Slavery Lasted 400 years, So Why The Protests Against COVID 19 Lockdown For Some Few Days?

 

Protesters against coronavirus lockdown in the Netherlands

The coronavirus lockdown is provoking many people that want their freedom around the world, despite the high rate of COVID 19 infections in recent times.  Hence, many people worldwide, including the Netherlands, not satisfied with the lockdown rules to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus, took to the streets protesting.

There is no one who doesn’t like the taste of sweet freedom because as humans, people are not interested in laws and rules that will confine them to one place. Frankly speaking, freedom is more effective than any medicine as it prevents loneliness, depression, any psychological problems, including the tendencies of committing suicide.

 

Even animals and birds like freedom, since many are fed up being kept in the zoo. Even in a cage, a bird may seem happy whistling and hopping around, yet open the cage for that bird and you will see the full force of flight that bird will be applied to escape into the air without looking back.

 

There was much unrest through Europe, including London, over the lockdown. In Eindhoven, one of the cities in Holland, protesters set fires and threw missiles at the police against the lockdown measures, while the police fought to control the situation with tear gas and water cannons, leading to the arrest of at least 55 people.

 

Many times, I keep wondering if people that have never suffered slavery, racism, colonial brutalities, the Apartheid form of government, and the handicapped by deliberate infection of diseases, understand the situation of people that have experienced such tragedies and bitter experiences of black history.

 

Africans were captured and sold as slaves in the most degrading and horrifying manner that lasted 400 years before abolition, yet today we are witnessing carnage, destruction, crimes against the authorities because they want people to obey the laws implemented to avoid the spread of the coronavirus.

 

How sincere and thoughtful are we as human beings? You, in life many don’t care about other people's sufferings because they are not the victims. Selfishness, greed, lies, and hypocrisy are some of the ailments that shut down the brain of human beings to be considerate to think about the well-being of other people.

 

If black people have survived slavery, Apartheid horrors, and colonial atrocities that lasted for decades, why some people always want to break the rule and find it difficult to survive a lockdown for some few days to prevent the spread of a disease that will benefit us?

The truth is in life if you haven't been through certain difficulties, you wouldn't have the experience to accept certain rules for your own benefit. People often don't care about the tragedies that fall on other people but the reality is whatever goes around, always comes around.

The situation about the coronavirus is hard to understand. We don't see people getting ill or falling on the streets, yet we hear of people dying each day by COVID 19. Whether what those health experts are telling us is true or false, we must obey the rules and see what happens

BREAK YOURSELF FREE FROM DEPRESSION

Suicide tendencies can be eliminated by seeing the doctor or through prayer

Everyone has wonderful hopes, dreams, and expectations of their future, but many times what we are looking for never comes our way. Some of us have been robbed of our joy through the loss of a loved one, and many feel lonely and hopeless when they find themselves in abusive homes and domestic violence.

In such a troubled world, it's very easy to see the ailments of society taking their toll on people. The high rate of unemployment and divorce are also some of the causes leading to depression. It's not surprising that psychologists have confirmed that the ailments of people can be traced to the homes and environments they were raised.

We understand that as human beings, we are bound to face difficulties in our lives. The important question is: How do we handle those problems we experience? According to the World Federation for Mental Health, depression is a significant contributor to the global burden of disease and affects people in all communities across the world.

Today, depression is estimated to affect 350 million people. The World Mental Health Survey conducted in 17 countries found that, on average, about 1 in 20 people reported having an episode of depression. But do you know that you have the power to overcome loneliness and depression?

Why do some people easily succumb to depression, and others don't? Resist? The happy people we often meet on the street are not superhumans. They are only happy because experience in life has taught them that happiness is within oneself. You have the power to make yourself happy or miserable.

Someone can make you unhappy, prevent your success, or do everything to hurt you, but so long as you are a living being, you have the power, desire, inspiration, or everything it takes to liberate yourself from that misery, loneliness, or depression.

Fear, anxiety, depression, and loneliness can be easily prevented than you know. Instead of living on drugs and alcohol, which can rather increase your psychological problems, some recommended steps can keep one far from loneliness and depression. 

Reading interesting books as a hobby can capture your imagination to avoid depression.

If you love to stay at home, please cultivate the habit of taking a walk through the gardens, doing window shopping, and joining social clubs. Going to the gym to exercise once or twice a week not only keeps you fit but also psychologically healthy. 

You may have a hidden talent, but you don't know. Find out what you are very good at, follow it, and start blogging to create your happiness.

Another important factor is financial matters, which often wear people down psychologically. When facing financial problems, you need a healthy mind to find your way out, not a depressed mind.  

I can't do it, I'm not sure I can succeed, there is nothing left for me in life, they are all 'symptoms' of depression. Take away the shackles from your body and free your mind from the psychological chain damaging your health. 

Never waste your time on someone who doesn't love you. He or she will never be satisfied, even if you sacrifice your whole life. Be always calm and aspire to greater things in life because the power of positive thinking works.

ONLINE DATING: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY PART OF IT

Online dating

Life can be boring sometimes. Frustration, depression, loneliness, and anxiety are some of the problems that have taken their toll on many people today, forcing them to use ‘Dating Sites,’ hoping that’s the right place to find love and happiness they are looking for. 

The internet has enabled us to see the world through the window, facilitating business, creating easy communication, and making friends easily throughout the globe. But the question is: Is ‘Dating Sites’ actually the right place for someone to look for his or her dream partner? 

Frankly speaking, dating sites harbor all kinds of dangers that many ignore or don’t see because they are simply following their heart's desire.

I don’t see the distance between two people dating as one of the disadvantages of online dating if one person lives in Canada and the other lives in England, but the dangers of falling into the wrong hands, which have prematurely ended the lives of many, and added names of missing people to the missing people.

While on a ‘Dating Site,’ you aim to find a lover, but the man on the other side doesn’t want love; he wants to harm or kill you. How will you know? This is the reason many who answer to online dating mysteriously disappear without any trace. 

This makes ‘Dating Sites’ or ‘Blind Date’ more dangerous than imagined. Once in Amsterdam, I contacted a lady who wants a non-smoker. 

We made an appointment at the central train station, asking me to be at a very famous point that everyone knew. She was late. I watched my time and I realized it was over ten minutes. 

Then, after fifteen minutes, I saw a pretty woman smiling at me. She was gorgeous. Her tall, slim figure was the exact choice of a woman I was looking for.

“Are you Joe?” She asked, and I nodded.”I have been here already, but spying on you to see if you are a handsome man. I really hate ugly and shabbily dressed men.” She said. “What a bad woman? 

Is that what men or women do to each other on a blind date?” I asked in my mind. Now I know the reason many dates end in disappointment. They came and probably saw the person unattractive and quietly sneaked away? 

Who will be happy when treated like that? In fact, the statement she made ruined my day. After eating and a walk through the city, I didn’t request a second date. That’s how we lost contact.

There is nothing wrong when doing online dating, but be extremely careful, because what you are looking for might be completely different from what the person you are communicating with wants. 

Some recommended steps can keep one far from loneliness and depression. Reading interesting books as a hobby can capture your imagination to avoid depression and loneliness.

If you love to stay at home, please cultivate the habit of taking a walk through the gardens, doing window shopping, and joining social clubs. Going to the gym to exercise once or twice a week not only keeps you fit but also psychologically healthy.

If One Pretends To Be Dead, Mourners Will Pretend To Bury Him Alive

Discussing your problems with someone you love is the best way to get help and solutions to the problem.

“If one pretends to be dead, mourners will pretend to bury you alive,” is one of the thousands of African proverbs meant to educate, shape our lives, and inspire us, as each proverb carries a moral lesson, advice, and wisdom. This particular proverb speaks against pretending.

As imperfect human beings, we are responsible for both the good and bad things we do. Whichever way one takes it, to pretend is also considered to be something bad. 

The question is, why do people pretend? According to a study, pretending has both advantages and disadvantages.

Sometimes one needs to pretend. For example, when all of a sudden in a cinema hall, a gunman on a shooting spree takes everyone by surprise without any escape route, pretending to be dead among those already dead could save your life. 

But in other ways, pretending can cause self-destruction, depression, loneliness, and other psychological problems. How?

The pressure in society is enormous. Things are not going well, yet many people prefer to hide their problems behind a false smile. 

If you don’t share your problem with your family or a trustworthy friend, how can someone know your problem to give the attention or help you need? 

Researchers reveal that hiding a problem behind a false smile or faking happiness is more likely to bring you harmful feelings.

You might not be happy with your job because your boss or a colleague is sexually harassing you, exploiting you physically, emotionally, and mentally, yet you wear a false smile behind such psychological scars. 

Instead of pretending to be okay, it’s always better to tell your problem to someone to receive help.

Many wish to be someone because of the extravagant lives other people live. But we must be careful about what we sometimes wish for. We must be content with whatever we have to live a happy life. 

Don’t let your neighbor’s expensive car push you to live beyond your means, and put on a fake smile, deceiving people that you are living great, while you know that you are struggling to make ends meet.

In Africa and other countries around the world, many are believed to be sick of HIV but scared to go and see the doctor, because they aren’t ready to be told they have contracted HIV or Aids.  

They would rather prefer to hide their problems with a fake smile, forgetting that no one drinks medicine on behalf of a sick person.

To pretend that everything is okay, while suffering, is not good for our health; we must, therefore, confine our problems to those close to us for help and solutions. That’s the only way we can overcome and defeat our problems.

ONCE A MAN, TWICE A CHILD, BUT LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

The beautiful part of being old



One of the wonderful phases of the cycle of life is the arrival of a newborn baby into the world, after a months-long agonizing pregnancy. 


The devoted mother, after labor, sees her wonderful child in her arms and immediately forgets all the pains she passed through. You can hear the baby crying because he/she is hungry.


Looking after the baby becomes the task of her mother, in the morning, afternoon, evening, and at night. The mother can't sleep when the child is sick, making her lose the precious sleep she needs. 

This uneasy task of bringing up a child will go on every day until the child is of age and can take care of herself or himself.

Like every living thing, a human being grows. Year after year, everyone celebrates his or her birthday. Like running water going down the drain, everyone becomes old without thinking of how fast the years are going by. 

Old age is a difficult part of life that many fear. Loneliness, insecurity, and neglect are some of the issues that worry many old age people, even when there are homes or families to take care of them.

A man continues to grow and at a certain age, becomes like a child once again in his feeding and cleaning of himself. He starts acting like a child, sometimes crying and complaining about unnecessary things. 

Is it really worth living when you find yourself in this situation? Yes, it's worth living.

Life is more precious than silver and gold. It's worth being in this world to explore, learn, and teach. Many simply don't value life because they fully depend on material things, and when they fail to get it, they become disappointed. 

To be happy in life until old age, people also need to seek the spiritual part of life. It is written, "Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven." 

Does this sound stupid? Just give it a try, and you will discover the value of life without a second thought of committing suicide when the going gets tough.

SEX WITH ANIMALS - WHAT'S ITS SIGNIFICANCE?

Having sex with an animal is an abuse.

Thoughts, work as forces, and that force determines what one wishes. Due to circumstances, many have no control over themselves, therefore doing abnormal things that they find them satisfactorily. 

Sadness, depression, frustration, and loneliness have taken control over people's lives, plunging them into a dark tunnel, without any control or willpower to liberate themselves.


It looks so pretty simple for many people, especially women, to make love with animals, but frankly speaking, it's insane. Total sheer madness. If one is lonely, depressed, or unhappy, there are thousands of books, doctors, and psychologists there to help. Why then must a depressed or sane person seek her comfort by making love with an animal?

Many women have sex with their dogs, and others who want to have an orgasm open their legs widely for the dogs to lick their vagina. The disgusting and ugly thing to do. 

On YouTube, you see women having sex with animals, including dogs and horses. If by anyway those who indulge themselves in such acts were to find their way to see a psychologist, believe me, they will be diagnosed with mental problems. Because a normal, hundred percent sane person can't make love with an animal.

This is the confession of a girl who saw the family dog 'fucking' her mother. "One day, when I was a teen, I went to meet my girlfriend to go to the movies. For some reason, she was not home, so I went back to my house, and the front door was locked. 

Assuming Mom had gone shopping as she said she was, I went to the back basement window, which I knew was unlocked to enter the house. Our basement had two rooms, a game room and a workout room with weights, etc.

I entered the game room and heard some moans coming from the weight room. I peeped around the corner and saw my mother bent over the weight bench and our family dog, a Black Lab, on her back, humping her. 

I heard her moaning and saying, "Yes, Buddy, Mommie needs it". I could not believe it, but soon Buddy finished humping her, and they lay there with Buddy on her back. I scooted back to the house and came back much later." 

From this confession, one could clearly determine the psychological problem this woman had. She was frustrated because for so long she hadn't been 'screwed'. This has made her sick and powerless to control herself. 

Sleeping with animals, as a matter of fact, is a complete sickness that needs a remedy. It can even give certain incurable sickness to a person. Making sex with animals often takes place in many parts of Africa. Some people have been caught red-handed either having sex with goats or chickens.

There are many sickening habits. Once you enter, you can't find it easy to get out; therefore, for those people out there who can't get out of this sick and disgusting situation, try to seek help from professional doctors, health institutions, or psychologists.

People who engage animals in sex, just as well know that they are abusing the animals. This act has made many dogs wild and aggressive toward male visitors who come to visit the women they 'fucked'.

Those who wouldn't like anyone to know that they had slept with their dogs or any other animal can help themselves by reading books, such as 'The Power of Positive Thinking and other books on self-coaching. 

Self-coaching courses are also recommended for people in such a situation.
