If you truly love your daughter - do not teach her that her dreams and desires are fulfilled by the presence of a man in her life; Teach her that her support in this life is her intellect, her scientific degree and her financial independence
- a man comes as an addition to share her ambitions, glories and dreams - and if he is an obstacle, he must be amputated from her life; Life is not dependent on him.
If you really love your daughter - you will be a defender of her dignity and freedom to make her personal decisions without paying attention to the opinion of the backward society - do not let backward customs and traditions destroy your relationship with your daughter

Change takes years, consists of many very small victories, contains concessions at every stage, and is accompanied by many humiliating ups & downs. This sounds very "unromantic" and that's the point.
The only way to achieve the change we need is to change our understanding of how change actually happens. Work in development is about change. And change brings conflict, pain, confusion. Only out of this emerges a new understanding.
This being so, we might as well face change straight-on and, in our case, this means for us to start deconstructing the whole existing development delusion with its myths that have led us to the unwarranted situation in which people have come to accept scarcity and poverty….
Until lions have their own historians, hunting stories will continue to glorify hunters. (African proverb)
For people fighting other’s damn wars there are no winners or losers; just survivors. But be it as it may, glory has always gone to the victors; political history shows us that. (David Baldacci, The Whole Truth)
Does war serve as an entertainment function for the powerful to which they invite the powerless misers to be on the front line? (Henri Jeanson) "Guns don't kill people, people kill people…"
My today's take from a notebook "At puberty, the elements of an unsuperstitious sexual morality ought to be taught. Boys and girls should be taught that nothing can justify sexual intercourse unless there is mutual inclination...
Boys and girls should be taught respect for each other's liberty; they should be made to feel that nothing gives one human being rights over another, and that jealousy and possessiveness kill love.
They should be taught that to bring another human being into the world is a very serious matter, only to be undertaken when the child will have a reasonable prospect of health, good surroundings, and parental care.
