In Honour Of All Women!

I am a man and I respect women. All of them - right from who you spitefully call a prostitute to the one who is praised as an angel. Yes, I respect them. Friend or not so friendly - I respect them. Moody or free and jovial - I respect them. Quiet or talkative - I respect them. Attractive or not attractive - I respect them. I have never been into a love affair with anyone all my life. But that has never stopped me from quietly observing them and taking note of the beauty that emerges out of the complexity of their nature. They are exquisitely beautiful - everyone of them.

Some lose their temper fast, some have a bad ego, some appear cranky at some point, some are overly sophisticated, some don't like men at all and some think they are always right. So what? Let them be. Aren't outbursts quite natural even with you? I have always believed that there are reasons behind how one reacts, even though the way they react may not appear to be so nice. Because you would be astounded yourself to find that deep down - they could all be so loving and kind. If you still allow yourself to be carried away by a few bad encounters you might have had in the past and continue treating all women like scum, there cannot be a man as wretched as you. Truly, you have to open your eyes to see the many that are always smiling, the ones that are serene and believe in peace and the quiet, the genuine lot that are sincere with their words and would do anything for love, the pure-hearted that are incapable of duality and masking their intentions, the kind ones that are quick at lending a helping hand and those that are faithful.

The bias that clouds our judgments needs to disappear; or we would only complain and frown all the time. Few idiots get into relationships with a set intention to say goodbye after they lose taste. There are some who call off weddings in the last minute (citing silly reasons that do not even remotely relate to adultery) and live their shameless lives as though nothing ever happened. There are also a vulgar few who get married and then look out for other flesh. I sincerely hope they make a law to emasculate such men in the public. 

A real incident. The story of a very kind woman who was married for over 25 years. The husband called off the marriage - because, at fifty, he gave in to lust and wanted young flesh. After the divorce notice was sent, word spread and everyone around got to know. They were all very supportive of her. Her brothers took her to their place. They made plans. Plans to kill the rascal who ditched the wife of his youth. But oh dear, you should have seen the way she screamed at them with tears flooding down her cheek. 'Don't you dare even think of doing such heinous nonsense, he is my husband!' were the words - stressing on the 'MY'. I was there. Shocked. To say such things even after being cheated and left stranded alone - could by all means be only one thing. Divine. My eyes almost watered listening to those words. She still lives with a hope that her husband would one day change and return to her.

To truly understand the heart of a woman, you should talk to your mother. I sincerely wish every man be taught to cultivate the habit of being kind to all women. Kind to them, irrespective of whatever lifestyle they might lead. They deserve respect. Sincere respect. For just being who they are. For just being. WOMEN.
