This morning I woke up with a nagging question of why do women most always need a ‘reason’ to bring out their courage (lion) that had been with them for all their life. I have noticed, while most men exhort their power to get what they want, most women hide theirs (not just their strengths, even their wisdoms they hide) to keep peace in their household.
Why keeping peace is women's job in most households?
Most women are acutely aware of their men’s vulnerabilities
with regards to their egos -- if disturbed men can hunt their women down to their
graves and the people (men as well as the women) around would just watch them suffer. Why does this happen? Well, that’s just what most people do!
It seems that most women are as capable as most men to
carry out the missions they believe are worth pursuing. But most women don’t take advantage of
their capabilities until they are put in the ‘fight or flight’ position. Even
after this, most women choose to flight, rather than fight, because that’s what
they have learned from their grandmother, mother, sisters and girlfriends.
My above thought sprang out of the most amazing story I read yesterday about a woman in
Pakistan. Her name is Zahida Kazmi. Zahida had the courage to change her fate by taking a path that not only
the women of developing countries but also the men of progressive world had thought impossible. However the 'lion' inside of her did not wake up until her innocent little children needed her help. To read these incredible stories, please follow the links below:
