It’s a different time and a turbulent time in our society

With economic instability and high levels of unemployment, people have lost the urge to thrive as surviving is the only option. Overlooking their God gifted talents because the system did not create a platform to showcase their greatness. everyone sacrificing their dreams to settle what is on the table just to make ends meet, Nothing much, most of them resorted to the decision to choose a profession solely on the reasons of remuneration and not passions

A different time, A time where We are slowly losing Powerful men and Quality Women

Observations on Men

Men having it hard to maintain their masculinity and dominance, having it hard to contain their Power, because Power is competence and it’s very hard to be competent having no resources and being in the lowest tax bracket .everyone is tweeting in their homes on how you still a Powerful man regardless of your inability to provide, unending statements, which are a complete contrast of what is actually happening in the outside world. What truly transpires is continual pocket shaming and mockery of all men that had low income. What car do you drive? , where do you stay and what are your earnings? Constant questioning to check if you are a competent man. Who’s Fault was it when nature was never kind to these men? I GUESS the attestation “Men are not born with value and must earn it “is a true reflection of what happens in the real world. What separates boys from men, assets and competence! A reality that attacks the mental health of these men as this is what they have to deal with daily

“Depression is real, Vent out “- everyone tweeted .an urge to move Men from being powerful to feminine, but their natural ego would always whisper to these men when they try to transition “remember who you are “. A contrariety between nature and mass media

Observations on Women

A lot has changed, achieving Morality as a society was a far fetched goal

Women going naked on Socio Media hiding their ulterior motives with the apparent narrative of ‘expressing self ‘publicising sacred visuals for everyone to see. Poor economic conditions make these women being so hard on themselves on attaining their security but unconsciously lose themselves in the process, “You must be drunk if you think that I’m thinking of wifing you ,I might spend a night with you but definitely not a life with you “all these men having internal dialogues secretly.

I’m concluding these observations with these Solutions.

To all my Powerful Men

Depression is a feeling and not a fate. You are allowed a day of sadness then you got to keep it, gangsta bro. Don’t succumb to this game of life .keep playing even if odds are against you. Remember your identity and assignment

To all my Quality women

Get your security first and everything will follow .you don’t need to chase, just work on yourself and you will naturally attract. Value will always be found even in hidden places “Women are born with value and must preserve that value “

I hope we eventually get it right even in these turbulent times. A prosperous life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships. May you come out of this season as a better person
