March is "Women's history month..." And yesterday, March 8th, was the celebration of "International Women's Day..." So, once again, I hope, I'm not too late to wish all the ladies here a "Happy Women's Day!" And so, it's just good to talk about women for a while.👩 Sharing to you some photos of flowers from my gallery that I've taken at various times.🌻 I hope they're still as gorgeous as they were when I snapped them. Since antiquity, flowers have long been depicted as a symbol of femininity. Why?🤔Because they represent a woman's beauty and loveliness! Furthermore, a woman's docile and gentle nature is likened to the delicate nature of flowers. Women of various races, like flowers of different colors, are as beautiful in their own ways as the roles they play in society. There's an old adage that says a woman is the driving force behind a man's success. That's correct... Woman has been created by God for man to have a helpmate. Just imagine if man is all alone? Of course that would be lonely...😬 And true, for it says in Genesis, that God saw man to be lonely, that it wasn't good for him to be alone, and must need a companion. So God created woman by taking out one of Adam's ribs. Cloned from Adam's rib... (you see, God performed the first surgery and cloning even in the beginning of the world... and for those who don't believe in God here...😁 hehe, of course this would be another topic), so continuing with Eve's creation from Adam's rib, this then implies that a woman would have to be his 'life partner,' who would always be beside him, and neither above nor below him. Though, she wouldn't be his total equal, for a woman is the "weaker vessel". Yeah, woman is weaker, whether we admit it or not for this can be seen in her anatomical structure, as a woman's body is not as strong as a man's. That is why there is a separate category in Athletics for example, there's a men's basketball and women's basketball team, and so on with other sports. With this distinction, man is instructed to love her as his own because she was a part of him, the soft and fragile part of him, but strong enough to carry and take care of his offsprings.😀 You see, just like the'mighty mitochondria,' that serve as the cell's powerhouses, women serve as the home's sources of light and strength. This metaphor extends further, biologically, in fact, mitochondrial DNA are only passed down by the female species to her offspring, both male and female. However, the male does not pass them down. Hence, the mitochondrial DNA in males are derived from their mothers. This shows the great influence that a mother has to her children. She is the queen of the home from which everyone draws strength and inspiration. The queen in chess, like the bee queen, wields the most powerful rule in their domain. Even the housewife, in the book of Proverbs, has command of the household. That is how important women's roles are in our society. So, ladies, regardless of your status, whether you are career-oriented, home-bound, or stay-at-home moms, we are all the same. Cheers!🥂 And to the gentlemen here, take note, our ladies deserved all the love in the world...😍❤️💙💛🧡💜 🌻Peace and love, @Mitochondria🩺 Original Content Creator💯 #Flowerdiaries Caloocan City, Philippines
