Are You a Super Woman?

To all the women out there, have you ever imagined to be called a "Super Woman" for something you have no role or power to play in or have you ever felt ridiculed for something you would never have been able to change? 

In most of the South Asian countries, a woman who gives birth to the gender male possesses the way more pride and value in comparison with the one giving birth to the other. Now, the question that a sane mind must ask is that how a woman can be declared superior for something she didn't do and, at the same time, how the other one being rewarded the lesser respect and dignity as both of them took the same suffering to bring a new living being into this world? No one will ever have the answer to this question that on what grounds this is being done but the dilemma in our patriarchal society goes on even in the 21st century. A lot has evolved with the passage of time in these countries but sparing the school of thought in a few regards. Blaming a woman for giving birth to the non-desired gender is ridiculous and an open example of high-end ignorance. 

Another fact is that women have been considered a soft target in ignorant societies from the start. The pressure on women to give birth to boys has been immense since ages. They are beaten, threaten to be overthrown, being forced to allow their men for another marriage, and also divorced in the name of giving birth to the female gender. Men who believe that women's particulars are responsible for the gender of the child are in immediate need of learning that the chromosomes of a female body have nothing to do with the gender sortition in the whole process. 

Our patricentric society needs to acknowledge and appraise the role of women in everyone's life. It is essential to appreciate the gender that has brought every living being into this world. Over the past few years, the situation for women has slightly improved in terms of their rights, appreciation, and worth but there is still a lot to be done to bring them to equal rights and acknowledgments as men. 

Live beyond Life

We all may have heard on so many occasions that the real purpose of life is served only when you live for others. The renowned genius of the world Albert Einstien once said that "Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile". The message is clear, loud and steady that always be willing to stand for others like you expect the world to stand for you when you are having trouble. Helping others will always help you to live a peaceful and satisfactory life. The question that arises here is that what could be the possible passage to help others out. What could be an act of kindness and generosity that lives beyond your life as well?

Have you ever imagined there is one way every single person in this entire universe can help; It doesn't matter how helpless is he. One must be forced to think that how a feeble can be of use to anyone! Now take some time out and think, of what use are our organs to us once we are out of breathing? For the very obvious reasons, the answer is that they are of no use. Have we ever thought that donating our body organs afterward can help us to live beyond life? Burying the useful organs along with the deceased is of no use and benefit. Yes, there is an emotional dilemma attached to this asking. It is how one can allow scorching the body organs of the beloved after being deceased. This may sound inhumane to some but what is being done for others with these organs is way bigger keeping the lines of humanity in view.

Let's pose an example to bring more clarity to the issue being raised, imagine, that a father is on his death bed following the failure of his kidney and there is no availability of the donor. Doctors have asked to arrange for a donor or lose hope of survival. The same day, the son of the abovementioned man, unfortunately, had an accident and died. Being brought to the same hospital his father was losing his hope of life in. The doctors after the final examination of the deceased called the whole family in and asked, the life of the man can be saved if you allow us to donate your son's kidney to his father. What answer you think the whole family may have given? Well for the obvious reasons and with a heavy heart, they must have allowed the doctors to take out the kidney and save the life of the one who still has a hope to live. Just because the one who was about to die was their own family member, they allowed the kidney to be donated. What if the same family was asked for someone else's father? They obviously would have denied. So, here is the message that is being upraised that to live for others is the life worth living. 

In Pakistan, more than two hundred thousand people die every year because of organ failure and a country having a population of more than 220 million, only fifteen thousand people have registered to donate their organs yet. There is a huge need for awareness in this regard. We all have a role to play, to think and decide. The example quoted above has a loud message that under a given situation, for our loved ones, we can decide to donate but when it comes to donating our organs for others, we fumble and iterate.

"Live for yourself, you will live in vain

Live for the others and you will live again"

Half Killed

Dependents of the death row prisoners are the real sufferers. Like there are many in the world, quoted here is one tragic story of two innocent girls who were raised to see their 'bread finder' behind the bars over a crime in which these innocents souls were not involved, nor guilty. The question is why they are punished too for a crime their father has committed!! Why such souls are forced into a life no one desires? Have the death penalty givers ever brainstormed that how far the effects of one such order will go? Does the state have no responsibility for the people associated with the one given death sentence? Hanging one man to his death 'due to whatever the reasons' destroy many of the lives associated with him and that has to be a matter of concern for everyone out there. 

Here is a story of just one man and his daughters to give an idea of the issue being raised. A death row prisoner from Pakistan who was penalized to death years back had two little girls. Following the verdict of the court, his execution orders have arrived on several occasions and due to whatever the reasons called off but what's worrying is that every time such orders have arrived, those two innocent souls were supposed to have one last meeting with their very own father. Pump up your brain for a while and think about the pain and intensity of any such meeting in which the helpless daughters know that this is going to be the end of their meetings with their father. One can only imagine the pain and trauma of being in such a condition and more importantly, what impact it would have given on the mind of these girls for the rest of their lives. And this traumatic situation is not only restricted to this man and his daughters but to the many in this world. 

The first World Day against the Death Penalty was organized in 2002 but following the past several years into it, nothing during this period of time has changed in the justice system of Pakistan. Orders commanding 'Hang till Death' are still being passed and implemented irrespective of the fact that how it is going to destroy and affect the lives of people associated with the one being executed. There has to be a way out, there has to be a remedy, there has to be thought of people associated with the one who is executed in the name of the law. Law offenders must be punished, there is no second stance in this regard but what should be the way? Execution? And if it is, not only the person specifically being banished but the hopes, mental peace and ways of life are also tarnished for the people associated with him. 

Killing one can leave many 'half-killed'. Taking one life can take many.
