Even though this blog is dedicated for books I was enough convinced by my own conscience to write this in the last few hours. True, that this article is not related to books but it certainly is a much more heart touching topic to every human being. The thought of writing this was provoked by a story which I came across, a status message of a friend in facebook. So first of all I would like every one of you to go through it.
"A daughter is a daughter till she gets a husband, a son is a son all his Life!"
Dedicated to all daughters.
A couple made a deal the night of their Marriage to NOT open the door of their room to anybody who comes knocking in the morning for any reason!
In the morning the parents of the husband came & knocked on the door, the husband & the wife were looking at each other & as they agreed before, they didn't open the door.
After a while the parents of the bride came knocking at the door to check on them, the couple were looking at each other, then the bride dropped a tear & started crying she said: "I cannot keep them knocking & not open the door, I miss them already"
The husband didn't say anything & he let her open the door for her parents.Years & years passed & the couple had 5 children, the first ones were boys & the 5th was a little girl, when she was born the father was extremely happy that Almighty blessed him with her, & he threw a Huge Party for her in Grand style, people were so amazed with his joy & his happiness that they asked him, why are you so happy with her more than you were before with her older brothers?
He answered simply: "She is the one who will open the door for me"
Baby girls are the comfort of the eyes of their father!They hold the key to their mother’s hearts!Daughters are really unique.They care for their parents even after they are married.Its rightly said,
"A son is a son till he gets a Wife, a daughter is a daughter all her Life!"
It was indeed a nice story. I was in a hurry to leave the office so I also liked it and set off for the journey back home. But whole through the way my mind was disturbed thinking about what I read. Was that really making any sense!
Daughter is a daughter all her life! Yes, of course. Sons are sons till he gets a wife. True, in most of the cases. But isn’t it ironic that the daughters who remain daughters all their lives are the ones who stop the sons being sons for all their lives! The above story itself is a good example to prove it. Otherwise, a son would never look away or neglect his parents if not for his wife. So, is it his fault that he faces the situation silently in order to protect his marriage and keep the family life a happy one?
There were so many ‘likes’ to the post and comments such as ‘proud to have daughters’, ‘proud to be a daughter’, etc. Somehow I find those comments very funny. Especially in such a story which clearly depicts the harsh behavior of a so called daughter to her in-laws. Can those people really be proud of their selves? I mean just because they have daughters or they are daughters? According to me, you can be a proud parent of a daughter not just because she will be a daughter to you in all her life but also to her in-laws as well. That proves that the daughter is nurtured well, and that you have made her a compassionate woman towards the society, a loving and caring human being to others irrespective of their role and the relationship in her life. As a daughter, we can be proud only if we let our husbands remain the son for his parents all his life.
Hope everyone understands these simple facts. Learn to put their selves in others’ shoes and act accordingly. Today you may be a proud parent to have a daughter but tomorrow you can be an in-law for another daughter who will make your son dance to her tunes. If the wife in this story became a better child by opening the door for her parents the same time she acts a heartless human by keeping the door locked for her in-laws, making her husband an ungrateful son. A story is not just to look at the outer cover and rejoice but to look deep into and see and understand the actual truth! Hats off to all the real daughters who behave in such a way for their parents to be really proud of them!
