On International Women's Day (March 8), what gift is most suitable for the women you love? I think it depends on each person's age and life, because each person's pursuit of happiness is very different. You cannot compare the gifts of poor people and rich people, 20-year-old people and 40-year-old people...
After all, gifts are just to make March 8 more joyful and each person's fate - life will have a different gift.
From the time "after the ceremony, I ate instant noodles" to "bringing money home to my wife"
When I was 20 years old, love was something very big. Touching the first emotion of life, I thought love was the sky, if lost it would be a collapse.
Back then, even though I was just a student, I still tried to buy a fresh bouquet of flowers to give to my lover and took my girlfriend out to eat street food.
I was a student at that time, and on March 8th I could only spend time with my girlfriend. After that holiday, I ate instant noodles for days because of the excessive spending.
Holidays passed by during my student life and the gifts for the girl I loved kept repeating the same sequence: "after the holiday, I eat instant noodles".
After graduating from college and starting a career, the money I earned also "upgraded" the gift for the woman I loved. I also "spent a lot" on buying gifts. Of course, at this time, I didn't just think about my girlfriend, I also thought about my mother, the woman who had spent her whole life for me.
At the age of 30, I got married, life changed a lot, and the pressure of life also increased. There was no longer the youthful love of hanging out together and then going home. When we got married, we moved in together, building our young family together. My gift also changed a lot.
When the 8-3 holiday passes, I often transfer money to my wife with the message "Happy 8-3, I just sent you a gift, buy whatever you want for your child". Perhaps at the age of over 30 and approaching 40, family stability is very necessary.
At this age, my wife also understands the hardships of life, she also doesn't want big bouquets of flowers like when we were dating because "why would you buy them, it's a waste".
At different ages and positions, gifts are also very different. For me, the greatest gift I give to the women I love at this time is "bringing money home to my wife and children". Because I am afraid of the poor life of my parents and my childhood, it is really scary.
My mother, the woman who never received a gift from her father in her whole life.
My mother - a woman who has never received a gift from her father on holidays. I have never heard my mother mention gifts even though it is a day for women all over the world. In the 1990s of the last century, my father left the poor village to go to Ho Chi Minh City to ride a cyclo.
My father left when I was only 3 years old. After 21 years of driving a cyclo, he left Saigon to return to his hometown on the day I graduated from university, ending his journey of hard work.
In the poor neighborhood of my hometown, all the men left the village to go to the South to earn a living, leaving only the wives to shoulder the burden of their young children. On March 8, October 20... I saw that no one cared. What the women needed most was a less miserable life.
Now, my family's life is much better, my brothers and I all have stable jobs. We often buy flowers for our mother on holidays, along with some money. Actually, the habit of sending her a little money instead of a gift comes from the life of poverty we have experienced.
Once I asked my mother, "Aren't you sad that Dad hasn't given you any gifts in his life?" My mother sat down and confided in her two daughters-in-law, saying, "You guys have stable jobs and money, so you still think about holidays and other things, but in my time, no one thought about holidays. We were poor, so the greatest gift for me was that Dad lived responsibly."
I suddenly realized that it was not my mother's time, but at this very moment, many friends in the countryside had difficult lives, and on holidays, both husband and wife still went to work together.
Holiday gifts are just after work, the couple stops by the market to buy something better than usual to bring home and cook for the whole family, no need for a bouquet of flowers or any big gift.
After all, there is no gift that is too big or too small. Perhaps the age-old saying "wealth gives rise to courtesy" is not wrong. People with a prosperous life will give the women they love a big and elaborate gift on holidays.
People with difficult lives simply have a peaceful day like any other day. The greatest gift for them is the man who walks by their side, lives responsibly, and makes efforts for his wife and children.
What gift to give to the woman you love?
During the holidays, I think every man wants to give the woman he loves gifts. If we compare gifts to happiness, it is impossible to compare. The super rich, the tycoons, the well-off, intellectuals, workers, farmers... will have different gifts, similar to the life they are experiencing.
What gift should you give the woman you love on March 8th? If the woman is not thoughtful and sympathetic enough to see glamorous pictures online of someone receiving gifts from their lover, husband, children... and tells her man that it is a reproach, unintentionally putting pressure on her poor man.
So, just look at your life and the peace and happiness you have is the most precious gift.
