Hi Friends,
I know a lot has been said about this topic over last week. But I just want to add few of my jumble-mumble to it.
Now, I know my husband for over 13 years out of which 6 years was when we were dating. Having been familiar with this person for long and also some what a genetic defect, we argue a lot. Mind, we love each other fiercely and we openly acknowledge that no one else have the guts and madness enough to marry us, we are stuck with other anyway. We banter, throw one-liners at each other, argue over silly things like how many "Paddu"s (a south Indian dish) I eat more than him there by giving him less food, which movie to watch, which restaurant to go etc.. all this in a light hearted way and fight sometimes on serious issues which creeps up because we are different persons at the end of the day. On one of those silent,non-dramatic days I was just asking him if we are abnormal to argue, fight so much when compared to other couples around us, like his parents for ex.
I can still remember what he said to me that day and will never forget till I die. Here is what he said,
" I know we love each other a lot.But always remember that the most important thing for a person is not love, it is the Dignity of one's self and closely followed by self-respect. The day we stop fighting, that is the day one of us has lost our dignity and self respect. That means one person is dominating and other person is compromising always. No amount of love can compensate for this loss of Dignity and self-respect."
So the short of this long, boring story is that, I am seeing that in the name of Love and "sacrifice for thers", is Pragya not compromising on her self-respect and dignity? Listening to all the taunts from every corner of the house, is she not giving away her self-respect on a platter? If she herself don't think and realize that she deserves respect and dignity as any other person on this planet, then who will? If I don't respect myself, then no one will. I need to love myself, before some one else's love.
What do you guys think?
