Happy Women's Day

As we celebrate International Women's Day, may we in our everyday lives continue to celebrate, cherish and value the contributions of women in making the world a better place. 

Ours is a world where there is no choice of an imagined future of security, prosperity and peace where women's talents, capacity and insights can be ignored. No remedy of our psychological headaches, emotional heartaches and mental agitations without due consideration, marked improvements or a complete overhaul of our general attitudes towards womankind. No durable appreciation of our comforts and achievements without  regard of the rights of women whose plight remain unheard, whose dreams are dashed, imprisoned by outdated cultural norms, or whose very existence is falsely considered a treat to human progress.

The realization supported by empirical evidence of great advancements society enjoys when women are given the chance to participate fully in the life of society gives us an opportunity to rethink our assumptions about the nature of humanity as whole, as well as provides an impetus for a wholehearted embrace toward creating an environment where their latent talents, capacities and virtue can be harnessed for the general good, resulting in the well-being of all. 

 On this auspicious day, as we pray for those in anguish, as we work to relieve the suffering of those in bondage, as we heal the wounds of those who've suffered abuse and violence of all kinds, as we open our hearts, minds and souls to let the light of love and compassion shine, let us do our very best in building a glorious future.
 May we adore the women in our lives, hold them dearly in our hearts, offer them a loving smile, comfort them, lend them a helping hand so that each and every one of them, our mothers, daughters, sisters and aunts may see themselves as the Angels they truly are.

Happy Women's Day
