“The Sound of My Mother’s Silence”
The Sound of My Mother’s Silence My mother has always been a quiet woman. Not the shy kind of quiet, nor the timid type that trembles before words — hers is a deliberate, almost sacred quiet.

In the remote village of Chakwal, life moved to the rhythm of seasons — the wind carrying the scent of wet soil and ripe wheat, and the canal’s gentle murmur providing a constant lullaby. Among the narrow mud-brick lanes lived Amma Farida, an 80-year-old mother whose strength and wisdom were known to all.

The Corruption of Childhood Innocence: How Modern Media Helped Rewrite the Family and the Iconic Berenstain Bears
There was a time when The Berenstain Bears stood for something good. It was a series that helped children understand responsibility, honesty, humility, and faith in simple, practical ways. The lessons were gentle and timeless. Papa Bear could be silly, but was never degraded. Mama Bear was steady, but without being domineering. Together they modeled respect, teamwork, and the kind of family order that reflected biblical truth: the father leads as the head, the mother respects and nurtures, and the children yield and learn.

Freedom Without Consequence: The Lie That Destroyed the Family
Modern society claims to champion equality, but when it comes to parenthood, the system could not be more unequal. The law grants women near-total control over reproduction while holding men accountable for outcomes they cannot influence.
