That kinda mindset

 


Growing up when you do something nice for an elder thier prayer usually is "you will marry a rich husband" (chukwu ga enye gi di welu ego) we got programmed to think that the goal is "a rich husband" every now & then you hear things like  the beauty of a man is "his pocket " and the beauty of a woman is her character. 

"A woman's education ends in the kitchen " this is the mindset we grew up with. 

They taught us  that an "INDEPENDENT WOMAN" is a turn off or scares away suitors. 


A good woman must be dependent on her husband to provide all her needs. Its not ok to be "THE WEALTHY WIFE" etc


So today we have lots of untrained / mannerless young men devouring our well trained /well mannered daughters/ young women. 


We have our daughters who will only pay attention to a man if he is well to do and our sons who may make great husbands but are yet to make it financially can't find beffitting wives 😂


When we have trained our daughters to marry rich men who will marry our poor sons? 


Now we are stuck with daughters who can endure and are enduring immense toxicity/abuse in thier relationships/marriages because they can't provide for themselves or they believe that thats the way it should be. they have  watched thier mother go through same and thier own children will endure same and cycle continues

Negative Emotions

Strife. Jealousy, Anger! Greed, etc (wife stabs husban d to death this morning) Passion Crime What in the world could have caused this kinda act? I came to a conclusion "Negative Emotions" We would succeed more in life if we can train ourselves to discipline negative emotions. Anger, Strife, Jealousy is like Cancer, it eats you until there is nothing left (Holy Bible) I heard someone say "anger is small madness do nothing when you are angry because what you will damage will be more than what caused your anger" once I wrote the two kinda Pain in life. the Pain of discipline and the pain of Regrets. one weighs ounces (discipline) and the other Tons (pain of regret). It's hard enough to leave with oneself let alone with others. You wake up some-mornings and feel like you woke from the wrong side of the bed, friends we cannot go through life obeying our emotional impulses, these Feelings will always come. What makes you matured is learning to follow wisdo...
