Who opened the Pandora's box? Who moved the cheese?
When you live in a capitalist society, you've got to join the rat race of work and business to survive. Nothing is wrong with that, what is wrong is that the balance of making money and living real life has shifted towards money to the detriment of life .
Gone are days when having more children give parents more prestige. Have more than 3 nowadays and you'll be looked at as irresponsible.
Majority of the so-called middle class have got to go out to join in the rat race for resources that are barely sufficient for the family.
Children's education is more and more being reduced to purely academical status.
I'm so sorry for the young of today, what have they not seen, all in the glorification of media: social media, mass media, web media,public media. Media media media, a tool for the glorification of pornography, violence & drugs.
And the leaders whoever they are seem to be loosing: harmful drugs are being declassified ,ages of consent are being lowered, even the choice of celibacy for priests & religious may soon become optional.
Today talks about abstinence have been muted, you only hear of safe sex, birth control or child prevention.
Authority stealing has been stylishly nurtured and given names which seem to lessen its impact :'defraudment', 'misappropriation ' , 'maladministration', 'nepotism', 'mitigation '- as Fela would say.
The rich simply shrug their shoulders towards the bewilderment of the poor because the poor themselves are over-desperate.
I'm sorry for that man who needs job but hasn't the right connection. Or one who feels he's entitled to success all because he's got integrity and has read almost all the motivational books .
Out there in the business world, shit happens, a lot there are who couldn't change them and end up joining them. Ask Obama .
Women disregard men of marriageable age because of cash, and cashless men would close their eyes to marriage until they 'do something' towards their cash status.
Unmarried women abound because cashless men are in excess, cashless men are in excess because the rich shrug their shoulders on the bewilderment of the poor , the rich do this because they are afraid of the 'desperation of the poor '. Resources are scarce because the rich are afraid.
The Pandora box is opened by I know not by who. The evils therein are like the Red Sea. Plunge in with confidence in your skills and ability and you shall die like Pharaoh and his men, refuse to plunge because of your narrow ideology and you shall be left back in Egypt.
Take the plunge in faith and prayers and you shall arrive at a safe harbour.
And except by a special mercy of God , those who live in cities and depend only on shallow faith and tepid prayers may also be at risk. Who opened the box, who moved the cheese? I don't know, but we all have a responsibility towards surviving this hullabaloo .
