Nature of Attraction - Womanhood

Recently I had an argument with a colleague of mine, who made a very casual statement that women are cause of all issues for the mere fact that men are attracted towards them.  On being asked about what he thinks of his mother being a woman, he answered he respects womanhood only in the form of a mother. For a person who considers women, the cause of all issues considers motherhood as the only right hood. For him all other avatars or forms of women are cause of issues. Well, this is one of those ridiculous statements that I have heard very often. While I was pleased with the fact that he really understood motherhood, I think he had a fundamentally ridiculous understanding of womanhood.

I say, how can that be? Every woman is a mother, a child, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a girlfriend or a friend. It is the same person in all avatars. How can one nature of woman be right and the other wrong ? If you still think so, it's because of your expereince, your factors and above all your nature.

What I say, attraction towards an external matter, object or opposite sex is your nature and not the nature of the external being. It is your stored nature and not the stored nature of the matter, object or person you are attracted to. Hence if you think you want to shy away from this natural phenomenon, then work on your nature, your mind and dont blame the external being for your attraction towards it.

For always, people have been blaming others for their state and their situation. I think it's high time we should stop this and instead do a self retrospection. I would say men should work on themselves if they find wrong on being attracted to a woman or of they blame women for a hindrance in their pursuit. Vishwamitra getting attracted to Menika was not Menika's fault, rather it was Viswamitra's weakness.

Think about it, get up and rise above all the blame game. From the core of our heart, we all know that we need to work on ourselves than to blame any other factor for our situation.

A woman is all about care, patience, compassion, giving and understanding personified.

Womanhood is all about "Lovehood" and let's respect her !
