Words Are Indispensable

This Write up Broke Me My heart is broken and I will spill my grief here. Our society loves to play hush hush on everything. We pamper violence, abuse and the outright violation of the rights of vulnerable persons. And you know what else we do? We blame the devil for the sexual violence and abuse perpetrated against defenseless children. We pray and curse the predators who molest innocent children but forget to ask for justice. We create an environment where children live in fear because they have no one to turn to knowing they will be hushed/silenced. We stand in our religious gatherings and honour perpetrators of these crimes. We even enthrone them to high positions in the society, and accord them the respect they do not deserve. We make the classrooms and schools a living hell for young girls and boys who are abused by caretakers and teachers. We play along and we act like we do not see the fear in the eyes of these children. You know what else we do? We are quick to blame vi

  Hey!Hold on a bit!!Who says men don't or shouldn't cry?Men, just like women, are human,flesh and blood.Man was first created by God,no doubt,to be the head of the family, to support, provide, love amongst other duties which I am sure does not include pretending to be a rock and refusing to show emotions.Even the Bible is full of crying men;Jeremiah, David,Jacob,Samuel etc.Oh and even Jesus wept,remember? Crying is one of the few human universals. It is a manifestation of strong emotions, not just sadness or grief but also extreme happiness. Crying is not a sign of weakness and why should it be morally wrong? Who gets hurt if a man cries? Crying for every little thing when you are an adult is probably a sign of mental distress, but in response to strong emotions is perfectly normal. The gender one belongs to is irrelevant; it is perfectly human to cry. We cause so much harm trying to bring up men who live in denial of their emotions and feelings. The effect of this is that

     Her First Love Judith was crazy,annoying, stubborn even weird but when it came to her love life,she was the most caring and loving partner anyone could ask for. They weren't two or three;they were uncountable, but she loved them all,although the possibility of loving some more than the others was there.Everywhere she went,she had one of them with her;she tried not to be with more than one at a time for obvious reasons. They all had their diverse duties;some had the duty of making her laugh when she had several reasons to cry.Some had the duty of taking her through painful nights. Some taught her refreshing things about life she never knew. Yet,some others were simply there because she loved them.She took very good care of them and they in turn,loved her immeasurably. She had a certain degree of faithfulness and respect for each of them, thus they were not threatened by each other's presence. If she was with any of them,she took him everywhere she went until the tempora

When I was a child,I was dying to grow up and show the world what I could do. When I got to High School, I was dying to finish and get into the university. When I finally did,I was dying to graduate ,get into the world and prove myself. Then I was dying to marry and have children of my own. And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough so that I could go back to work. When I went back to work, I was dying to retire from the stress of life. Now I'm retired and now I'm "Dying" and I suddenly realized...I forgot to live. To make money,we lose our health and then,to restore our health,we lose money. We live as if we are never going to die and then, we die as if we never really lived. No matter what, refuse to live like this! Live with the future in view but learn to live in the Now. Today is the only gift we have,that is why it is called the "Present".  Hello y'all... First Post;Happy New Month
