Generations in Darkness
He says that our mother is an angel and then I say that she is like a mountain but more powerful, stronger, and patient than all mountains and similar to all women that I have seen.
Yes, a woman, a woman who fears and she is afraid of a future that may change at any time but not by her own decision but for anything which is in the interest of custom, tradition, and culture which seem benevolent.
Do you know? It seems that some people are born with fear and pain and I have seen many women among such people, yes she is of more fear and pain share and this is due to her femininity property and because of the cruelties that she suffers them and angers that she receives but she can’t defend herself sometimes for the love and affection that she has kept them in her heart and sometimes for the power that they have wrested from her so that restoring and withdrawing the same is not so simple.
Hey! You wrathful man, I think that you don’t know about the power of words! You don’t know that a word can change itself into a mountain and then stand for a human. Perhaps, if you knew this, you would never donate your anger to a woman and you would never share in the darkness of the path which she had stepped in.
You don’t know that how hard it is for a woman to separate the pains from her existence at any time and put away the anger from her thoughts and carry on a road that she knows will get broken again but she doesn’t want to stop because she is steadfast and immovable like a mountain and like herself and much the same as a woman.
