Are Men Really Stronger.................?

Hello everybody.For all those who have read my blog earlier I am continuing the task of providing hope and inspiration,not to mention gaining so myself,to all those who are confused and are not able to make a decision.We sometimes have a view regarding something,but are not able to convince ourselves,leave alone others,whether we are right and whether we can hold on to this thought forever.In this post I write about a view which I strongly believe in and would not mind arguing over it for hours.
Here I'm entering the age old debate on who is stronger MALE or FEMALE.
First of all I would like all the readers to read it with an open mind,without any prejudice, and at the end confirm if they do relate with me. CAUTION: This article is a strict NO for male chauvinists.
Many people wrongly associate strength with power.These are two totally different,yet related words.but we will come to that later.Strength for some is the quality of being strong,physically and mentally.But for me it means more.For me a person with more muscle need not be strong or the person with the sharpest mind may not be strong as well.I perceive strength as a power to resist stress,as a power to endure infinite pain for something we believe in.
A classic example of this is our beloved leader,Mahatma Gandhi , neither did he had great muscles nor did he possess the brain of Albert Einstein.But what he did had was the STRENGTH to take on the mighty British umpire.
And it is exactly this view which led me to believe that women are stronger than men.
Yes,we men are strong.Both mentally and physically.But,do we have it in us to resist stress and strain as they do.Ours is a male dominated society(no matter how much your thinking differ,its still the truth).and to survive in these conditions for ages in itself is a commendable task.It was not long ago that a female child was killed in womb itself.So this gives them a head start.Moreover we see them doing the same things as we do with same efficiency and courage(if not better).In today's world in every sector we see women working at par with men.So definitely they are not weaker than us.
Many would argue that they have lesser physical strength than men.I agree.But even we lack the emotional stability they bring in our life.We might be more muscular,but in the end all of us need women in our life.Be it your Mother, Sister, Teacher or your better half.We are always incomplete without them.
But are male ego refuses to accept defeat.So we put forth another argument saying if we complete each other why to label one as strong and the other weak.Let us All be equal.I consider this itself as my victory.Because for ages these men never accepted them to co-exist and now they are giving them equality.This itself should be applauded.But i have one last card which I'm sure will tilt the balance in their favour.
As I said earlier strength is the power to endure pain.I strongly believe women have greater power to endure pain than us men.And I'm sure the almighty GOD agree with me.Otherwise why would the creator of the entire universe give it's power of creation to women.Yes, the fact that god has entrusted the power of giving birth to a child, in women makes them much more stronger.Because women could bear more pain than us.Arguing this means arguing the will of GOD.
With this I take your leave.
I believe every man and woman should read this and at least give it thought.
Thank you.

Welcome.............

" Friends, people and netizens ; lend me your ears for I have come to ....................."
I have come with no noble purpose as that of Mark Antony's when he made this statement(well almost this statement).But like Mark Antony's this statement is a part of a journey that will sway us all who read it.
Firstly, I am no great writer nor am I a blog enthusiast .But still because of some reasons, which I am still trying to figure out, I have taken up writing.So all those literary scholars who are reading it(not many I'm sure) please forgive this amateur in his attempt.I am just a jobless Engineering graduate trying to pass his time by writing.
Secondly, You must be wondering what does Die Hard mean?If you turn the pages of Dictionary DIE HARD means continue to exist,prevail.That is exactly what my life is all about.Enduring everything life has thrown so far and still continuing to exist.Since our kindergarten days we are expected to excel in something.Be it studies or sports.Excellence is what this society demands.And you being a part of society have to succumb to its needs.But obviously not everybody can be excellent.So for those who do not excel in anything( like me) or do not have any quality that you can outsmart others at,Life is just about existing.Although the society has set high standards for existence also,we never cease to exist.Why?Because we have hope.Hope to excel one day.YES my friend it is hope that keeps us ticking.For some it may be academics, for some it may be money. But it is this ray of hope that keeps us from dying of brutality of society demands.This is what my blog will be all about.HOPE.The optimist in you will always see you through the toughest phase of life.So don't let it die,because if it does even existing would not exist.
Lastly, on a lighter note I would like to applaud for all those who have gone through the pain of reading my blog.Please do write comment on it so that I can bring to you better stuff.
Thanking you for your time.
Good bye and stay in touch.


PS:Write to me any experiences of yours so that we can derive hope and inspiration from it.
