happy.
So, on this women’s day remember to first be a women for the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
