Family

Family is like a circle. Circle covers and gives protection to the inner content. Circle has a centre. There cannot be two centres in a circle. If there are two points claiming to be equal in status and claiming to be centre of the circle, then it has lost the shape of the circle. It has lost its identity. It has lost its uniqueness. If a family wants to be happy, man should have central authority; husband should have main authority, father should be the controller. If wife also wants equal authority with man and freedom to do whatever she likes, she is claiming to be second centre in the circle of family. In the quest of equality with the husband, she and the family will have to sacrifice the ‘happiness’ which is more valuable and long-lasting in family relationship. In the world-wide race of wives claiming and asserting equality with the husband, they are ignoring the happiness of the family. Whatever the Constitutions of the Nations, political and gender justice activists say; man and woman are not equal in nature. Male is always dominating partner in living animals, in all creatures made by God. This fact has to be understood in its correct sense. We should rethink coolly. By conferring equal status on woman are we not going against nature? This is artificial equality. If a woman tries to become husband, she will neither remain wife, nor can she be a husband. If a wife really wants to be happy she should accept the husband as the centre. If husband is centre, the whole inner content of the circle inside the periphery, except the circle, will belong to the wife. Just like in any Industry only employers will not do, only employees will not do; but there should be employer and employees. One superior, other subordinates; then only business will run. There is nothing wrong or need of inferiority-feeling in being employees and working as subordinates. Crores of employees are working as subordinates of somebody else and still happy with the job. The same analogy may be applied to a family. Crores of wives would be happy if they accept their husbands as centre of the family and do not feel bad in being subservient to the husband. Otherwise circle will be broken and families will fragment into pieces. And exactly that is happening now a day. Divorces have increased in number. Marital incompatibility is increasing on a large scale due to wrong, so called modern notions of ‘gender equality’.
