But how could you live and not have any story to tell? - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

[Honesty Etta @smartnesty10]

Are you living a lie?
Are you a walking contradiction?

You saturate your status updates with Bible verses and reels of pastors declaring the word, but the word has little to no effect on your life, as you live it on a daily basis.

You portray yourself as a paragon of ...

I watched Messi play football.

For that reason alone, I will never see "exceptional" in anything Cristiano Ronaldo has done. I don't care to.

Messi is the standard. Maybe not your standard, but he is mine. And by that standard, what the other guy has done simply doesn't cut it.

I'm not undermining his career. I'm putting it into the context of other greats.

Goals? Pele scored over a thousand.

Longevity? Messi is 39 and still in the eyes of any sane person a better footballer than the 39-year-old version of Ronaldo.

I'm not acknowledging a "greatness" that exists only because people are obsessed with comparison. Remove comparison, and there is only one greatness to be acknowledge in football: Lionel'

And if we must consider others, there are better names to consider before Cristiano: Zidane, Pele, Maradona, real Ronaldo, Cruyff.

Each of those men possessed something so singular that you struggle to find it in more than one or two players, dead or alive.

You cannot say the same for Cristiano Ronaldo. So what about him is exceptional to acknowledge?

Your first attempt might not be very good, but nobody's early work is good. There will always be a gap between where you are and where you want to be. And the bridge between that gap is courage. The courage to look foolish in the beginning. The courage to show up again when your early work is criticized. The courage to look yourself in the mirror and say, "I realize I'm not good enough yet, but the only way to get better is to keep working on it."

I've not seen it yet but I can bet my left testicle - someone somewhere is tweeting about Ycee's projected networth and how Peller is 20x richer than Ycee so Ycee is jealous.

I am sure.

A culturally bankrupt society whose source of validation comes from asslicking the wealthy.

No Ideological compass. No guiding principle. No strength. Just "I get money pass you".

A congregation of fools, from whence no progress is in sight.

You know why sane societies thrive out here? Because people don't fucking care what you have.

The concept of human dignity exists. Even the poor will stand tall in the face of the wealthy and battle opinion for opinion.

Phones are merely for calls. Cars are merely for transportation. Not status symbols.

Until the day you decentre ranking people and prioritising their opinions based on the depths of their pockets - you will always be bottom feeders.

It took me a while to accept that maybe, just maybe, I am actually good at writing and perhaps even better at thinking because writing clearly is a function of thinking even more clearly. Even then, that acceptance is a fragile thing. There are days when people compliment my writing and I feel like an impostor, like someone who accidentally wandered into a room he was never meant to be in and is only a few moments away from being found out.

I have learned not to wrestle with those days anymore because I suspect they will remain a permanent part of my life for as long as I continue to write. Perhaps this is the price of caring deeply about a craft: your standards grow faster than your confidence ever will. The beautiful thing, however, is that I no longer mistake those feelings for reality.

For the record, I'm not anti-marriage.

I'm strongly pro marriage because it is the bedrock of society. Without marriages and by extension, stable families, society decays and everyone ultimately suffers.

I care about society. Not because I am altruistic or anything, but because I need a functional, conducive environment for my 3 sons to flourish in when I finally approve their arrival - which is why I, too, will be getting married very soon to one of the loves of my life.

What I am against, however, is approaching contemporary marriage with paradigms that no longer align with modern realities.

Culture has changed
Society has changed
The world has changed
Marriage has changed
And women, being the liberal gender, have changed

Yet men still approach marriage with assumptions inherited from a different era by applying outdated preconceptions to an institution whose incentives, risks, expectations, and social conditions have fundamentally shifted.

Everything has changed
Women have adapted

But men have not. And that is the part I do not like

Everybody now talks about football.

Even people that never watched football till this era of social media. I don’t blame you people.

The fact that emotions and sentiments can make you people totally disregard the concept of nature shows a lot of foolishness!

That he used to score so many goals doesn’t mean he’ll keep scoring so many goals for the rest of his life.

There’s a reason People who came before him are no longer playing, it’s called Age! Age!! Age!!!

Y’all have this unbelievable mentality that he is so different and therefore, age won’t and shouldn’t affect him😂😂

Duh!!!

But how does she "become one with you"?

Unless she's a siamese twin and you both are physically connected at the brain, by what mechanism do two separate human beings become one?

It is biologically impossible
It is scientifically unfounded
It is legally unrecognised
It is logically incoherent

So what exactly is happening

Is it juju?
Is it magic?
Is it metaphysics?
Is it some hitherto undiscovered branch of alchemy?

What is it and how does it happen?

How does regurgitating a bunch of meaningless vows and sliding a metal ring on your finger, fuse two distinct human beings into a single entity?

And if those 'vows' really transform two people into one, what happens when she cheats on you with her ex's?

You feel their thrusts in your stomach too? You gay?

What about if you guys divorce?

Does one then split back into two?

Is there a metaphysical division taking place?

How does the arithmetic resolve itself?

Or are you just vomiting what the culture has fed you with all your life?

If your house is 100% hers despite her contributing zero to it, would her house also be 100% yours?

Would she see it that way? Would you be regarded as "oga of the house" in a house rented, furnished and maintained by your wife?
