________________ life... what is the sign from nature? Why is it that only a woman can bear a child and not a man...? Because a man does not possess the same amount of forbearance, love, sentiments as the woman has...! One, who can tolerate, can create!!! One, who cannot tolerate, cannot create!!! One who possesses endurance, patience and tolerance is the one who can create something unique, something distinguishied. Therefore, a woman is called an idol of patience and forbearance. She is an epitome of persistence, acceptance and tolerance. Does being a mother carry with it expectations? Is all her patience, her tolerance, her creation, her motherly feelings, a result of expectations or affection? Perhaps your take on this would be - it is because of the closeness she shares with her child, however, in my view, it is surely a combination – a little bit of attachment, a bit of selfishness and a bit of expectation. Motherhood which is free from expectations, is high ranking. Motherhood which is devoid of selfishness, is noble and immaculate. — 2 —
