Respect for Women

"If you truly love your mother, you cannot disrespect women. If you disrespect women, you don't appreciate motherhood well enough." I will elaborate a bit on this now:
When you make obscene comments about a woman or her body, you forget some things. You forget how you even came into existence in this world. You forget that as a baby you grew up, being fed by a woman. Your mother. Perhaps you don't literally forget it, but you totally forget to appreciate these facts. Every woman is a mother, now or in the future. She is divine and so is her body. It is each of ours duty to respect and safeguard her instead of looking for ways to exploit or abuse her, directly or indirectly, verbally or physically. I have walked among and am part of an age and gender group which perhaps needs this reminder the most. I've been witness to a lot of such verbal disrespect. Most may not behave that way directly to a woman, but a man's true colours are shown best by how he conducts himself behind others' backs. It speaks volumes about how he would act if no trouble would befall him in doing so. In other words, a potential abuser is dormant inside such a man. Don't be one among them.
Always respect women as a token of gratitude for motherhood.

How You Make Me Feel

When I open my eyes,
I see everything around me.
When I close my eyes,
I see nothing but you.
You have that smile,
Which lights up the nights,
Like fireflies in the dark.
You have those eyes,
Which make it hard,
To take one’s eyes off.
You are that person,
Who comes once in a lifetime.
You are that feeling,
Which can’t be put into words.
I close my eyes tightly,
For this lovely moment,
So I can feel nothing,

Beyond how you make me feel.
