TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN..

Have you ever wondered why in rough estimate poor people are more closer to God than the rich ? Isn't it suppose to be the other way around?  Shouldn't the rich praise God for He favours them while the poor to blame God for their miseries?? Obviously this is not the way it should be.

The statements i have made above are not necessarily true. I have no evidence to back them up. This is why i am not comfortable making such  general statements. I have however noted that this happens to me a lot. Allow me to tell you how and why,

Since i live alone in my own house i am am bound to experience days when i have a healthy budget while some days i experience shortages mainly for lack of good planning. I have noted with great concern that days when i am broke i feel closer to God than days when my pockets are full.

For the past few months when i had sufficient money i forgot about God. I never noticed anything unusual at all even for the fact that i was lacking in my devotion to God. I was not entirely focused when i prayed and i lacked the general drive to get closer to God.

You might be asking why i am telling you this. Last week i misused some of my money and for the first time i felt broke. This time i remembered God. My focus returned and i was really devoted when i prayed. Am left to wonder if i am hypocritical at times. Have u had a similar experience before?

When things are good and smooth we tend to forget God. Even if we pray we do the half hearted, hurried prayers. wait until things go south!! This is when we remember that God exists. This is when we believe strongly in His existence. I still don't know how to think about,exalt and worship God at all times with equal devotion but i can assure you i will improve on that.

Maybe you don't agree with me on this one or do you? If you experience the opposite then you are probably in a better place than i am. One thing is clear though, THE RICH AND THE POOR HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON, THEY WERE BOTH CREATED BY THE LORD.

BESTIALITY....but why?

......so last week i was in the entrepreneurship class hoping to pass the time as the lecturer bored me with his never ending 'sermons'. I had hoped the time would fade away very fast so i can head home and eat. As usual the lecturer would come in very grumpy and we would know just about everything he was about to say.

However this week it was different. It seemed different from the very start. He was not his usual self, he was happy. A rare sight indeed. i was moved even more when started his 'sermon' for the day. He was talking about integrity and the recent news headline that had just hit Kenya. The one about bestiality...

On any other day this would never have made any headlines. However this was coming after the scandal that had been in the news all week. A couple of girls had decided to engage in the inhuman act of bestiality for pay. A foreign man believed to be the instigator of all this was paying the ladies for having sex with the dogs. Normally i would never comment on such matters because for one i don't know what drove the girls to such degrading acts, blame it on the economic conditions if you may..

Now back to the lecturer, the man had been going on and on for what seemed like ages about how these girls were a disgrace to the society. More so to the universities and the lecturers because these girls were collage students. Everything he said was true, but have you ever given it a thought why these girls do such things? And why was he shocked that such things had only started happening in Kenya now! Well i can tell my good friend the lecturer that such acts have been with us for a while. The fact that they only just gained media exposure is another matter all together.

Most people are quick to highlight all that is wrong with the society. All that is well and good but what are you doing to rectify all that is wrong with the society. Don't they say charity begins at home? Well i believe so. These women we demonize belong to the very society we belong to. I am almost sure that none of them enjoy the act. No one would commit such acts for leisure, or so i believe. Parents should do all they can to ensure their children have a good upbringing and a good education. This will not solve all the societal problems but it will be a start nonetheless. Its a tall order but one we must all unite to see eradicated from our society.

One major critic to my view that parents should do all they can to help their families is that some of these women who engaged in the bestiality act were mothers who were doing all they can to feed and cloth their families. That is all well and good but remember this, DO WHAT YOU KNOW IS RIGHT AND NOT WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT.
Good day good people.

VIRGINITY FOR SALE...

A few weeks ago i read an article on the local paper a story about people selling their virginity for a fee. Obviously there are many reactions to this statement.

First before the reactions let me tell about it. Some ladies and men have taken to Internet to market themselves and earn a living through this means. They post ads about them and how much their virginity is worth on the Internet. Since the net is a wide world web they have access to a large market. Its more like bidding from then on and the highest bidder gets to win the virgin.

First of all i think the idea is innovative. Its very hard nowadays to make money with the economic crisis globally in full effect. Everybody needs to survive. Its more like survival for the fittest these days and the most creative survive. These people after all are just using the resources available to them to succeed.

However not everyone will see it that way. Some believe it is morally wrong. I personally don't know what to think of it. Because even after considering all the factors and debating every point, no one side of the argument would win in this battle. This is because you will either be a sympathiser or a rational thinker. In both cases there are many reasons to support either side.

One such lady had posted on the net and the results were amazing. She got replies from all over the world. By the way the lady was located in Brazil. The gentleman who won the bidding is some feller in Asia. He had to part with top dollar to win that contest.

Fortunately for that lady she had an asset and she utilised it. I don't see the fuss in that...but wait, what would make a man spend all that money for virginity? If anything i think virginity is not all that precious. Have you ever tried to have sex with a virgin? If you have then you will know it doesn't live up to the hype. I most certainly wouldn't part with that much for a few minute romp.

Its interesting to note that ladies fetched more money for their virginity than the men. Honestly i don't know why? Or is it because a woman's virginity can be verified while that of a man cannot be verified? Maybe. The other point to note here is that prettier women are more likely to be successful in this market compared to the not so good looking ones.

Would you ever try this as a means to make a living? If life pushed you to the limit would you do it? Only you can answer that question...
Good day folks..
