I have the Power

He is happily married. His wife is married and he is happy, a joke he commonly uses to tickle your funny bones. My sense of humor is too dry, I guess, to manage a smile, though. Or could be I am too dumb to get enlightened by his way of living. Now, before you get me wrong, I am no judge of morality. “To each his own” has been my philosophy. After all, the doctor prescribes different medications to different patients despite them suffering from the same ailment. So what works for me need not work for you. And that is more than fine for me in most cases.
But my problem is the intent of this educated soul to impose his ideology, shamelessly, amongst all, more aggressively than how certain hardliners brain-wash their recruits. Coming to his ideology, it is simple and based on animalism, and various ‘isms’ to entangle. He believes a man is born to enjoy the carnal pleasures of life with multiple partners of the opposite sex. Feelings of love and loyalty are alien to his kingdom. All that exist is lust, more the merrier. He proudly declares, “What is a man if he doesn’t cheat his partner?”
Marriage is merely a routine you get into. Good enough to give you the window of free sex if you haven’t been lucky with your hunt, that day. “Atleast your wife is there to please you,” he says. Wives are not anything more than maids, who cleans-cooks-washes- entertains you at all times. Gives you, your children to secure your lineage and carry the surname ahead. And if she is good looking, well, that’s a bonus. Atleast you have a pretty looking maid whom you open your eyes to, every morning. Because come what may, despite the night proceedings, no man should wake up in somebody else’s bed. No man should ever be caught with his pant downs in an unknown house. What is a man if can’t manage his flings?
Never should the women in his life raise their voices. They are there to serve the mankind in every form. While a man enjoys, the woman should keep to her house. No questions to be asked, no fuss to be made, just mind their business and be good in bed.
If you think, his wife wasn’t aware of his pearls of wisdom. You’ll be taken by surprise. She knew his every move but was trained not to react. She is beautiful, educated and fits in the profile of a lifelong companion. But it didn’t matter, because more than an individual, she was the Wife.
“Men don’t know how to control their wives. Look at mine, dare she opens her mouth. I’ll kick her happiness and throw her out,” he would brag, often. To most he gave free lessons on managing wives. And nobody could tell him that he was wrong because he had every logic to counter you.
His wife suffers his silence, pretending ignorance. She says ignorance gives her blissful nights, with sleep and the hope that her husband would mend his ways.
And if you ask her why doesn’t she protest, all she says, “What to do? I am married.”
