I have one hobby - for the last 15 years I've spent at least 10 minutes per day reading BBC News. I think this is a good investment to learn something new and at the same time practice English. I loved today's article:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50266957
I read it with curiosity that was completely not related with my infertility. But when I came across these lines regarding tips how to live a kinder life:
"Include someone who is on the sidelines. By doing this, you have valued
them - it's dehumanising to go through life unnoticed, unwanted and
unloved."
The words struck me. I realized why it has been so hurtful to go through life unnoticed and excluded - just because I am a childless woman. I stopped counting how many times I was excluded from conversations just because some people assume I have nothing to say (just because I don't have children of my own).
Definition: "It is dehumanising" - is so strong but at the same time so very true.
Yes, this is true indeed - and gives me another AHA moment :-).
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Klara!
Dear Klara, I totally agree with this statement! Thanks a lot for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou are not unnoticed to all of us who are reading your blog :-)
xoxo
I totally agree with this. Did you know that Sarah on Infertility Honesty writes a lot about how dehumanising it is to go through life where her reality is ignored?
ReplyDeleteI also love this post because I love your practice of reading English for 10 minutes a day. I should be doing this with Spanish - or maybe French, or Chinese ... argh, I can't decide! lol
