How could you carry that woman on your back? We are monks, and are not allowed to touch women.” The monk who carried the women across the puddle on his back said: “I have left the woman at the other side of the puddle, but it seems that you are still carrying her on your back!”
Such a wonderful story
Two monks were walking from one village to another.
On their way, they arrived at a large puddle full of mud, which they had to cross. A young woman was standing at the brink of the puddle, not knowing what to do.
He took her on his back, and carried her to the other side of the puddle.
After crossing the puddle, the two monks continued walking silently for hours, until they reached their destination.
The other monk could not keep silent any longer and exclaimed:”
Abortion was illegal in Romania during communism. Abortions happened anyway just more women died, remained sterile, got scared for life physically and mentally.

Safe abortion care is essential to protect the health of women & girls everywhere.
Removing access to #abortion care will put more women & girls at risk of illegal abortions and the consequent safety issues that would bring https://t.co/tbsMFGQAn4
Cannot find one situation where my ego helped me. I can find hundreds though, where it hurt me.
And then I understood is part of my defense mechanism against vulnerability and the risk of…getting hurt. Twisted twisted ways.
