He is wicked; he just used me, doesn't care about me. Barely 3 months after our wedding he revealed his true nature, a bloody womaniser with no respect for women, blah blah blah. That's what we get from some women, accusing their husbands of being irresponsible post wedding. And the men, most times, will sit back and soak it in, because the ladies believe there is a devil in every man!
Please note that there will never be good, without evil, no peace, without a war, no friends without enemies; anyone who for whatever reason believes the husband or wife is so caring, loving, nice, kind, etc; should go have their heads examined; because the devil is not in every man, but everyone.
We all have our evil sides, dark days, bad moments, at least that's what we call it, those times when a man would raise his hands to hit a woman, or the woman go out with the ex and get it on; since we humans believe someone or something has to take the blame for our actions, we believe it is safer to put it on the devil, the unseen being with a mission to only cause havoc and destroy; and I wouldn't blame them, I feel tempted to do the same myself, and maybe use to, but I recognise now (like I have always known), that (wo)man is and will always be responsible for their actions.
Whilst the devil in every man will give you that momentarily comfort, he is not to blame, neither will he eventually take full responsibility for your actions. Mistakes, we will always make; amends, we may have the opportunity to make, responsibility, we feel the need to push. Grow up and make the amends for the mistakes you have made, by taking responsibility for your actions.

Money
Money is good. I have seen it work wonders; wonders and miracles that religion can hardly work. For a while, the Christain community was confused as to the importance and need for money. Some said it was the root of all evils, while others said it was the love of it that was the root of all evils. But how can you have something, work for it and then get it, but not love it. I am yet to see a man or woman that has made so much money (by their standard) and not love it. Of course, you have to love what you have sacrificed almost every other thing for to get, or that which you have inherited. Make or take, money is good, very good!
Ever heard the phrase, " money can't buy you everything"? I dare say that is so not true. Money can buy you everything. A woman / man, good house, comfortable life, children, joy ( and I say this carefully); and every other thing you can ever think of. Can money buy you happiness? Maybe not. There really isn't anything that can buy you happiness, as this is more of a state of mind than reality.
Think of it, what would you say has brought you happiness? Lasting happiness? Nothing! They will only bring you joy, which is a temporary state of happiness, short lived in nature and conceivable by the human mind (my definition). It is only in death that happiness is achieved, just as perfection is achievable in death; and since no man has every died to come back, or very few wish to die, happiness will remain an illusion.
But here's the thing, money or the love of it has never been the root of all evils ( as adjudged by the number of bazaars organised by churches). It is the lack of money that pushes a man to cheap prostitutes, rape; the church to compromise on its standards. It is the lack of money that most likely makes a man loose a woman for a wife, cause friction in a household, and even may fuel the need for fame and power. Is money then the root of all evils? I'll leave that to you, but if you asked me my thoughts on money, I'd say it brings joy and eliminates all evils!

Fame
What is it about fame, money and power that makes a man leave all other less fearsome tasks for these?
Is it the desire to oppress others, the desire to be comfortable, or be secure? I guess we will never know. But one thing we will know for sure is, the quest will never end.
I love power too, but does this have to come with fame? Can I be powerful and not famous? Thinking of all the great and powerful men that have lived, did their power make them famous or was it their fame that got them the power, who knows? I really am not driven by fame, nor am I power hungry, but of what use is living when you are always at the mercy of a few, unable to go where you want because of fear of some "good" people? Where does money fit in this equation? The catalyst? My mind is racing really fast and I feel the urge, more than ever before, to find answers to these questions.
Where does help come from? Questions, questions and more questions, but no answers.
Once I was a philosopher, pure in heart, pure blood like a few good people use to say, but now I feel I sold this innocence, ingenuity, too cheaply. I am not rich, speak less of wealthy, so don't get me wrong. Can this then be the reason for this unsatisfactory feeling I feel? Even more questions. They say man is a thinking being, I say he is a questioning being, well that's just me, lol. I will get there, I hope, I feel it though, but don't know if that will be in this lifetime (my theory on this in subsequent posts).
What can I refer to as my greatest achievement? The taking of a wife, my job, my child or just living through each day. I use to hate living, and thinking about it now, it wasn't because I had no fame. Truth be told, I have tasted fame, or had the opportunity to pursue it, but did not feel too interested at the time; or maybe I was too lazy to invest all that was required to make me really famous? I really do not care at this point, because I believe it is not fame that drives me, but the "Humble Power". This is the ability to oppress the people, but the wisdom not to. It is only a few who will know this power as many will die from the shock of having control than from the control in itself.
Say I were to be very powerful in this life, that would mean everything be at my feet. Nations, kingdoms, people would know me and maybe fear me; I would definitely be wealthy. If I have such power, how is it then that I should die? I really cannot imagine dieing since everything would be at my disposal and everyone at my beck and call. Will I die by virtue of my human nature, or because I am still less than the almighty, who controls and regulates the universe, and may not be impressed with all my fame, power and money?
Fame will most likely bring money, but not necessarily power. Power on the other hand, leads to fame, which in turn will most likely bring money; but none of these are guaranteed.
Fame and power will eventually lead to the grave!
What is it about fame, money and power that makes a man leave all other less fearsome tasks for these? Would I not be better off seeking the ultimate end (the grave) which is less fearsome and guaranteed?
What do you want of life?

The Truth (Pt. 1)
Life comes in different shades, that goes without saying, look around you, it's pretty obvious right? Funny how we all say these things, yet go through life with one shade; some live it dull, some others experience the bright side. Dull or bright, you hold the brush, and it's the individual who choses the colour of his/her life. Situations, people and the environment may direct ones hands in the direction one would rather not take, causing you to make marks on your board of life, what you will naturally call mistakes, but if you have the brush and can chose the colour with which your "art work" comes out, then its really up to you.
Religion is an institution set up to keep men on the right track, but this doesn't make religion right, or the people who preach it right. Everyman has a right spirit at birth; we were all born with a good intent and as such are naturally disposed to doing good. What we see today in our society is not the function of the devil, but men seeking to become Gods over one another, fueled by the same religion that was set up to checkmate man's activities.
The setting up of a legal system gives room for crime to be comitted, building prisons drives the "authorities" to seek out offenders, the realisation of the fact that there is a group known as the offenders, spurs rebelion, rebelion leeds to crime, crime to judicial system and that, to prisons.
How then has religon helped the human race?
