Most people know exactly what’s destroying them.
That’s the strange part. They aren’t guessing. They aren’t searching for answers. They’re already living with them.
Seneca observed, in his letters to Lucilius, that peace will never come to the man who refuses to declare war on the thing that’s destroying him. The thing you refuse to confront is the thing that will come to own you. And as long as it owns you, peace is simply not available.
Peace has a specific enemy. And you’re probably not guessing what it is. You already know.
A man who is overeating knows he is eating too much, the one who is drinking himself to death is not oblivious of that fact, the one whose penchant to chase skirts has turned him into a nuisance knows his own Achilles heel. The challenge is simple, most of us lack the will or the determination to stay away from the very thing that we know is contending with us for our peace
@GbengaWemimo This is so heartbreaking. I wish him well. This is the sort of thing that makes people not trust future partners. I pray he heals completely and finds a way to forge ahead.
@musingsofenigma@GbengaWemimo This your comment is inappropriate. A man married a woman and took her in with her children hoping to build a family. Where is the foolishness in that? He was betrayed and heartbroken and you are referring to him as a fool. Doesn't make sense to me why you will do that.
@bodex333@ab_jaliil He had that selfishness from the very beginning. During his first spell at ManU, it was the biggest complaint until he adjusted a little bit and started passing to other people to score. It is the clear difference between him and Messi.
@OzorNdiOzor While not endorsing any act of criminality that the boys may be involved in, I want to say that It's easy for the police to pressurize young boys (on camera) who probably are overwhelmed with youthful exuberance while our roads and farms are overrun with AK47 wielging Fulani men.
@GbengaWemimo Very well captured. Women are selfish and self centred. Society has also made it the burden of men to cater for women. The worst case is those women who rely on men for everything yet so entitled.
Men are generally more generous n very few women are liberal with their money.
