Dilshad and Zoya...these two women are the reasons why I watch QH and today both stood their grounds and moved forward a step closer in my heart...
Dilshad has always been the epitome of grace...dignity...and courage. She was the woman who was rejected and deserted by a man who never stood by her when he needed him the most...she brought up her children all by herself which is praiseworthy especially considering the patriarchal society she is part off. But what she did today was beyond anything I anticipated...she forgave the man who wronged her and her children. "To 'forgive and forget' is among the best deeds of a great person."Did Rashid deserve forgiveness? No he doesn't...but why did Dilshad feel it was necessary to forgive him at this time...was it her weakness seeing Rashid on the ground ? Maybe or maybe not ? But what I felt is that it was necessary for Dilshad to forgive him to move on forward with her life. My question is: which is more difficult to forgive or to live with anger and resentment? Forgiveness is indeed difficult. But carrying around a huge burden of bitterness and anger is more difficult and brings us nothing of value. This negative feeling spirals into hostility until it tears down a person completely. The only way to end the downward spiral of bitterness is with forgiveness. Dilshad did the same...she forgave Rashid because it was important for her to move on...I don't feel Rashid should have that power on Dilshad for her to have any kind of feelings for him...it's just not worth it. So does it mean that Dilshad is a weak person...absolutely not...Forgiveness is not a sign of weakness. It is an act of strength. It takes courage to forgive and let go and Dilshad did the same.
But saying that I do want to make a note that all crimes against women shouldn't be forgiven or forgotten...atrocities against women ...rape...kidnapping...domestic violence...molestation...manhandling...Eve teasing...even casual flirting should be reported and the accused should be punished. Some crimes cannot be forgiven or forgotten.
Zoya my girl brought a huge smile on my face when she rejected Asad's help and had the courage to show him what she is made off. She is not the women whose spirits would be crushed by an ordeal in life...she would not fall into pieces...but would stand up to face it. I am still hoping once she is physically strong she reports the criminals...it seems Asad has no intentions in reporting Akram. Anyways...I was extremely delighted to see Zoya making it very clear to Asad about his very regressive and judgmental views.
A huge applaud to all my fellow women who take a stand in their life to protect themselves and their very precious children and loved ones...each and everyone of you is my inspiration.
