Thought for the day.

Following people is error in judgement, for that associate that takes you away from the lord continually would meet him shortly, and you might be left wondering about the immense power of redemption.

Poem of the day

I discovered me in silence.
A silence that happens in extreme isolation. An isolation that pierces the rough edges of the soul leaving it bruised. In that moment, I wanted more; we would all want more. I then groaned for strength that could surpass that of the Gazelle. It took time, but Light quickly steeped in. I just couldn't help but find myself, we all would do! You can.

Poem of the day.

They say love is patient,
It's kind, gentle, pure, not full of itself.
It's not jealous, wicked, and full of lies.
I ask, how many then have truly loved?
For my love has lacked the true juice of strength.

Picture of the day

The tyranny of makeup and female Authenticity.

I strongly believe commentary on makeup and it's abuse should be handled by ladies alone. This I say because men can't and would never understand the insecurities a woman faces in the absence of its application. All they may say is "I cannot marry a woman who makes excessive use of makeup and lacks the self confidence". So, silence on this issue might be best. Last week, after Hillary Clinton's performance on NBC, Reince Priebus chairman of the Republican National committee, took to twitter to chastise her for not smiling. What crap? After they would say gender discrimination is a thing of the past. She frowned and so?

A longtime ago, definition of beauty and it's meaning appears to have been different from what applies today. Recently, a reasearch was carried out, and 400 women of which 15% of women said they had some sought of plastic surgery. The major cause of its spread a lot may not be aware of. Does it have to do with the tyranny of the society against women. In the African society of which I am solely a part of, a lot of men find their wives unattractive as soon as she tastes the juice of motherhood. You know what I mean. How often does this affect the esteem of women. Could this be the reason women undergo surgery. How could this be? when younger women around ages 20-30 engulf their bodies in it.

Fashion has been said to be self-expression, while makeup is self-absorption. The act of immersing yourself so widely into its extreme power to a level that existing without it brings about dislocation from reality. Someone said, when women start applying makeup as pre-teenagers, she said "by adulthood, that mindless habit can result in a mask we do not even know we're wearing until Alicia Keys decides to remove hers in public. I do not criticize it's application but I disdain it's pernicious ability into the destruction of a woman's definition of what beauty really is.

We all have choices to make, and no one has the right to put you through what makes you happy and what doesn't. Happiness is relative and so are ones choices. Putting on makeup and absorbing yourself in it happens to be your choice and no one else. If makeup makes you feel confident than you do; then do it. But if it makes you feel less of who you are, take out that time to discover who you are. What drives you. What makes you happy. Life is too short to scrabble in things that  doesn't make sense. Take a deep breath and realize that you are damn beautiful. With or without makeup you are just it...you always win. Strong and macho you can withstand shit.

Donald Trump could be scared!!

Dear readers,,
          I wanna say thank you for your effort in clicking my links. But what do you all think about Donald Trump's sudden effort to reshape the presidential race due to Hillary's absence. He took Hillary's absence to press his case against ferocity. A lot of people feel his approach got to be more political than personal. Really, I doubt it...could he be scared of something. Does he think doing all that could promote his chances in the race.

Some things you may not know about the IPhone7

Dear Iphone users,,
I got the extract from the Newyorktimes. It might be important to you in your decision for purchase.

While it is irritating not to have an audio jack — Apple nixed the 3.5 millimeter port to make room for faster chips, better batteries and to make the iPhone water-resistant — and the older physical home button feels better to press than the new virtual one, the new iPhones deliver on Apple’s promises.

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are tremendously fast — more than double the speed of the two-year-old iPhone 6 — and their cameras produce superb, vivid photos. The battery life is improved, and the iPhones survived water torture tests.

So while the new iPhones have great cameras, I wouldn’t let that drive your buying decision. If you prefer a larger screen for reading and watching videos, consider the 7 Plus, but if you prefer something easier to carry in a pocket and type on using one hand, go for the 7. (The iPhone 7 has a 4.7-inch screen; the 7 Plus has a 5.5-inch screen.)

Lastly, Apple made changes to the new iPhones to improve durability. The iPhones are designed to be water-resistant. In my tests, they survived a swim in a water pitcher. The physical home button was replaced with a force-sensitive virtual one. It remains to be seen if the new home button will be more durable. In the past, one of the first components to wear out on older iPhones was the home button.

Society has more to do with masculinity.

When a question like do women have it better than men comes up...I wonder what the intention of the audience maybe. The answer might be that women have it better than men, and it is the fear of such an answer that keeps men nervously posing the question in the first place. It's like me throwing a  question that goes "am I a woman". why should I throw such a question  when I  am solely aware that I am a woman due to my biological makeup. So, when men throw that question it only shows that they may be scared of something.

Freud ascribed to women a problem he called "penis envy". I've become aware that the feelings, and motives I ascribe to others tell me little about them but much about myself, for I am projecting my own feelings and motives into them. What about ascription and projection...so, Freud may have been suffering from "womb envy".

My question seems really easy, what has the male fox ever derived  by reducing the status of women in our society. Really, I do not believe women have it more than men. In various ways they have it very bad indeed.  They are raped, battered, abandoned to bring up their kids in obscurity. If  Freud one of the world's greatest psychologists could reduce the problem of women to "penis envy" then what else do we have to say.

Our little male kids have been made to believe in male power and rights which ends up devaluing women. They are taught not to wash plates, sweep around, or help their sisters with feminine chores. Whats that?. Why can't they help their mom in the kitchen?.  I think the best of men are those that balance the emotional and the physicality of their existence.

Donald Trump presses case due to Hillary Clinton's absence.

Due to Hillary's absence, Donald Trump has taken an effort to reshape the presidential race on monday. Mr.Trump, the Republican nominee has largely with elderly comment about Clinton's health, showing uncharacteristic restraint after her campaign announcer she had pneumonia, he took Mrs.clinton's unexpected absence from public view as an opportunity to press his case for ferocity.

What we would say about Hillary's doctors report.

Nigeria would always be my dream country....I would tell you why. After Hillary tripped while waiting for her official car to collect her. following what happened, her doctor confirmed She got pneumonia. If that happened in Nigeria, guess what we will say..."Trump has finally visited a juju priest and has inflicted Hillary with this malady". No one here is Ready to calm down and find out what's the fact., truth seems but a mirage to a whole. Life may seem easier because we are ready to point our accusing fingers at the gods.
