A Story on Society

Hmmmm, I have a thought to share. This was born out of grief. Just yesterday I had to fill out a form online for a foreign Fellowship (NB not the Christian or religious gathering you would associate the Word with) I applied for. I got to the point where it required me to fill out my Gender, that shouldn't be difficult compared to the other question I had previously been made to answer. Alright I proceeded to enter that information and it brought out a drop down menu. Okay... I said this shouldn't be hard. I saw "Male"  that's what I am so I punched away. But on a second thought I looked at the drop down menu again. "Ghen Ghen" (nollywood must have been working overtime just to play me that backing track associated with Climaxes) it turned out that they didn't just have two gender classes like I was taught in biology (which I did relatively well in as an Art student) it had four (4)  gender classes! Twisting my mouth to the side like I always do when my thoughts kick up a gear. I saw the traditional "Male", "Female " then... Wait for it." Transgender"😲  what does that even mean? Then the last new input was for people who would rather not say what they were. I'm like c'mon (I sound American when I am pissed) do we have new people who just recently jumped into existence or give credence to the Darwinian theory after countless decades of waiting for the newest species to walk the earth.
What point do we as a global society reach rock bottom to realize that when the lines of distinctions are blurred then we would be thrown into a state of mobocracy in addition to the commercialization of the society where everything is being altered just to get a new target demographic. If the society can not tell you what you are in straight language it is about time you move towards ageless and ancient truths that would not change based on society but change society. The human society is rigged to self implode. The End is near walk on the right side of Eternity.

Wishes

1) I wish no questions went unanswered.

2) But I wish that every question asked would be drawn from a depth of desire to know and not to disprove.

3) I wish that knowledge would not be an excuse for Ignorance nor Ignorance for the fear of knowledge.

4)I wish that idleness will not be the new social nor responsibility be regarded as anti-social.

5) When the lines of truth and falsity don't divide, I wish when I speak the truth it won't be regarded as just an opinion.

6) When lazy minds put knowledge aside, phrase a sentence, say they are content and as such not need to know the source. I wish they just apply themselves a bit more.

7) I wish that we took responsibility for each other because to blame you is to blame me. Why did we ever need a Bomb?

8) I wish that those who shout change would change, otherwise change is still on the way.

9) I sincerely wish the crowd was right, so that standing out of the crowd would mean believing a lie.

10) Finally I wish everybody reads this and understand my thoughts and find it to be true.

Good Men

Good men are indeed all around us. We pass them on the streets, engage them on social media, enter same public transport with them and the halls at work.

Some of us can't see them because we don't know what a good man really looks like.

He usually isn't flashy enough to turn our heads. He might not wear that Amaechi or Akpabio kind of suit or cruise a Bentley. He might not have a "body like Vin Diesel with a Will Smith face".

But, as you grow older and start attending church singles seminar, you’d realize it's better to find someone who's got your back than someone who turns your head.

A good man doesn't agree wholeheartedly with everything you say.

He doesn't just tell you what you want to hear and do the opposite. He has his own opinions and you may clash, but he doesn't have to degrade you to prove he's right.

He even admits at times to being wrong, especially if you are willing to do the same.

A good man is not going to meet every item on your checklist. He is human with frailties and faults mixed in with all of his wonderful, strong attributes. He needs your love and respect.

He needs to feel that you do not live to "catch" him doing something wrong so you can declare, "Aha! I knew you were a dog!"

A good man doesn't necessarily give you a huge birthday or Valentine's gift. He shows his love in the ways that are comfortable to him.

Don't judge him by TV standards. No one lives that fairy tale for real. You'll miss out on your own fairy tale by buying into the myth that our men are no good.
