The thousand splendid sons
Ok i finally finished the book ,i didnt notice the time but ig imma sleep after prayers now
Ok my thoughts on this book:
Every human must read this book once in their lifetime i why because
to men it will somehow make them a bit kinder , and clear to how their behaviour affect the whole household , how for so many man be@ting their wifes is a way of “disciplining their wifes” and that they shouldnt do that because the book descibes how a women in that moment would feel and how to not use religion to mask their faults , ik a man thinking has certainly evolved from time to time and they may be more liberal but in alot of south asian countries esp pakistan and afghanistan , women still face these or atleast nearly the same treatment
For women id say it teaches you to stand up for yourself because in a manipulative household , physical w@unds are somehow less painfull then emotional torture but one shouldnt have to go through either , it teaches women to never rely fully on a man (tho maryam and laila never had a choice to begin with). It makes you feel more grateful about the life you are living, about your parents who love you so much , it teaches you how far a mother/parent can really go for their child ,and lastly to many the courage to leave their @busive marriage
I couldnt cry on the chapter when maryam was h@nged because i didnt get enough time to process it before starting the new chapter ,Maryam didnt deserve any of that , she left as a boss lady (idk if i should say hero because dont we use it for a guy?) i wish she wasnt h@nged for basically defending another human, atp it had to be survival instinct and i dont think Islam punishes a just murd@r ( please dont say murder js unjustifiable )
I hope i dont get b@nned and thankyou for reading alla5 , i spent 20 minutes writing allat
