Sharing love in small ways 2...

At a point in my life,it was obvious I lost so many friends.Oh,but truly, life sucks at times...
The frequent phone buzzing,the numerous e-mails,the endless list of acquaintances and so-called friends who just appeared at your doorstep without invitation or prior notice simply disappeared.I suddenly did not matter anymore.A drama of betrayal unfolded before me and taught me that every scene in the act was the interpretation of the human world.A world void of true love and the gift of sharing love even in the smallest of ways.

A friend of mine was recently betrayed by someone he was helping out.So bad it was that his life was even threatened by the guy.You see,no matter how much we may want to judge bad behaviour and conclude that there is no good reward for bad behaviours,always remember that everything anyone does is done for a reason.People can be bullies in order to get their way,they can turn abusive,put others down,put up all sorts of behaviour just to get some kind of attention,be it positive or negative.The truth remains that human beigns seek for reward for every behaviour they exhibit.

When you find that people in your life are abusive or behave badly, you should be asking yourself: "What reward are they looking for from this behaviour?"; and once you determine the reward they seek ... make absolutely certain that you do not provide it for them in a way that can be interpreted as a reward for bad behaviour.Exactly,the action my friend took.I was challenged.

People should not be denied love because they have acted badly.The moment you reward a bad behaviour with outright punishment without first showing the one who acted badly that there is a better approach to life by exhibiting good character yourself,you put yourself in thesame level with him/her.Every man has a conscience and can actually tell the right from the wrong,we only most times rebel for the lack of love around us.Every child needs attention, show them how they can get it from you through good behaviour. Tell your boss or your spouse how they can get what they need from you by speaking kindly and with respect.It is simply about sharing love...

The world we live in is not dangerous because of the so many evil people in it.The world is dangerous because the so called good people just look on and do nothing about evil.Is there therefore,anyone who is truly good when we keep giving evil the upper hand in all spheres of life?Often times we fail to respond to kind words nor even praise good behaviour,thereby making it seem like treading on good paths is sheer waste of time and so unconsciously but surely we force our family and friends to take the bad paths always.

"People do what works!"...When we, in our own small ways share love by showing good behaviour and using kind words really works,bad behaviour and abusive language will become extinct.

Take a deep breath before you say that next word...

The Empowered woman

I think being a woman,I mean a real woman is one of the hardest things ever!. You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'. The real woman is that person that makes everything difficult seem easy.She is a hard worker,faithful friend and partner,a good manager,a home maker,a lover,a confidant,a mother,a sister,a daughter,a visioneer...Someone,may say,"Yea, ok...I'm not a mother or I'm single and so does that make me not a real woman?Of course not!. Age,class,status,beauty or achievements do not define a real woman,but character does. I can't but wonder at the stories we hear these days about women.I marvel at the rate of evil perpetuated by women in our society.Prostitution is old wives tale but when women are involved in armed robbery,kidnappings,terrorism,gang rape,adultery,fraud to mention a few,then by a...

The Career Woman

I stumbled upon this beautiful article on IFP while researching on other stuff and thought to share it. It's a 4 minutes read. I totally agree with it. Gender equality seems to be the one issue that isn't going away. Many of us like to believe sexism is something that only plagued the workplaces of yesteryear, but unfortunately it still exists. Don't believe us? Well, in 2016 just 57% of the world's  working-age women  were in employment, compared to 70% of their male counterparts. And even the females who were in work were struggling to catch up with the men. Women with  full-time jobs  still earn only about 77% of their male counterparts' earnings. Of course, the issue is complex and many expect that because most countries have made it illegal to pay women less than men, that gender inequality has fixed itself. However, problems surrounding  unconscious bias , parental leave, and outdated stereotypes about gender roles persist in the workplace. But what are th...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
