Heart of the Wise

A lady who has good intentions for a man will not seduce him. Let’s go deeper. First, a good woman who is mature enough and ready for marriage or meaningful relationship will not rely on the instrumentality of sensual, physical seduction to secure a good man’s commitment. If and when a lady decides to target a man and seduce him into having something intimate to do with her, then she is not likely thinking of marriage to him or a meaningful relationship with him. A woman readily seeks to seduces a man if she already thinks he is either an irresponsible man who is easily lured by the seductive appeal of different ladies, or is the type of man who will play the fickle game of flimsy romance or casual s€x with her. In such cases, she often times has an ulterior motive or a hidden agenda for him. It may be a setup, with a mastermind behind the scene. Let me reiterate: For a woman to seduce a man, she either thinks he is wayward and seduction is the best way to get him, or she herself is ir...

  Behold, the prisoner’s dilemma! Given just one chance to make a choice between these two options as a prisoner, assuming they represent food security and freedom respectively, which would you take: the bread or the key? The attached image shows a prisoner choosing the bread over the key, presenting a philosophical dilemma.  What are the different theoretical angles to this very practical reality of life? Below is a comprehensive overview on several theories and thought processes interpreting this illustrated scenario:   1. **Immediate vs. Long-Term Needs**:    - ** Theory **: The prisoner chose bread because hunger represents an immediate need, while the key symbolizes freedom, which addresses a long-term goal. Basic survival instincts often outweigh abstract aspirations.   2. **Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs**:    - ** Theory **: According to Maslow, physiological needs like food must be satisfied before higher needs like freedom or self-actualiza...

A prostitute is basically a person who engages in sexual activity for payment.  Also called a commercial sex worker, or simply a sex worker.  Other descriptions include hooker, hustler, harlot.  In given climes or conditions, they are escorts.   A female prostitute is usually called a call girl, runs girl, lady of the night, woman of the streets, etc.  A male prostitute, although not as common as a female prostitute, is called a gigolo. In essence, any offer of sex for payment is prostitution. Paul, in writing to Believers in Corinth, said this: “And don’t you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, “The two are united into one.” (1 Corinthians 6:16, NLT) As a background, history indicates that Paul must have been in his late 30s or early 40s when he wrote his letters to the Corinthian Church.  That should be sometime around the AD 50s. The first letter of Paul to the Corinthians, probably w...

OK, story time! My ex was a very beautiful lady. An amazing Niger Delta princess. One funny brother in church jokingly said that if my ex and I got married, we may have given birth to a beautiful mammy water because he considered us very beautiful and very handsome respectively. Matter of fact, she was a face model and did some modeling jobs with a number of organizations. I remember one juicy job she landed with a major telecommunications company that paid her what was a lot of money at that time. Infact, it was five times my monthly salary then. Her pretty face was on large billboards in different cities in the country and also at an international airport. She felt elated. I felt really proud of ‘my babe’. Beyond all that, she was a lively and jovial girl. I fell in love with her sparkly and sweet personality. I can say more about the soft feminine touch she gave me the opportunity to experience but let’s leave it as I’m no longer into her; and I will explain. Certainly, there were s...

  There are two kinds of people in this discourse. The peace-lovers and the trouble-mongers.  Beyond charm, charisma or projected persona. Some people naturally and intrinsically create, promote and inspire peace and harmony.  They look for ways to resolve issues that arise. They provide genuine solutions to problems.  They are inclined toward peace and progress in any environment and situation they find themselves. These are the real MVPs and unsong superstars. However, there are some individuals who always foment trouble and thrive off being troublesome.  Even when there is no problem, they create one. Some do this secretly and behind the scenes. They engineer discord and other social decay. They sow seeds of hatred, suspicion and distrust. They facilitate the breakdown of relationships. Again, most of this serpentine activity is done discreetly with great stealth and subtlety. Really, this toxic trait or obnoxious behavior may be a symptom of a greater or dee...

  If as an adult, you think you’re wrong and a child is right, do swallow your pride and call them over.  Sit down and discuss with them and you may learn something from them with your dignity still intact.  The wisdom that always wins is not always wi ld nor is it always about being a bully and lording it over smaller people even when you are obviously wrong.  Many may keep quiet out of fear or respect for you. But assuredly, you have planted the wrong seed. You have set a wrong precedent. You have shown a pretty poor example of who a leader should be or what leadership truly is. A generation has seen, heard and registered it. Be sure of that. It will bear fruit, if not now then later, and if not in an obvious area then in an obscure space or scenario. Your works are also duly noted by the Heavenlies. ******* So, so, so… What should you do now? Be truly smart and emotionally intelligent. Don’t let baser emotions get the better of you. Descend from your high horse an...
