Do You Feel Complete?
March – a special month for women just passed. Did we women ever spend a day pondering on our womanhood and our essential role in society? How we complement men to make this world a perfect place to live in? And that if we falter and fail, everything will also falter and fail?
The women’s month is celebrated to highlight the importance of women in society. To make men realize that the world will never function normally if women’s role is undermined and given less importance. Women on the other hand, should have a full realization of their role and its significance for this is the only way that humanity can truly live in peace and harmony.
Women’s role is to complement men’s. Like the Yin and Yang they co-exist. One should acknowledge the fact that survival depends on the existence of the other. It does not matter who is Yin, who is Yang… who is stronger, who is weaker… who should do this, who should do that…What matters most is that each one tries to fulfill what the other one cannot…
Fill the vacuum left by the other’s imperfection…but we can only fill it only when we feel COMPLETE.
How can we be complete? Pamela Redmond Satran, a writer, journalist and columnist, said it all:
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …
enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
something perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
a youth she’s content to leave behind….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …
a past juicy enough that she’s looking forward to
retelling it in her old age….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …..
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
one friend who always makes her laugh…
and one who lets her cry…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal,
that will make her guests feel honored…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
a feeling of control over her destiny…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
how to fall in love without losing herself..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
how to quit a job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.. .
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
when to try harder…
and WHEN TO WALK AWAY…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
that she can’t change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
that her childhood may not have been perfect…
but it’s over…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
what she would and wouldn’t do for love or more…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
how to live alone…
even if she doesn’t like it…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. .
whom she can trust,
whom she can’t,
and why she shouldn’t take it personally.. .
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
where to go…
be it to her best friend’s kitchen table..
or a charming Inn in the woods…
when her soul needs soothing…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
What she can and can’t accomplish in a day…
a month…and a year…
Celebrate the woman in you…everyday, every minute.
