Anne Frank’s Passion> Women's Family & Career


Life is a spectrum of rainbow. In simple parlance, the various colors denote the different aspects of life These colors are dynamic as the waves of the blue ocean which fluctuates with time. Time is the violent torrent; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place and this too will be swept away. So the importance of these various aspects is felt with respect to the time factor. In this changing time, the women folk are the torch-bearer of the civilizations’ progress.
Let’s have a glance on their priorities and choices. For illustration, as a rapid economic growth is not sufficient for the over-all development of the economy, in the same way to be financially independent does not mean that a woman is blessed in all aspect. Sometimes she may not get a chance to have a good partner in life or she may not be blessed with the ecstasy of motherhood. She is only economically independent. Many super-women have abandoned their careers in some parts of life to maintain their family’s integrity. It all depends on their priority and choice.
Housewives are sometimes too much dedicated to their families as lots of sacrifice gives them immense pleasure. Sometimes they keep their personal choices in the last category. If they wish to devote some productive time for themselves, they are most welcome. So everything depends on priority.
These days I have become a fan of Anne Frank.Her perceptions has superseded the thoughts of any woman since ages.She might have been a revolutionary writer,if not lived life for a little more than a decade.She was only thirteen when her dad gifted her a diary which she used for her writing purpose,although it was an autograph book.Noted literary genius J B S Barnard Shaw has said ,writing is the fascination and the intoxication of his life.He cannot live without writing.In the same manner this little girl has said that if she don't have the art to write for books or newspapers then she can write for her own pursuit.When she expresses  from her implicit world, she can shake off  all her cares and feels like a journey to a new world.Moreover she focuses on the life of her mother who is a working lady.She says she cannot imagine a life like all the working ladies who revolve around their work and soon be forgotten.She says she needs to devote herself to a more productive sphere than a husband and children.She wanted to provide brilliant aspirations to the human-folk even after her death,whom she had never met in her life and very thankful to the benevolent for this keepsake(divinely-gifted phenomenon).
Like the murmuring brooks that trickle down  from the hillsides,to join larger and strong streams,were the beginnings of Anne Frank's fascinating ideas.Before these ideas would have grown up,she lost her life in the concentration camp.But her thoughts have given light to us and will do century after century.

Two Languages Of Soul:Happiness & Simplicity

Rabindranath Tagore has once said ,'It is very simple to be happy ,but very difficult to be simple'.Let's have a deep understanding of this.
First analyse the initials of it.It is very simple to be happy.Is it so?Then why so many people are suffering?The elemental law of Economics states that ,human wants are unlimited but resources to satisfy the wants are limited.If wishes are horses then beggars can ride.So with these unlimited wants how a man can be happy?A king can be unhappy.On the contrary a beggar can be happy.These are related to the satisfaction or the contentment of a man.Really it is very difficult to be happy.Because this world is made up of scarcity of resources.The person who understands this can easily be contented.

It is very difficult to be simple.To be simple means that is not complicated,i.e., my mother is a very simple lady by her nature.But when I did job I purchased lots of clothes,accessories,beauty-products for her and she used them indeed.Her material accumulation has nothing to deal with her simplicity.Here simplicity at heart has greater value with respect to simplicity at possession. Jiddu Krishnamurty thinks in this way.

Rich and poor has nothing to deal with happiness and simplicity of a person.The standard of living is immaterial. I.e,a rich man may be unhappy because of discontentment.A farmer may be happy with his simple life ,only by the virtue of contentment.He is busy everyday.His wage out of his labour may not be sufficient for the luxuries,but his contentment gives him immense pleasure.He spends time happily with his wife and children.With the small things he discovers great peace.
Another illustration is the former CEO of Infosys Narayana Murthy .He is so simple at heart irrespective of everything he had.Simplicity is the language of heart.Transparency of heart is called simplicity.A poor man may have attitude,arrogance.So he is not simple though he is living a simple life.A rich man irrespective of all wealth and riches may not possess ego.He may be down to the earth.This nature is known as simplicity.
 J Krisnamurty's thought says that from the sky if we see our earth,then visualize two types of houses.One is very big house of few rich men, full of luxuries .The other one is small house of poor people.What is the difference?One is beautiful and the other one is ugly.So these are the standard of livings of man in terms of economic status.Man himself has set these status by the fundamental discovery of Economics,i.e money.But happiness and simplicity has nothing to deal with this measuring rod of economic values.These are the languages of soul.These are spontaneous.
In relative sense,to be happy is simple but to be simple is difficult.Simplicity is very rare in the Machiavelli world.
