After a huge revolution in sex equalitity and women pursuing madly carriers, very often for the mere purpose of just proving themselves, rather than actually loving what they do in many cases, it seems that a new era has begun since a few years.
Thanks to this amazing, magic, modern tool of internet ( which like everything powerful can be used in many ways....creative ones, uncreative ones, destructive ones, senseless time consuming ones, and the list goes on and on) many people ( especially women) have the ability to combine work with spending longer hours at home, than they would do, should they have to be at their jobs.
Eventhough a jod is a means of earning money, it is of such great importance that it also fullfils a person's life in a meaningful way. There are a lot of women ( myself being one of them) who eventhough are part of a "modern" society, enjoy a more traditional role as women. That of a person who brings all the beauty in a man's life and their living surrounding.
There is nothing small about that. Actually, in today's crazy lifestyles, where marriages take place only to fall apart after some time or the first difficulties and when relationships are based on anything else but honesty, true affection and understanding or even physical attraction, a woman's role is rather big and important in a different way.
Men are more practical beens and getting in touch with their feelings is not exactly a piece of a cake. It is rather more applicable that a woman does the work for two on the emotional level. This needs time, devotion and patience.
Let me clear out here, that there is absolutely no doubt that there DO are women who enjoy having a carrier, do it in a very succesful manner and at the same time run successful relationships and families.
Just poiniting out here, that women who decide to work from home, deserve the same respect with the ones who leave home to do it. And had it not been for the female revolution a few decades ago, this would have never been an issue.
But as everything in life, every new thing needs to be evaluated through time and it has been proven that a tremendous decrease has recently taken place in the quality of relationships and family life.
Women have lost their selves, got confused with the power they aquired, only to make men also exactly as confused and actually frustrared and running away from any kind of commitment. They are not to be blamed. Actually it us, women ,who need to realise that our worth does not depend on being able to do or to earn as much as men do but
on being the best we can for ourselves. Not few are also the cases of women earning more than their male partners, by running their own home based businesses.
Nature is so, that women are blessed with the gift of having the capability to carry and give birth to children, and eventhough there is nothing wrong in men raising children, it is simply the most natural thing for a woman to spend some time raising their child or children.
Thankfully, there are ways nowdays that women can be productive & offer themselves to society and to their families, in manners different that would not have been able before the discovery of Interenet.
It enables millions of crafters and independent artists to sell their items, should they wish to online, either via their own shop or by participating in universal independent artists & crafters platforms such as Etsy, which holds a few million members worldwide, making it the biggest one.
Well known artists and people who have managed to earn their living ( and actually a good one ) are members of such online societies. And most of them can also be found on Flickr ( the biggest photography pool on earth) where their creations and often lifestyles are shared as a means of offering inspiration.
So, I 'll slowly bring this looooong post to an end by saying that should we actually want to go together with our times and not against them, it is about time we realised, that there have already decades passsed from " female revolution" and that being modern nowdays has a new meaning.
There is an increased need for returning to the rooots, whatever that means, ranging from a shift in our inner selves, to returning home, to being more close to nature.
And if an earth that is facing environmental disaster, people who are more and more depressed in consuming societies who offer everything and families and relationships who fall apart like sandcastles is not the proof and not enough of an alarm to wake us up, then, what is?
It is so much easier to simply follow our nature than to fight it and go against it.
Human sadness arises not because of who we are but because of not allowing ourselves to become who we trully are.
And as much as simple this might sound, it needs a great deal of attention, care and patience to reach to the point of understanding it and then realising it.
The reward is a quality in life that simply money cannot buy.
And it's certain, that should we all discover and cultivate our inner talents, and decide to offer them to society, more than enough money to support our lives will come our ways.....and should there be much more than we actually need, we should always remember that there are billions of people, so much more unfortunate than us, who need our help. Because happiness & blissfulness only make sense - and are actually real - when they can be shared.
