a new way of thinking...

The office is a male dominated world. Well, most offices, more so in countries like Japan. Woman are thought to be the weaker sex. The man is the head of the family. The woman's job is to stay at home and be a good wife, mother and daughter-in-law, to take care of the family.

Having grown up in a family where both my parents work, I stand firm on the notion that woman can both work and handle the family well. I turned out fine, if not better than average...haha

I guess to a certain extent, women try to prove that we are just as strong. But have we ever thought we never need to prove that because we already are? At the Kawamura Fellowship party last Saturday, someone raised a very interesting thought. That is, "women are oppressed because we are strong".

When the time comes when all women have to be mobilized in the work force, then the end of the world must be near... *put in extremes*

What do you think?

「子は親の鏡」

けなされて育つと、子どもは、人をけなすようになる
とげとげした家庭で育つと、子どもは、乱暴になる
不安な気持ちで育てると、子どもも不安になる
「かわいそうな子だ｣と言って育てると、子どもは、みじめな気持ちになる
子どもを馬鹿にすると、引っ込みじあんな子になる
親が他人を羨んでばかりいると、子どもも人を羨むようになる
叱り付けてばかりいると、子どもは「自分は悪い子なんだ」と思ってしまう

そう言うとおり。。。
