A person who cannot be described by any combination of 26 alphabets in the English language and any number of other letters present in any language is "MOTHER". But is mother overrated or highly elevated?? It's an arguable statement that it's just the responsibility of a mother to take care of a child since she has given birth i.e. in the social dilemma of social beliefs a woman who gives birth to a child becomes a mother and it's declared that the child's responsibility should be taken up by her from cooking to cleaning. Let's consider it fine, yes, the woman termed to be a mother should cook for the child, feed him/her and so on...., but, is it called being a mother?? Are mothers only the profitless employees who have to work for a child day and night just because they gave birth to them expecting nothing and stressed to do this thing? Come on, people wake up, is this the same earth treated as mother earth where the humans have forgotten the meaning of the noble word "MOTHER"?? Fine! let me try to bring back the lost glory of this noble word by digging deep.
Mother is a beautiful word which is not just a word but an eternal aura because to raise a child feeding on time, and making them sleep on time is enough for a child to grow and be a man, but the art of "raising properly" is only possible to a mother. A mother is not just a feeder or caretaker whenever necessary but, a teacher who teaches the child how to behave, a mother is a guide when the child is misled, mother is a leader who doesn't dominate but leads the child into the right way in the world, a mother is a light in the darkness, a mother is a hope in distress, a mother is a pain medicine, a mother is a worker without gain, and what not, it's only the mother who can love anyone without any conditions and expecting nothing in return.
It's the sole reason why the earth is not just earth but mother earth, because it has kids, nature, land, and life, in its womb. We even call nature mother nature, because it is our mother caring for us giving us fresh air to breathe, land to live in, and water to survive and everything we take from our mother earth reaches us from our mother nature who never expected us to do anything for them but provided, providing and will provide us everything to live.
Who permitted us to breathe in the air for free, who permitted us to live on the land and build big houses for our sake, it's our mother who was never against us for whatever we did because we are the children and are loved and all the privileges we get to live here are the gifts of that love. Earth is our great mother protecting us by hiding inside its stomach because the mother is the only person who cannot think of any kind of harm to the kids even in their dreams.
The above example of mother earth is for memory loss patients (HUMANS) to realize that they forgot what a mother does to a child and how should the child take care of the mother when it's time. The godly creature should be taken care of and it's our responsibility now as a grown-up.
All the sacrifice, hard work, pain, and suffering a mother had undergone should be treated and it doesn't take much to satisfy any mother because all the works done are free of cost and never traded. A small smile with a heartful conversation can satisfy a mother's heart. Sometimes a little care and reliance, that "mother I am there for you" feeling makes her sleep happy. Whatever is done, how much care taken can never repay the mother's love, affection, and care, but just a small attempt to show her that I'm raised by you and I'll always be with you can impress her forgetting all the pain she has gone through. But everything has its own time so all actions need to be done on time and never be late because once our dear mother is gone nothing is in our hands, we start missing the caressing touch, sleep time lullabies, lovely stories, and everything, every memory of our mother haunts us.
Even thinking such a condition is horrible and feels like a nightmare for us so everyone it's high time please wake up to the reality it's not just our mother's responsibility to take care of us unconditionally but it's even our's to love our mother to the fullest and it doesn't go with it, because, showing back love means a lot to any mother and as mentioned above it's nothing gigantic. Thus, I would like to conclude that every mother should care for her child like the earth and never a child should throw gifts such as global warming i.e. angry communications, pollution i.e. vexed feelings and plastic which can be related to artificial emotions, hey! it's your mom and the mother always knows the intentions of the kids. Last but not the least, a mother is not just a word but an honorable mark to a person, so irrespective of gender who can love a child and care for the child can be a mother. Being simple and straight it's nothing gender biased that only a woman is a mother and that's the reason I never mentioned she/her instead used mother everywhere, because my sole intention is, "MOTHER" should be the synonym of parent and probably it's higher than parenting.
