My Dream Is My Signature

Dear Mistt,

My realization was not about my plans of me becoming an entrepreneur but about the film and dignity of labor. And I realized this

 

That is a valid question . I too saw the at movie and was happy for that lady getting respect finally . Same thing in hindi movie " English Vinglish " . And also in the hindi movie " Taare Zamin Pe " , everyone accepts that child when he finally gets high marks in school . So , if he dint get that achievement , others will be continuing to ignore and ridiculing him ? Many people asked like this that time also .

But truth is , world only recognises only achievements , whether big or small . See, in own families , if one son gets good marks or big job and another son will not get job, then parents themselves will be treating them differently . Very sad.
Unconditional love and unconditional respect is very very rare to find. Very sad .

 

Traditionally women took care of household and men worked out as providers. It was not because her work was any way of lesser importance but because it was felt a necessary tool to run the household. Then times changed and women got educated enough to do outside work. Added to that was the need for double income due to rising prices and expectations. Today there are many cases where either of the spouse has taken a back seat for the care of children and household.
In villages, the situation remains the same because it is difficult for women to work in the fields particularly the tiling and the sowing part. Men need to understand that her work is more important than he thinks. For the same work he may have to hire help at a very high cost what she does just for her basic needs.
It is more of a social problem than man woman issue.

@sindmani!
A good question to ponder upon. Thanks for bringing it up.

A woman's task (everything) is labelled as common or addressed with "So what" attitude.
Not just now, but as far as we know, women's contribution at household is always considered common and there was and is nothing big about it. I guess the future generation will realize the worth since we are thinking this way. We will tell our kids for sure. And that is how I hope.

And regarding that movie, I think they have tried to convey a message that, a normal routine life which is geared towards money making ( being a home maker/working women) wont give you satisfaction unless and until you do something other than money making. I would have been happy if she has pursued any of her passion or hobby seriously and soulfully. But the director has taken it towards the well being of the human race (home grown vegetables) may be to instill awareness.

IMHO, I feel may it be a home maker or a working woman, the normal life that we live( normal life in the sense, life which is primarily towards money making) will soon give a void. We will get fed up of the mundane life. At some point we will get that feeling.

So we need to get involved in something other than this. Something which excites us, which makes us happy and that doesn't need to give us money as the profit. And in my opinion, No! respect shouldn't be based on how much we earn, where do we work, or what we have accomplished. If we are respecting others on that basis, the basic humanity falls. And if we think, people are already respecting the other based on the above things, then humanity is already falling.
