[Reader-list] Greetings for May Day

[radhikarajen at vsnl.net]

Hi, 

  Dhatri and tara,

     basicxally it is about the mother earth and nature which is very tolerent to humans when in their greed and expertise use the technology to harvest nature for the wealth, nature and mother earth forgives with all tolerence but when the greed becomes overbearing, then we see nature in its ful fury to manking and all living beings, be it a cyclone, tsunami or an earthquake. ?

  A female is often compared to mother earth, in society, conditioned to be servient, but in free India, as political freedom was gained ,it was also the efforts of many women who sacrificed their wellbeing for the freedom struggle as mother, wife and sister , later even in free India it was many mothers, wives and sisters who lost their loved ones in the misadventures of the national leaders who wanted to keep peace in some country ignoring their national interest and loss of many lives.

   But with advent of economic freedom today the female in society is and will be less tolerent in a society where man is no more a sole bread winner. ? If tolerence is to be present in the society it has to be in both the genders male and female forms, to be harmoniuous in living life. ! The present scenario in the society is that of male and female lives are complementary to each other neither equal, not inferior or superior to each other, as each can have better life if both are complementary in life to each other as men are in cooking kitchen and women are present in what was considered as male domain. !

   Regards.
