"More good women have been lost to marriage than to war, famine, disease & disaster."

Cruella

[TheStormIsShe🦋 @mariahchips]

@daddyknosi @Solphendukaa He took the time to kill not 1 but 3 ppl, he had enough time to plan this and book a one way ticket to Africa. He regrets nothing. This is a face of someone who wishes he had a better escape plan. He feels nothing for those 3 ppl he intentionally hurt

[#32Chainz🤴🏾 @ragnar_alwyn]

Imagine if women killed men and their children each time they caught them cheating 🤦🏾‍♂️

[TheStormIsShe🦋 @mariahchips]

@GeneralBauer3 Most men cannot stand rejection, most are not raised in love, cannot emotionally regulate. It may be upbringing & growing up in a society where women shingirira/ bekezela in marriage. Women work now, we have financial freedom to walk away. The men find it hard to accept.

[TheStormIsShe🦋 @mariahchips]

@Mamoxn I'm imagining the last few minutes of those kids' lives as they realised their father was a monster. The fear & pain they felt as he took their lives one after the other. He deprived them of a life, how cruel & selfish to play God. I always say our men don't know how to coparent

[TheStormIsShe🦋 @mariahchips]

@Collins847 @TheLifeZoomer No one grows up just like everyone, some kids are hugged n shown love, some are not, some experience immense trauma which is not visible to the public. The human psychosis indeed complex. Some are just born evil, others lack emotional regulation from childhood.

[TheStormIsShe🦋 @mariahchips]

@SANDEJAQ @TheLifeZoomer @VMusinachirevo Most psychopaths don't feel guilt or shame. Inorder to understand the human psychosis u need to appreciate that not everyone feels what you feel. He took 3 lives, he had enough time to think in-between each k*kling. Most don't have a conscience that's why they are dangerous

[TheStormIsShe🦋 @mariahchips]

@TheLifeZoomer We live among psychopaths/ sociopaths. These ppl hold respectable positions in society, can actually coach your child's football team. You never truly know that you are sleeping with an enemy. Also lack of emotional regulation from birth, trauma or simply pure evil resides in ppl

[TheStormIsShe🦋 @mariahchips]

@Mpumiln Maybe he is a sociopath, incapable of emotional regulation & believed if he couldn't have her noone else could. Maybe he was more worried about his image than his own family that's why he calculated, bought a ticket n ran. Sometimes u r married to a monster without knowing it.

[TheStormIsShe🦋 @mariahchips]

@penkendrick You don't know how sociopaths behave, they can morph/shapeshift. The fact that he not only unalived 1 but 3 pple n took time t book a plane ticket tells you everything. He is the type who says if I can't have you noone else will. Funny how you feel sorry for an abuser not victim

@GeneralBauer3 Yes, the prefrontal cortex fully develops around 25/26.

In a new video, Jo Frost, aka Supernanny, warns that some modern parents are hindering their kids’ independence by choosing short-term convenience over teaching basic life skills.

The Instagram post featuring the video is filled with comments from teachers agreeing with her that it’s a growing concern.

Disclaimers:
1. This is long and self centered (typically 😅).
2. I don't get paid by X

I cannot imagine a life devoid of stories by:
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Nigeria)
Ngugi Wathiongo (Kenya)
Khaled Hosseini (Afghanistan)
Claire Hajaj (Palestine et al)

And even though I've intentionally chosen to focus less on western literature,
I can't imagine a life without stories by:
Charles Dickens,
Danielle Steele,
George Orwell

Guys,
Please read as diversely as possible.
It will open your mind.
Growing up Zimbabwean libraries were packed with literature from all over the world.
I read pacesetters from Nigeria,
Followed dramas from Sweet valley High in the USA,
Followed the Hardy boys,
Nancy Drew,
And read about British summers as told by Enid Blyton.
I was born and raised in semi-rural Gwanda - Zimbabwe,
But as a child,
Just from reading and films- I had the worldview of someone who was extensively well traveled.

South African films like "Asinamali" and "Sarafina" conscientised me about the evil that was apartheid just across the border,
We would sing about Nelson Mandela,
When SA got Independence,
My friends and I were ecstatic at only 10 years old.

I'm currently reading "The Arsonist's city by Hala Alyan,
Through it I'm understanding more about life in Lebanon and Syria,
Which gives me context about the current crisis in the middle East.
Now,
When I hear Israel has bombed Beirut yet again,
I understand that at a deeper level than before I read novels written by survivors of that violence and their descendants.

Just last week I reviewed "The poisonwood bible by Barbara Kingsolver,
It's just a story about a couple and their 4 daughters,
But it's set in Congo and talks about the assassination of Patrice Lumumba,
And the hand of Belgium, France and the USA in the destabilization of Congo.
From reading it I can clearly see the third hand in the current crisis in the DRC.
And from reading it,
I now understand why we have so many Congolese immigrants in Zimbabwe,
And I empathise with them.

Please read.
In a world where traveling isn't always feasible,
Reading books set in different countries
Is the next best thing.

@BarackObama @MichelleObama @ObamaFoundation Lucky kids, your community is blessed to have you. I wish my country's leaders would do this for the masses

@dabskays Lack of accountability and victim mentality is a disease in our society

1. Marriage won’t fix loneliness. Neither will kids, money, or sex.
