JUDGMENTS CHANGE OVER TIME! WHY BOTHER JUDGING?

-
Judgment, preconceived notions, society adopted norms, ...... whichever you may call it is something we all should learn to avoid.
Nobody has a claim on the authority of what is right. Look around you, the rules that some people died for in the past, are now OK.
Whether it is: 
  • - Female Bishops 
  • - Slavery 
  • - Class system
  • - Inter-tribal marriages
  • - Negotiation with terror organizations
  • - Gay rights 
  • - Female equality 
e.t.c.

Whatever is your stand on the issues listed above, and much others like them, really doesn't matter as much as it matters what you'll feel about them within different circumstances and at different times.
The clothes people wear, the hairstyle, the language and others like such are dynamic and change periodically. That's is why you won't be caught wearing a clothe that was worn in the 1980's.
THINGS CHANGE!!!
With that in mind we should all be careful of how we "take decisions" and "put our feet down" and "object vehemently"........
Because our choices are affected by a lot of factors that often times we have no control of and other people as well have no control of. These factors include:
  • - Time/Period of life 
  • - Environment you are born to
  • - Cultural norms you grew under 
  • - Training and exposure you have experienced 
  • - Temperament 
  • - Trauma experienced or lack of it
  • - Other factors that are basically inexplicable but hold true (like why a young man naturally has no desire for the opposite sex)
e.t.c.

Next time you feel like jumping up in religious fervor and make judgmental calls, try and remember that:
  • - things are never as it seems 
  • - there more factors involved 
  • - the dilemma of change is one that is constant
DON'T BE A ROBOT!
It's really simple, there's no one like you in all the world. Yes, I mean you. YOU. The person reading this now. There is no one like you. You are unique for you. Don't let anyone turn you into what you are not. As a wise man once said,
"THE YOU IN YOU IS THE YOU THAT YOU ARE AND THE YOU THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE".

Don't let anyone stereotype you or turn you into what you are not. Don't let the economy, situation or things change your core person. You are shaped by your experiences, so it's useless to regret them but you can decide what you'll do with who you have become. 
THE CHOICE IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN YOURS!

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

An unhealthy lifestyle will raise your blood pressure over time. And the higher your blood pressure becomes, the higher your risk of having a stroke or heart attack in the future. But the good news is that if you have high blood pressure, healthy changes will help to bring it down. And you don't have to wait until you have high blood pressure to make healthy lifestyle changes. The more you can reduce your blood pressure, the lower your risk of a heart attack or stroke will be. 1. Blood Pressure Diet - Eat less salt Too much salt raises your blood pressure, so it is important to eat as little as possible. In fact, some people with high blood pressure may be able to avoid blood pressure medicines by cutting down on salt. Most of the salt you eat is not what you add to your food, but is in prepared foods like bread, breakfast cereals and ready meals. Don’t add salt to food when cooking or at the table. When shopping for food, check the labels and choose low-salt o

Marriage is like Sky Diving ...

First of all, let me show you some precautions for skydiving: 1. Safety is EVERYONE'S responsibility. 2. Don't ever get complacent. 3. Review your emergency procedures before the jump. 4. Get a gear check before the jump. 5. Always approach the plane from the rear. 6. 200 jumps are required before undertaking the jump. 7. Perform handle checks before preparing to exit the plane. 8. Be very aware of everyone around you at break-off. 9. Be mentally prepared for malfunctions and always be ready to perform your emergency procedures. 10. Know which way is North, South, East, and West on the jump. Now, simulate that to marriage and you have an amazing recipe for a sensible marriage experience. I say sensible because that should be the baseline for any marriage. And also some marriages I see these days are so insensible. Please take note of the following if you are about to undertake a skydive (marriage): 1. This action is dangerous. It gives a high. Yes. It's very satisfying. Yes

CAUTION! WHY THE RACE TO MARRY?

Hello friends, One of the greatest experiences a person could gain in this world is one that comes from the relationship of having a HOME - a FAMILY! One of the greatest failings in gleaning this great experience is seeing it as a destination and not a journey. A family is not an achievement! It is not a result! A symbol of hierarchy or status! It is not a possession! A product or reward of years of work or turmoil! Thinking it is the above is one of the underlying factors for a lot of marital failures. Do NOT get married because: Your friends are getting married You are of age. You have acquired "sufficient" wealth for it. You deserve it. In this part of the world, students are used to the process of a result from an examination after a term of schooling. Or for workers, the process of a wage after a month or period of work. Marriage should not be seen in this light. Bone of my bones! Flesh of my flesh! My very soul-mate! The one that completes me! The one person wh
