3Ds: B4 U SAY YES

The recent explosion of social-media networks on the Internet has brought to the
fore deficiency in a very vital element of human relationship: which is close-up-
one-on-one contact.

Today, so many IT savvy people have formed the habit of going online in search of
friendship, companionship, business partnership and sundry relationships.

Because of the length of time they spend online, this has left many users of such
sites especially youths, with faint knowledge about the dynamics of human nature
and or characteristics on a personal one on one level.

With this trend comes in various challenges of groping in the dark: because the
person one may be dealing with at the other end, may well be phony in real life.

Hence, before one should say yes to any partnership proposal, be it for marriage,
friendship, or business with anybody;  be it online or offline; it is imperative to
look deeply before plunging into the relationship-pool.

It should be borne in mind that, in our contemporary social interactions, image packaging is upheld in inter-personal relationships rather than “reality portrayal.”

This latest human phenomenon has lured almost all of us into concealing our real selves towards attaining set targets through others: via portrayal of false personalities in social circles.

It is therefore with this in mind that 3D principle was evolved to serve as a proactive guide towards unraveling the true personalities of those who wish to partner with us in any form of relationship in our lives.

It should however, be borne in mind that 3Ds does not contain a list of exhaustive measures to be deployed in discovering human characteristics via psycho analytical techniques.

Rather, it is principally aimed at giving an insightful start up in a journey of discovering the divergent motive-force of that creature made by God, called the human being.

In the main, anytime we wish to allow a new person into our lives, it is absolutely necessary to discover his/her 3Ds before we say yes. These are:


1)         DRIVES

Just like in Information Technology, drives forms the main elements that gives life to any appliance be it Printer, Camera, Projector etc; as a functional interface with our Computers.

In humanity the same thing applies: Our actions and or in-actions are all driven by forces or spirits that could easily be classified into positive and or negative:

Positive Drives

a)   Positive spiritualism (Devotion to the commands of the Almighty)
b)   Conscience
c)    Imbibed positive knowledge
d)   Positive cultures
e)   Spirit of Sacrifice for others
f)     Spirit of Productivity
g)   Spirit of self denial
h)   Spirit of compassion
i)     Universality
j)     etc

Negative Drives
a)   Devil
b)   Self
c)    People
d)   Trends
e)   Negative circumstances
f)     Poverty of the mind
g)   Pride
h)   Negative cultures
i)     Obsession for material wealth
j)      Obsession to life
k)    Hedonism (Obsession for fun)
l)      Being Religious (outward portrayal of sectorial belief as against true devotion to God)

With these and even so much more other human drives in mind, it behooves on us to find out what type of spirit that is driving those that we come across in our lives: this would serve as proactive measures to forestall future pains and angsts.

2) DEFICIENCY

While it is true that those we come across may portray polished and or modern personalities, it is very necessary to dive into their mind to discover hidden deficiencies lurking therein.

This step is absolutely necessary, because these deficiencies will sooner than latter, blossom into obstacles that could hinder the smooth running of the relationship. These are:

a)   Spiritual deficiency
b)   Intellectual deficiency
c)    Physical/Mental health deficiency
d)   Material wealth deficiency
e)   Character
f)     Personality
g)   Social skills
h)   Emotional stability

3) DREAMS

a)   Selfless and capable to pursue the dreams
b)   Selfless but incapable of pursuing the dream
c)    Selfish dreams but harmless to others
d)   Selfish dreams but harmful to others
e)   Symbiotic dreams (to give and take)
f)     Personal development dreams
g)   Dreamless

It is certainly true that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, hence what is ok for one person may not be so to others: Thus, it is absolutely necessary for us to know what type of partner we desire in the different facets of our lives. Find below my personal Ideal 3Ds. Yours might defer though:

IDEAL 3Ds

1)DRIVES:

Positive Spiritualism:
  • This is the best drive to find in a husband or wife.
  • These partners are not hypocritical about their relationship with their maker; and hence they have inner stability to weather the storm of life
  • They are very reliable in any sort of relationship.
  • They are very much likely to have nearly all the other positive drives in their personalities.

2)DEFFICIENCY

Spiritual Deficiency
  • This is the worst deficiency one may find in any partner for any type of relationship. 
  • This person has the likelihood of being deficient in all facets of his/her life 
  • Avoid anyone found to lack a strong bond with the Almighty except if what is required is an alliance with someone to carry out evil.

3) DREAMS

Symbiotic Dreamer
  • This dreamer is an achiever who has a balance of both spiritual and material dreams
  • The person knows what it takes to get from others and how to give back to humanity
  • This character trait plays out in any form of relationship they may find themselves

POSTSCRIPT

No matter the drives, deficiency, or dreams obtained in our future partners, it is not possible to find a perfect human being.

What is however critical in choosing our partners is to identify what we do not want in; and can’t tolerate in others:

By so doing, we stand a chance to overlook the outward looks of the person: which we shall ultimately get used to over time.

It is also absolutely necessary to have a vision of what type of family one wants to form; and to seek for a person with requisite qualities to fill up key responsibilities therein.

It should also be borne in mind that some deficiencies can form the basis for our resolve to shower selfless love to others; to reach out to make a positive difference; but without the intention of changing the person.

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

Tired of giving!

Oops!it's been rain rain rain in this part of my world for the past one week.At times it can be really annoying,especially when you have planned a fun day and the rains come pouring down making the ground all wet and irritating.If there is anything I love to do,it is shopping.I had planned to go shopping and the rain wouldn't just go away so I threw caution to the wind and grabbed my little umbrella.Out in the rain I went,quickly hailed a cab and zoomed to the market. The entrance to the market was something else.Obviously like me,the rain couldn't deter so many people.People were milling around everywhere,even beggars sat put in their positions begging for alms from all who passed them.One of them particularly caught my attention.Unlike others he was standing,his buttons were all undone and I saw something like a rope connected to his navel,tracing the end,I saw something like a drip or something but some kind of satchet with some content in it in his hand and then there w...

Why do they keep staring?

In these few years God has blessed me with on earth,I have seen so many things:the good,the bad,the ugly.I am so curious about men and their way of thinking.He is driving on the road,he is looking,in the office,he is looking,in the park,he is looking,even in church he is looking...Chei!what is it?.He gladly boasts that every man is wired that way,he couldn't be different. Ladies,have you ever been looked at by a guy so badly that you almost puked?There are those whose stares make you feel like smacking them behind and saying,don't be silly!.There are others whose stares make you feel embarrased and uncomfortable but there are those who make you feel like a queen made to be worshipped.Hahah...yea,I know that feeling...hey,don't worry the feeling is mutual.I like it too.I mean who doesn't want to feel wanted?. However,I am particularly curious about why some men just go bonkers at the sight of a woman.Why his nose will trace a perfume to the owner?Why his mouth will hang ...
