Motherhood - it completes me !!!

To know that birthing a child doesn't stop with the birth, is usually the after effects of delivery!
Whatever said and done, the world is in utter distress. Direction-less, angry and spiteful. There is this need of the hour to propagate goodness, love and peace. A need that rises with every drop of blood lost to a cause that denotes the rule of power, prejudice and poverty.

We give birth to human-beings not with the intention of making them good human-beings but with the single thought of making a 'family'. An heir to tell a tale..an off spring to ride into the future of our own histories. Yet, we are part of and are surrounded by this cosmic movement leading towards the satisfaction of the soul's body. Sex !!
A constant whirlpool, a perennial need and society's  biggest statement ! The liaisons between men and women shoulder this mutual  give and take of the petals of lust with shrubs of a larger picture...pro creation !

Everything in this life is patterned. And everything moves towards this one central point of existence ! The vicious circle of human    lineage !!

How important is thought ? How important is practice ? How important is the need to be at peace at all times ? And how important is the Self ?

Is it enough to be one of the most highly populated countries and yet practice no sort of vision ? Live a life merely because there's obvious evidence of others having lived it that way ? Or can we strut into a world of elevated thought and rid ourselves of the obvious !

No doubt, times have changed. Relationships have got newer definitions and  Social practices and acceptances have altered their limitations. While the old  allow for little newness, there is newness nevertheless.

Yet, as we walk into the countless futuristic tomorrows made by our very own inventions .. Still  we stare directly into the eyes of theft, rape, hurt and sorrow. We are addressing poverty, women's rights, child labour, fiscal policies, governments, global warming, violence and more.

With all this ----- delivering a child is what is being preached as the achievement of a woman's purpose on earth ! Motherhood - the complete journey of a woman !!

That we as a human clan are responsible for the lives we bring in, is often omitted. That we should shape a child's brain into a good soul. That we comprehend a fact that we are in dire need for being, bringing up and leaving behind Good Human Beings is of far greater importance than anything else.

If a man or woman nurtures goodness in another- that, in my opinion, is the completion of true purpose !

Birthing a child seems easier ! ! !
