Flowers and Thorns
Namaste 🙏..
Flowers are meant to bloom with smiles, beauty, and happiness… not with tears or sadness.. Pain belongs to the thorns that silently stand around them, protecting them through every storm..
So ladies, never lose your smile… because your happiness makes the world feel alive..and if life ever becomes hard, then let men like me become the thorns — ready to bear the pain, face the struggles, and protect those precious smiles from fading away..
Because sometimes, for a flower to keep blooming peacefully, the thorns must stay strong first. If men learn to protect, respect, and stand with genuine care, women will naturally fill the world with love, warmth, strength, and happiness in their own beautiful way...
Namaste 🙏
thanks for sharing your lovely words. I think everyone, regardless of gender, divine or otherwise, deserves to be both supported and encouraged in their struggle, and protected in their time of need and dark nights. I love your analogy of thorns and blooming ! 🌿🌘☀🌊

@Vjviji7075 What role do you think women should have in business and politics and how does that fit with this metaphor?
Women should have every right and opportunity to be part of business, politics, leadership, and every field they are passionate about. Strength, intelligence, leadership, and compassion are not limited by gender..
My metaphor was never about limiting women or saying they should stay behind. I only meant that men should learn to protect, respect, support, and never take advantage of women’s emotions or kindness..
A flower is not weak because it is soft or beautiful. In the same way, women can be caring and strong at the same time. And just like thorns protect flowers, I believe both men and women should protect and support each other while growing together in life..
But at the same time, we should also remember that sometimes men get emotionally crushed too through their own life experiences. Pain, heartbreak, loneliness, and emotional struggles are not limited to one gender. In the end, both men and women deserve understanding, respect, care, and emotional safety..
Felt, said,..nothing personal..
Namaste 🙏..
@Vjviji7075 It's pretty much impossible to be a leader in business or politics particularly at a high level if anytime "ladies" find life becomes hard they let the men face the struggles.
There's also a huge sexist aspect of men telling women to smile.
If you believe women deserve respect don't post sexist crap. The very obvious simplification of this poem is "ladies" should be pretty and loving with smiles plastered on their faces while men deal with the struggles and challenges.
Okay am SORRY...🙏
