Maybe you are intrigued with the title of this article. Different things may enter your mind, but is not about cars, motorcycles, etc… but a creature…
Two hours have passed but I can’t think of topic to write. Different questions entered my mind. Will they read this? What if someone will be offended? What am I going to write? Until I heard a beep from my phone and form it, I received a message from a former friend in elementary that goes this way: A girl is special creature created by God. If you praise her, she thinks you’re lying. If you don’t, you’re good for nothing. If she talks, she wants you to listen. If she listen’s she wants you to talk. If you kiss her, you’re not a gentleman. If you don’t you’re not a man. If you agree to all her likes, you’re a wimp, if you don’t you’re not understanding. So simple, yet so complex, so weird, yet so beautiful. That’s a girl, a non-understandable creature, but makes a man complete.” The last two sentences got my interest. But why do sometimes “some” boys treat a girl as a toy” After playing her, he would dumped her like a garbage.
History says that in old times, girls are not given such priority and importance in the community. They serve as slaves, they do the household chores as caretakers of thier children. Truly different from the situation now, they work, vote, hold a position in the government, they do what the boys do. But there are still chances that they are nearly “manipulated” and ” “disregarded” by some “cruel” and “playful” creatures.
Let’s come to a closer look of what girls can do despite thier being “girls only” – weak, fragile, vulnerable and soft hearted person.
The president “Gloria Macapagal Arroyo” is a living example. She is a mother to her children and the same time to ninety million of Filipinos. Governor “Ma. Grace Cielo Padaca of the province of Isabela, physically handicapped but now serving as a leader to over a half million of “ISABELINOS”. Yet, she could not please everybody and sometimes other people would tell “babae kasi”(girl). Now, who says that only boys can be a Governor or even a president??
There are Filipino women who had successfully climbed the highest mountain in the world. Who says that only boys can do it? A wife that becomes a breadwinner, but why is it that she is still battered? A girlfriend who understands why her boyfriend had left her for another girl and who wholeheartedly accepted him when he had “realized” his mistakes, after which he does it repeatedly but he hears no complaint from her. An Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) who does not even have time to rest or sleep but her husband would live luxuriously in the Philippines. A mother would untiringly looks after her child who was confined in the Hospitals, then after the child gets well, he killed her mother.
Yes sometimes she is maltreated. She is defenseless and hopeless. Her only weapon is her tears. But who would have gave birth to our Savior to our National Hero or to YOU, with out her. She is only a girl, whether you like it or not, she completes a man… but definitely not a toy for the big boys.
