8th March is celebrated as the International Day of Women across the globe. Heard and saw quite a lot of activities on this day yesterday. There were radiostations inviting women into their studios and talking to them over the air, hospitals organizing free health checkups for women and even pubs/restaurants serving drinks 'On the House' on the day...Boy, sometimes do you wish you were a woman! ;-)
But on a serious note, we do see, even today, a lot of things that need to change. We say that we're living in a new world, but how many of us truly believe and practice the principles of this world?
Received an e-mail from a friend on Womens Day. It sure is pretty interesting and quite relevant.
"A Woman"
This is written in the Hebrew Talmud, the book where all of the sayings and preaching of Rabbis are conserved over time. It says:
"Be very careful if you make a woman cry,
because God counts her tears.
The woman came out of a man's rib.
Not from his feet to be walked on.
Not from his head to be superior,
but from the side to be equal.
Under the arm to be protected,
and next to the heart to be loved."
