Celebrating Womanhood

I believe that both men and women possess unique qualities that are fundamentally different, but wonderfully complementary. It is nature’s grand plan to maintain the difference between ‘Yin’ and ‘Yang’ so that the world can survive as a whole. However, women have always been termed a ‘weaker’ sex, which I strongly object to. Often, people say it is men who did most of the creative work in all walks of life and continue to do so, while creative women are far and few between. Perhaps, the centuries of such condemnation by men has now led women to claim their right of equality. But, we fail to see the reality. Creative urge is equally endowed in both men and women. Men go on fulfilling this urge through paintings, music, literature, science, and so on. Yet, even the most creative man dies feeling discontented with his creations. On the other hand, every woman is fully satisfied soon after giving birth to a child, bearing severest of the pain known to mankind. There cannot be any greater creation than creating a life. I salute every woman for this creative ability that no man can ever match.
