For instance, the term necessary evil confers on it the status of benevolence, hence indispensable. This is how, the unbecoming becomes the becoming and the becoming becomes the unbecoming.”

“Most men don't understand that the instance of touch does not necessarily situate a woman as seduced. More is involved. The cumulative effect of his kind words and actions throughout the day keeps her connected. Therefore, a man who acts like a lion in the day and behaves like a lamb at night is a transparent intrigue of a selfish man whose interest is a woman's body and nothing more.”

“In the game of love, a guy and a girl of the same age are not age mates. She's always a head ahead. The moment she likes a guy, she quietly stages a connection and waits. When the guy links up, she boycotts all protocols and begins to see him as the father of her unborn children. She loves with soul and spirit that is why her disappointment cuts deeper. Don't hug if you won't go the whole hog.”

“Wisdom and riches are not always synonymous. There are instances of 'rich but foolish' and 'poor but wise'. Solomon's riches did not result from his wisdom; he was blessed riches also. The wisest of all men was poor. He was poor enough to obtain a coin from someone in his audience (without ridicule) to postulate the famous quote, "give Caesar's things to Caesar ..." Next time you ridicule a poor man's suggestion as bereft of wisdom, think twice. What he may be bereft of is the opportunity or sterner stuff it requires to convert it to cash.”
