Woman thou art...

A yoke so much resembles the scales. It's a burden everyone has. Just how much does it weigh over your shoulders? And how does the extension or rather man's cloned image balance over herself? She is a new being you have no idea how new. Cliche because it's true, but the only hard thing about new stuff, is how to make it work. So woman, who art thou?

Woman, thou art blessed. Not that a man isn't but she is my topic. I am an introspectionist and even though am not talking about myself, it is an extrapolation of the image into which I am made. A woman. I am also a creationist and I believe that angels and God's elders are all males and a woman is the only female that was created of God's image. Of course from man's image. How do I know this? Simple facts, I never heard angel Suzie or Cate and I do not wish to complicate that matter. Anyway, a woman is the only daughter God has, having the rest as sons. At times she is even called a son, smh. A woman is created for the roles we know, companionship for Adam, procreation, recreation blah, blah, blah, u know it. See the weird thing is that all these roles overtake us. They displace us on our own paths so that we do not understand them.

Procreation is something that goes beyond having babies. Oh, that's my main point today. To procreate means to reproduce or to create anew. That is the ability that she was given, not only on babies but in her work as well. It means that she is capable of multiplying whatever she puts herself to and this includes career, family and anything she wishes to grace. So this is about a very contemporary matter. No it's not about contraception,  it's about work. Women and work. More precisely, career women.

Firstly, a good woman works hard. My culture, school, that's the gospel. Now whether a woman is good or not, her hard work will still pay off. The moment she decides to work, she multiplies whatever her hands touch. She is like good soil and seeds sprout at her touch like Jack's beanstalk. So, given the same opportunities, a woman is likely to make more than a man in all legit sense. There are men out there who will contend all day against a woman working hard and making more than he is and a woman who has herself together. It isn't a competition. Furthermore, there are worse problems in the society today like global warming. I just want to let women know how much good they have in them and to men, a woman who can work hard, that is a good woman.Back to the matter, and to it's heart. Brace yourself.

If a woman knew her abilities and roles then she would do so much than worry. No she doesn't have to sleep with bosses. A mistake many make all the same. It's like bargaining for something you don't need to ask for because you already have. Of course you should draft your CV like a good brand, but if you already have the qualifications then all else is unnecessary. And it's not easy but then no good thing comes so easy. A woman will however get what she is working for if she is determined enough. Always. It's her feminine grace. She wasn't made the head or given muscles and a harsh deep voice to survive on earth. She was given grace, compassion and all that.

The only way you will lead a fulfilled life is if you understand who you are. You are beautiful, you are special and you are precious. And you do not have to contend with people who ask, why are you all that? Because. I do not intend to bruise anyones ego but it is equally important for men to understand who they are. Unless you understand and seriously comprehend who you are then it's impossible to tell someone else who they are. You will be there like' who does she think she is?' When the real question is 'who does she know she is? '
Let me also make it very clear that I am anti feminist, a topic for another day. For today, the roles you are made for shouldn't define you. They are just but roles. Nevertheless, play them if you can, women's seem less domineering,  that is not weakness, it is strength. Be good at what you were made for. As for men, try to do the same because I have seen tons of you who are ever pointing fingers at women who live wrong. They are not right, but by not playing your part, you are not any better than they are. You are leaders, heads, play that. Not through intimidation and using your strengths to take advantage of what you should protect. Instead be noble even for the sake of adventure. I've met very noble men. It's just the world. You decide where to be and it's not easy. So this here, is just consolation.

THIS IS THE FUTURE

Hey good people. I've always thought I should write about something am convinced I should say but which I do not know precisely. Now that we are all planners and the people learning to live very efficient lives, do we have a time when our plans ought to happen? Most probably that time is the future because we assume that we are okay now or maybe we do have problems but then guess what we do? We push those issues ahead. For example I want to be a reseacher or a photographer but I can only picture that in the future. Now we fail to realize the immediate future, the next one step to which I put my foot. Maybe I want to be in good health and be financially stable but I still imagine my success as a thing of the future again, not the immediate but so far upon the horizon.

Not that it is wrong to look so far ahead but am thinking that the future is by defination the next second after this meaning we are constantly living in the future. We always walk with a foot forward. Only one step forward not two or three steps. My point is, we should live the future today. Do not wait for tomorrow to be a better man or woman. Each one of us has seen us lose classmates and that got me thinking no one is too old to die. With that in mind don't be planning 'I'll be happy when am making millions and I have a steady life,' If you ask me, I think life never gets easier. Life is like energy, cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be put to different forms (paraphrasing). That means the energy we have today will be the same energy tomorrow only its component is in different proportion right now. It also means tnay you can be as happy today as you will be twenty years from now. It is important therefore that right now you work your proportions right. You are economists, ypu know best how to do that :) So, live, love and laugh today. Because we are in the future.

We are born, go to school, marry or not, watch other generations come, grow and die. In our very human minds that the order but in reality it's not because death can pop anywhere. I don't mean to scare y'all, but then the insurance company tells you all this right? So on a personal level it's only right to think about your life. I wish you all the best in your endeavors. Enjoy this last few weeks before school opens.
