Men vs women . Why we are always different ?

Do you ever think why men and women are always opposite in any case ? Apparently , According to john gray in his book entitled man from mars, women from venus, tell  that one day long ago , the martians or man from mars , looking through their telescopes , discovered the venusians or women from venus . They fell in love quickly and flew to venus . The venusians welcomed the martians with open arms , Their hearts opened wide to a love they had never felt before . The love between the martians and venusians was magical . They delighted in being together , doing things together ,  and sharing together . For years they lived together in love and harmony . Then they decided to fly to Earth . In the beginning everything was wonderful and beautiful . But the effect of Earth’s atmosphere took hold , and one morning everyone woke up with a peculiar kind of AMNESIA . SELECTIVE AMNESIA !  . Both the martians and venusains forgot that they were from different planets and supposed to be different . And since that day , man and women have been in conflict .

We can see the different between men and women around us or even we feel the differences between men and women . Most men have little awareness of how important it is to a woman to feel supported by someone who cares . Woman are happy when they believe their needs will be met . When a woman is upset , overwhelmed , confused , exhausted , or hopless what she need most is simple companionship . She need to feel she is not alone . She needs to feel loved and cherished . Emphaty , understanding , validation , compassion go long way to assist her in becomingmore receptive and appreciative of his support . Men don’t realize this because men instincts tell them it’s the best way to be alone when they are upset . When she is upset , out of respect he will leave her alone , or if he stays he makes matters worse by trying to solve her problems . He doesn’t instinctively realize how important closeness , intimacy , and sharing are to her . What she needs most is just someone to listen .

Women always use their feeling or their heart when they trying to solve their problem or anything  , but men always use their logic . It is why women always feel hurt rather than men .

Although , Women and men are difference , their differences was attractive. when the men were hard , the women were soft ,. When the men were angular , the women were round . Where the men were cool , the woman were warm . In a magical and perfect way , the differences seemed to complement each other . And the difference makes everything become more beautiful and wonderful J.

A unique naming tradition

Naming a baby is important for parents . For some people, giving a name for their baby should follow the tradition that applicable in their society . There are many ways to give a tradition name for baby around the world.  Giving a name of baby who followed the tradition ,  usually has its own meaning . The name given to a baby can include the level of caste , family name , patrilineal system etc .  Naming tradition makes it possible for someone to never lose their honorary title . Do your parents follow ancient naming tradition or modern names ? Do you have a name who followed a tradition ? .

  A tradition name not only given to new baby born , When a girl getting married , their name could change . They usually attach their husband’s name in their first name or their last name . Given a tradition name in every region is different and unique . For example , In South Korea , wife’s name unchanged eventhough she is married .The wife keep their family name .  

For example , Miss Park Bo Young married to Mr Lee jong suk , The name of Miss Park  not change to Mrs Lee . Different from Japan , After married , The first name of wife follow their husband name .

Indonesia also has a naming traditions . There’s a lot of naming tradition , for example in javanese , javanese do not usually have family names or surnames . some people only have a single name . For example Sukarno,Suharto . Javanese names may come from traditional javanese languages , many of which are derived from sanskrit . In Bali , naming tradition also based on the order of birth. The first child usually given the name “ Wayan “ , The second child usually named“ Made” , The third , usually named “Nyoman or Komang” . And the fourth usually named “Ketut” . Sometime , in Bali giving a name based on level of caste . Brahmana caste , usually named “ Ida Bagus” for boy , “Ida Ayu” for girl . Ksatria caste usually named “ I gusti , I dewa , Dewa ayu “ . Waisya caste usually named “ ngakan , sang , si “ . Sudra caste have no honorary title  , they only giving a name based in the order of birth . Interesting and unique , isn’t it ? 

My best baby's name

Everyone has a name , and I’m sure that you have a name too . If you ask everybody in this world , I’m sure 100% they have a name . Everyone has a story behind their name . Why their parents give they that name . Some parents give their baby’s name with full of meaning or their hope to their baby . But sometimes , some people doesn’t like their name . There are many reason behind that . Such as weird , too long , and so on . Sometimes , they get bully from their friends because their weird name . Sometimes , they doesn’t like their name because their name looks like a man . Like what happend to me . Since elementary school , I feel weird with my name “ Putri Candra Kusuma “ . “Putri” mean Princess or daughter , “Candra” mean moon , “Kusuma” mean the flower . Actually I like my name . But my middle name usually for boy . Why my parents put that in my middle name ? It’s because they already prepared that name for their baby boy and they want to give that name for him . I’m sure they give me the best name but I still feel weird . Besides on my experience , in the future , I’ll think twice when I give a name for my baby . Probably I will give my favourite western name , such as Ariana , Selena , Sofia or for boy are Zayn , Jacob , Julian . But I will give meaningful name for my baby . Oneday , if I have a baby boy , I’ll give him a name “ Muhammad “ Because I hope he has good aqida like our prophet Muhammad saw . But if I have a baby girl , I’ll give her a name “ Jasmine “ because jasmine has a white colour and that is symbol of purity , and I hope my baby has a pure heart forever . So, are you already prepared the best name for your baby ? .
