WISE

God decides different paths for us,
That a single soul to follow.
He trains us through our journeys to earth,
And gives us misery and sorrow.
Sufferings or happiness, none stay forever,
They come and go like waves,
A wise treats both as gifts of God,
Balanced he always behaves.

or the work that gets them there
is disengenuous; it is impossible for women not to have jobs anymore, so it doesn't make sense to expect them to structure their lives around getting married.

After all, we can eat without marriage, but not without work. — Samhita Mukhopadhyay

Those caregivers and therapists need people like me to earn their bread and butter and draw their salaries. So no one is doing any favors when choosing whatever his means of livelihood is. — Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay

The problem with the 'masculinity crisis' is not that women have excelled too much and therefore created a crisis for men, but that we have such a stein inability to let go of what it has traditionally meant to be a man ...
