For my original free style verses on the subject of/on woman, you may like to read my MB articles: 1) Woman: A miraculous feminine existence, and 2) Mother's happiness.
This is not to say that I am a great person, but what I felt about women
(my mother, my step mother, my wife, my sister, my grandmothers...) who were/are in my circle, I wrote in free style verses and/or proses.
For men to accept the women as they are and recognize them and their contributions is a very difficult endeavour, because of men's fundamental nature; this is despite the fact that we all are born out of the wombs of our own beloved mothers; and we are nurtured and nourished by the very mother, who is not sure if she would be taken care of by her own children, when she becomes older!
Ironically, in some cases, the highly educated sons have had left their mother to the care of her daughter's daughter, who then remained unmarried and took immense care of her grandmother till her demise. This mother's four sons are very rich, and some stay abroad. And when the mother died a few years ago all the brothers came to receive their shares of the property; where their education and morality disappeared!
I can't believe to what lowest level such sons/men can stoop and become utterly selfish, and what lessons their own children would learn from such insensitive fathers.
Now, the same granddaughter is taking care of her own older parents, since she doesn't have a brother; what a sacrifice of a woman!
My elder cousin bother has two sons, one is in USA, and he has also one daughter; but after his wife expired recently, he is sort of forced to stay in an ashram, since none of his married, educated, and well-off children is ready to take care of their old father, despite the fact that he doesn't have any bad habits; and he had already transferred his property to his children much earlier, and now he has to wait for a little allowance to receive from his two sons! I wish he had not given away his property to them then, and could have kept some for his old-age needs.
And we call ourselves higher level of species! Where have the good effects of our education, our training, and the so called culture gone?
And what kind of religious people are we?
