Listen

They were called soulmates.

Yet, not equal. They lived under one roof but were different.

One was called Mr and the other Mrs. However, this is how society works.

This starts from little things. Mrs wake up early , cook the food and do the chores of the house and as well of Mr and go to work. Whereas, Mr wake up late , eat the food and go to work. Yet, the final decision making power is with Mr.

How come Mrs agree with this ?

Mr feels stressed. So, he drinks and smokes. It’s normal right. So do Mrs feels stressed and does the same. How come she is characterless?

Mrs has to inform Mr before going anywhere or she would be accused of cheating. But Mr is not obliged .

What entitles Mr have to this authority?

Mr loved Mrs so he married her. He gained a wife or we can say a maid. Mrs loved Mr so she had to lose her identity. Ms. became Mrs. and had to leave her home.

Why Mrs has to pay so much just for loving someone?

Mr. feels tired. He can rest.

But Mrs. who is sick and wants to rest is throwing tantrums.

Mr is enjoying to be born as a man.

Mrs is suffering to be a woman.

Mr bring a rose for Mrs. She was over the moon and satisfied. How come Mr never gets satisfied?

One day, Mrs gets tired of this life. She decides to leave this and become free. How come she was called shameless?

If Mr decides to leave. How come again Mrs was blamed to be infertile and got bad character?

This is how a life got destroyed.

Nature made their bodies different but they still got the same heart.

Their souls are different but they deserve the same respect.

Equality isn’t just treating everyone the same. It’s to give everyone same chance to grow.

Water is calm because it can flow free. But fire is vibrant because it was constrained. Yet, they both have same worth.

Imbalance doesn’t erase value.

They were born different by nature but were divided by treatment.

Thankyou for giving me this opportunity. 💖
