CEASED BY LOVE

 "Love is the Master key that opens the gates of happiness" - Oliver Wendell Holmes 



Happy Sunday to our lovely daddies. This message is so timely, and God wants me to pass it today.

According to Holmes, love is supposed to bring good things, happiness, no sorrow, as defined by "...open the gates of happiness". But today's love is something different, I don't know if again to call it love.

I'm passing this message to men who've had kid/children maybe outside wedlock before marrying a different woman or who've loss their wives and then remarry. Don't allow the love you have for your wife/mistress (the new one) to kill the bond you've created or should create with your children. That love you claimed pushed you to remarry shouldn't cease your voice, it shouldn't takeaway your say as the man of the house.

"Just throw away this illegitimate child and focus with your new family, if his mother was responsible she would've stayed" Is this what you think or what she tells you?

Your children should be happy that they have another mother instead of their biological mother. Not the other way round where they will be drawing a plan on how to escape from the house, from Jezebel whom Dad married because of love. That same love that has blinded Dad's eyes, that same love that has buried Dad's affection for his kid/children.

Why should a thing of joy adds sorrow? Why should a good thing you've found(wife) destroy all what you've laboured for? Why should your wife turn your back against your children, that you no longer listen to their cries? Why should she take away your voice? Why have you suddenly turned to vegetable? I don't think this is love, If it is, it should be without sorrow to the parties involve. 

Are you already eaten up by guilt as you read me? Then you have to change, be good to your children, wife, and your family.

 " If I had to give young writers advice, I'd say don't listen to writers talking about writing" - Lilian Hellman Addressing young writers, Lilian Hellman aired her opinion in what seems to be young writers want-to-hear statement (e.i what should I do as a young writer who wants to succeed in my writing career?). Well, she did justice. Hellmann's piece of advice doesn't just revolve around writing, it could be applied to all facets of human endeavor/profession. Could one ever say that Hellman was ignorant of the fact and need for young writers to seek advice regarding their pursuits in life which may likely help them? No. Hellman understood that some of these advice poses great fear and disbelief in oneself. Sometimes those you seek advice from kills the to-do and to-be spirit in you, or still, inject in you something that will always question every progressive steps you take. Some years ago(when I wanted entering the university), I went and seeked advice from...

TO MY BELOVED DAUGHTER

Thoughts Appetizer  Google Blog Online. Dear Jessica,  It gladens my heart watching you grow to becoming who I had raised you to be. It wasn't easy, but of a truth, I can tell you that the result is worth the suffering, and I shall never again be subjected to that level of having to live below my wants just to make sure you are okay.  Today I believe so much in you as my right hand child, my very strength to feel among, and to recover that which I have lost in the cost of raising you. But, no one takes it all! You've only sailed through a phase, another has opened, and here, you are likely to be a total stranger, an alien. What you don't know, you don't know; and unless you are told, you are bound to misbehave. At this level where my little efforts have propelled you, I can boldly say that to a very great extent, you have power, you have voice, you have decision.  But you should also understand that- the days are evil. Today, you have a good paying job, your own hous...

Correction for growth

  “If you've not seen anything wrong with your yesterday then you aren't growing, and I must congratulate you for giving ego such a big name. But I have to say this: that man(ego) is planning to sift you like wheat” A man's growth should be such that- when he looks at yesterday, he sees those things he did not do well and improve upon them. That's why we need and have innovation. Our characters, social life, moral upbringing, even in our thoughts, they should be linked to this principle without which we will be doing same thing and expecting a different result. This-is-how-they-use-to-do-it or This-is-how-I-use-to-do-it is primitive, archaic. A person affected by this self made dogma has a brain aboriginally designed to reject the true future, you are designed for isolation.  Paraphrasing his statement- Ryan Holiday said: men of principle rarely go without having to compromise their principle(s). Sometimes it doesn't mean that these principles are bottle-necked, it...
