How women add colour & happiness to life

[Amit]

I've always felt that a house with only men feels calm and quiet. I can't recall anyone paying much attention to colours. But when a woman is around - be it a mother, sister, girlfriend or daughter - the home fills with colours and happiness, with lots of laughter. I can't quite put into words the positive energy she brings.

I once met a woman who joined a small firm right after school. Despite the MD's advice, she began using the company's machines for small domestic orders. Those orders ended up bringing in more profit than the core business, so the MD promoted her to a senior role. Now, in her 50s, she's basically a one-person army and sits on the board.

She even works on Saturdays and Sundays because she started planting flowers and trees in every empty corner of the workplace. The whole place is now bursting with colour, and she waters them on her day off.

I have never seen a man do something like that.

That sounds like a stereotype. It really depends on the person. My husband is the type who can light up a room with positive energy, laughter and jokes. I'm the opposite – a social recluse and total loner, so I doubt I'm adding much colour to any gathering.

We're actually empathetic. We listen, we think, we analyse and we put ourselves in other people's shoes. Often, when I see a poorly designed product, I hear someone say, 'Oh, a man must have designed this.' The stereotype says women think with their hearts and men with their brains, but that's not true. Men think with their heads and emotions, while women see the bigger picture. Studies now show that peace talks involving women are more likely to hold up compared to talks with only men.

We are queens, yet we often get treated like rubbish under a shoe.

Because we are amazing beings, deeply connected to the earth, nature, the universe, our souls and our emotions.

A house with only men can feel quieter and less emotionally expressive. It's not that men can't create warmth; many were simply never taught how. Women, on the other hand, are often encouraged to take on the emotional labour of a home.

I truly believe that people who are emotionally expressive, nurturing, playful and attentive to beauty make any space feel alive. Women are just more often allowed to show those traits openly.

That's so true ❤️ I couldn't agree more.

My dad always wanted a daughter because he said women make a house feel like a home with their love, warmth and openness.

I asked my mom why he wanted daughters so badly. She told me that when his youngest sister (my bua) got married and left the house, the family and home just didn't feel the same.

Now he has two daughters—me and my sister—and he dotes on us a lot. I can feel that women bring a different level of emotional warmth to the house.
