And the woman is a help mate, created to assist the man in his responsibilities. Now my opinion…. A woman is meant to keep the home Making sure her husband, the kids and everyone else are well taken care of, There’s ...

I know you Yes, YOU! You have been through more pains than joy Life has been unfair to you You failed where others succeeded You have questioned God You have questioned the reason for your existence If questions yielded breakthroughs, You’d have become the most accomplished human You have reasoned suicide You have tried to take your life But like every other of your endeavors, You failed woefully You have been jeered at many times In fact, you have got used to the jibes You have tried so hard to be different, to be great But…but, still, yet…. Now, you have resorted to ‘fate’ Your fate For sure you know that all humans are equally humans But you also know that some are more human than others And you believe that you fall into the ‘others’ group This, you believe is your fate You quit trying! But why not? Why keep trying only to fail? You have decided You will exist henceforth and quit striving to live The gift of life is not fo...
