Men don't feel pain???

He smiled. The pain stayed quiet.

A woman endures nine months but a man burns for his entire life. A woman endures pain once but a man lives by cutting his body every day.
Because a man does not feel pain
Have you ever seen a body hanging on an electric pole that is continuously burning to coal due to high voltage?
Have you ever met a man who was born in a cold city of Pakistan but ends his youth working in the scorching deserts of Arabia and dies of diseases some time after returning to Pakistan?
Have you ever seen a man who listens to people talking to each other for a few pennies every day, hears such sarcasm and such phrases that a woman demands divorce after hearing it once?
Have you ever seen a fruit vendor's cart overturned by the municipality?
Have you ever seen those laborers sitting on the road who stand around a vehicle like madmen when it stops, thinking that maybe if they get a wage, they will send four paise home?
Have you seen laborers carrying heavier loads than donkeys from market to market?

Have you seen men standing in front of the stove all day long in hotels, tandoors and tea houses during the scorching heat of June and July and the muggy weather of August?

Have you ever seen sweat glistening on the forehead of a respected person listening to the scolding of his boss in a cold office?

Have you ever met a businessman whose millions of rupees have sunk and with a sinking heart he is thinking of replenishing them again?

Do you know why there are more men among those who die from heart attacks and blood pressure? Why are men dying from heart attacks at a young age?
You know, in addition to hepatitis and stomach diseases, most of those who go to dialysis after eating market food are men who eat lunch from a cheap stall so that they can save four paisa in the evening and take some home.

Do you know why all this is?

Because...
These are the men who bear the burden of your nine-month ordeal for the rest of their lives. These are the men who suffer much more throughout their lives than what you endured for nine months and made a mockery of their entire lives.
Do you know how a man buries his entire life's suffering inside himself so that you and the child you gave birth to can live a peaceful life?
Will you ever know that a man works his entire life to support your nine-month labor until old age?
Have you ever been to a wedding? Have you ever seen a man's dress more expensive than the clothes, jewelry, etc. of his wife and children?

This is the same man who earns but keeps his clothes cheaper than his wife. Sometimes take out old photos and look at them. At weddings, most men's pantsuits will be seen in the same color for the past several years. How many women's clothes are like this?

Sometimes take a calculator and calculate, how much does a man spend if he is alone?
Three meals a day, four suits of the season, a room to sleep in at night, a bed and at most a few cigarettes or cups of tea...

Yes, both men and women have physical needs, but a free man can get this for a while for a few hundred or a thousand. In this society, if a man is free, he does not need a lot of money. A man's money is dedicated to the life that takes nine months of hard work and is born as a result of this hard work. A man tortures himself throughout his life to maintain this one relationship.

A woman suffers for nine months but a man burns for his entire life. A woman suffers pain once but a man lives by cutting his body every day. A woman gives blood to her children from her body, while her husband gives his soul for the children. A woman gives birth to a child, while a man raises the entire generation. A woman becomes a mother in nine months, but a man becomes a father in an instant and remains a father for life.
