This is not even about a grandma’s love for her grandkids. In African culture, when you are chasing a child and he or she runs to an elderly person for refuge, it is automatically assumed that the child is safe and you should respect the elderly person. The grandma, being an elder at that point, will ask what the child did. She will either caution the child there or hand the child back to you for punishment, depending on the offence. But in order to maintain that elderly status and respect, she will most likely plead on behalf of the child and ask for pardon.

The lady was very disrespectful to even attempt to flog the child after he had already run to the grandma. At that point, she should have just turned back, and if she still needed to discipline the child, it should have been done later and without the knowledge of the grandma, who would likely find it even more disrespectful that after granting pardon, the punishment was still carried out.

We all witnessed this growing up. I know our culture is gradually being eroded, but we can’t allow it to disappear. Despite how some elders have turned out in present times, we still have to accord morally upright ones the respect they deserve. We will all be elders someday too.

This is why the shift to everyone hating each other has been so hard for millennials.

Many of us went to diverse schools where everyone basically got along. Sure, jokes were made & bad people existed, but there was a general code of respect.

Social media + rage bait ruined that

Dude he lived in a cave for 7 years during the cultural revolution.

The people he’s shaking hands with were spoiled rich kids who never faced real hardship before.

For some reason I haven't seen any "Black Femicide" articles and online septum ring rants about this. I guess Klay was a worse villain in their minds.

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”

The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

Women are socially conditioned to be beneficiaries of male inconvenience, not contributors to male convenience.
At restaurants, in buses, in homes, in offices, every time someone goes out of their way for someone, it is almost always a female on the benefiting end of that sacrifice. Society, and that is you, the men, at every level of interaction with the female, positions them as the ultimate beneficiaries of people’s inconvenience.
Women, therefore, are only truly made to understand, and are demanded for the first time through romantic relationships, that a certain level of inconvenience must be allowed on their part. And most women don't know what these inconveniences look like.
Relationship and marriage become the first time a woman, certainly after two decades on earth, is made to see that she too must suffer for the sake of someone other than herself. And most women, especially in modern times, collapse under this revelation.
Most women cannot be tangibly good - to men, to other women, nor to themselves - because such service, throughout their adolescence and into adulthood, was never taught to them as relational responsibility but as a prerogative.

I think one thing I appreciate about masculine men is that there are certain things we don’t even need to tell our wives not to post online, because they already understand the consequences of doing so.

The woman I married wouldn’t even think about posting this kind of nonsense online. She already knows what it could do to the marriage. When it comes to women,

There has to be a level of respect and awareness of boundaries, including the understanding that actions can have serious consequences, even leading to divorce over foolish behavior.

They attempted to speak over Joy Reid, but she wouldn't tolerate it; she was ready to state the facts whether they approved or not. The United States has tried this in various countries around the world, but it never ends well.
