1 Picture 1 Story Week #74

"You will be fine soon, a little tiredness but nothing serious." The doctor told the woman after checking her up.

 
The lady felt relieved, "Thank you, doctor."

After prescribing the medicines, the doctor asked the woman out of curiosity, "What do you do?"

Hearing the question, her face turned sad. There was nothing in her mind except helplessness, pain, a feeling of smallness, and a negative feeling. Till now, everyone at home and outside had given her this feeling.

"I don't do anything, but I am just a housewife." She replied very embarrassedly, as if being a housewife was a crime, a big reason to be ashamed.

"Oh wow! But why are you so sad? You should be proud of yourself. You are the one who is on duty 24 by seven. Not only this, you are so great that you sacrifice your desires and keep the whole house happy. You are a housewife. Never be sad from now on. Never underestimate yourself. You are everything, and in my view, next to the creator himself."

When she came out of the clinic, her face was glowing with new confidence.

It is true that love, loyalty, and intimacy are very important in relationships, but it is not right that women should consider all these things as their responsibility and their religion. It is not right to stop living for oneself and live for others.

It is also not right to stop thinking about oneself and live only for one's relationships. Actually, behind this thinking and behavior of theirs is that mentality, which does not help them to respect themselves since childhood. In our society, girls are taught only to respect others, to sacrifice for others, and to dedicate themselves to others, due to which they do not even consider it necessary to think about themselves, and even they become a victim of emotions.

There is a difference between self-respect and selfishness because the problem is that in our society it is not considered necessary to explain the importance of self-respect to women. They are always taught to take care of others since childhood.

If a girl does something by mistake by giving importance to herself or her choice, then it is called selfishness. And this is the reason why they consider self-respect as selfishness, and despite wanting to, they are unable to take many steps for themselves. I also feel that the role of girls in South Asia is explained in a wrong way, but one-sided love or one-sided responsibility is not possible in any relationship.

From childhood, girls are taught that they have to take care of everyone or that it is their responsibility to make and maintain relationships. It is also important to know what all they are taught and explained in this role. Do not talk to anyone in a loud voice. Do not answer back to anyone, even if the other person is wrong. Have a sense of sacrifice and dedication for everyone. Eat only after everyone has eaten.

Why is this so? I feel that women are better than men in every field, and a housewife is not a useless person, but she is a perfect housemaker, and without her help, nothing would work properly.
