Intrinsic valor

By watedroplet

 


dust of the earth

created me of worth

as i donned the attire

knitted with virtues better


humanity seemed to matter

as i started to clean the litter

spilled by my thoughtless witter

transforming me to be more sweeter


as i prepared my garland 

of the pearls of humanity band

that weighed heavier than the sand

and precious than all other errands.


the true beauty lies in our mind

where we step-up to carve all kinds

which could serve to bind

or step to grind.


Path to this is usually alone

for only you know what's to be won

and what has to be made as none

so that i become the victor son


fighting valiantly with the inner dragon

in order to empower my virtue wagon

set on wheels to conquer the nations

where our wealth stagnated for reasons


of fear, failure, and fragmentation

as it deepens the roots of deterioration

making me settle for a compromise

leading to my ultimate demise.

"The best way to make children good is to make them happy."                                                                                      Oscar Wilde We live our life in stages. There is a childhood stage, adolescence stage, adult stage, and old age stage. We live them all and try to make each stages as good as possible. In our life this childhood and adolescent stage is much influenced by our parents and their parenting. The famous psychologist Alfred Adler mentions that the way a parent interacts with their child has an impact on the child's future. His studies show that the parenting styles could contribute towards  inferiority complex  in children.  Exploring about parenting lead me to discover that the aggressiveness in children is associated with their unmet needs. Jan Hunt in her book "The Natural child- parenting from the heart" some of the silly mistakes which we do where upbringing our children. She mentions that we objectify our babies and mani

The grande matriarch of Malabar- Book review

By watedroplet

Patriarchy wails aloud in our present society, and we all have seen the devastating effect of it as women are left out of property, dependent on husbands, subject to domestic violence, etc. If this is what you feel, then this book is the right choice for enlightenment. Summary The opening of the book is the real gripper. Stepping into the story with a suspenseful opening of the death of Dakshayani Amma, drawing our attention towards something wrong done to her. The suspects are her relatives, for everyone seems to have a motive to kill her. As the story unfolded with the advancing pages, the detective aspect of the story slowly faded away, showing the ugly look of a mother who chose the matriarchal crown over everything and, in this quest, ruined her happy married life and made her children long for their father forever. The charm of legacy blinded her to such an extent that she only focused on her daughter, Pavizham. The lives of other children meant nothing to her. This book intro

Become somebody's staff

It is always said that life begins with oneself. Yes, I agree with you, as I said in my last post on self-love. But then my mind was drawn to something unique. I still remember my ambitious school days, when I never failed to compete in every achievement. That was my adrenaline rush and my youthful plus life. For some time, this chase phase was awesome, but as I advanced in my life, many more surprises enlightened my happy life. I learned that achievement is just a drop in the ocean; I have to fathom many more fields of honour. As I was learning the meaning of life, I observed something strange happening around me. I saw people stamping on others in order to climb their stairs of success. Many times, I am left behind in such races. At this point in time, an image rolls in front of my eyes. "The mother." When a girl is married, she thinks of herself and her husband, but in this husband-wife relationship, the wife also expects something from the husband, and vice versa. As she
