::God's Woman.
2:55 p.m. - 2006-11-15
Many of my friends strongly believe that i credit women for way too much. In fact, they think i'm one of those feminist-ish types who believe that women are angels and men are assholes. Honestly, i don't burn my bras and i do believe in shaving(not that demeaning i say).
However, women have constantly held me in awe with the way they manage to hold themselves in so many situations. Yes, not all women out there are wonderfully nice, but one thing is for sure, that God definitely wanted them to be special.
I've often heard of friends who claim that women were created out of the rib of a man and thus they are not that worthy. I've also often heard of why women should and will be subjugated. I have heard of men who laugh at companies and organisations headed by women. I've seen women break at every juncture of their life and still hold out till the end.
Today i came across this very old mail. I once blogged this entry but it has more meaning to me everytime i read it.
Its interesting to note that every seconds at least one woman around the world is raped,abused or subjugated to some kind of masochistic act. I hope that you ladies find some strength in this message that i found a lot of solace in..
When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day.An angel came by and said: “Why spend so much time on that one?”
And the Lord answered: “Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her ?"
“She must be washable, but not made of plastic, have more than 200 moving parts which all must be replaceable and she must function on all kinds of food, she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, give a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart and she must do all this with only two hands”.
The angel was impressed.
“Just two hands....impossible!“
And this is the standard model?!
“Too much work for one day....wait until tomorrow and then complete her“.
“I will not”, said the Lord. “I am so close to complete this creation, which will be the favourite of my heart”.
“She cures herself when sick and she can work 18 hours a day”.
The angel came nearer and touched the woman.
“But you have made her so soft, Lord” “She is soft", said the Lord, “But I have also made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.“
“Can she think?" the angel asked.
The Lord answered:
“Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate."
And the Lord said:
“Tears are her way of expressing grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”
This made a big impression on the angel; “Lord, you are genius.
You thought of everything. The woman is indeed marvellous!"
Indeed she is!
Woman has strengths that amazes man. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when feeling like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying, crys when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid.
She fights for what she belives in.
Stand up against injustice.
She doesn’t take “no” for an answer, when she can see a better solution. She gives herself so her family can thrive. She takes her friend to the doctor if she is afraid.
Her love is unconditional.
She cries when her kids are victorious. She is happy when her friends do well.
She is glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding.
Her heart is broken when a next of kin or friend dies.
But she finds the strength to get on with life.
She knows that a kiss and a hug can heal a broken heart. There is only one thing wrong with her.
She forgets what she is worth..
