394. DON´T WORRY

DON´T WORRY

A man lived in a small house with his wife, five children, four grandfathers and several aunts and uncles.

They all slept and ate in the same room.

As there were so many people, they always had arguments and complained that there 
wasn´t any space to move around the house, and it was always so noisy.

We just want some silence.

As the man didn´t know what to do, he went to see the wise man of the village.

“I´m going crazy because of the noise. Everybody is shouting all day.

The children are always crying.

My wife feels terrible because she can´t sleep”

“If I remember well, said the wise man…. you have a cow, don´t you?

Put the cow in your house and come back in a week”

The man started to protest.  No way….that is a crazy idea”.

In the end, the man did what the wise man told him to do.

After a week, the man came back and said: “The situation at home is horrible, and the cow smells terrible and shits everywhere!”, the man complained.

“Don´t worry”, said the wise man. “ Now I want you to put an animal in the house each week…. the goat, the horse and the chickens…..until it´s a total chaos”.

The man was afraid that his house would explode.

But after some time passed and the situation was unbearable, the wise man told the man to take out all the animals from the house.

When the man came back after a few days, he told the wise man:

“Thank you very much. You are very a very clever man.

“At last, everything is perfect now . Now we all can live in peace and harmony.

And the best of all .......nobody argues anymore”.

And then the wise man told him:

“We must value and be happy with what we already have, because unfortunately, life can at times get much worse”.

393. RESPECT

• What´s wrong with men?

  Why do men get so angry with women? And I imagine women with men too! 

  But the thing is........many men mistreat, hit, and even come to the point of killing a woman.

  

  In fact, why on earth do people kill each other? How can a person even think of taking someone´s life?

  That´s fucking crazy! 

  A person is born into this world, has a childhood, becomes an adult, has parents, brothers or sisters and friends……but then one day can be killed in the hands of another person.

  Something isn´t right in the society we live in.

  So, the question is, and this is what I mainly want to talk about :

  What goes on in a man´s head when he´s thinking of hurting someone; either psychologically or physically ?

  What makes a man become so violent to even think of hitting his wife…and perhaps killing her!

  Of course, there are many reasons why men can go crazy. It can happen that the man is completely drunk  or has psychological problems.

  If they are having an argument, anything can happen because the man becomes aggressive.

  There is another serious problem in some societies.

  Apart from drinking a lot, people also take drugs…and then it´s so easy to flip one´s lid.

  But that doesn´t mean that men have the right to mistreat a woman; perhaps even in front of their children.

  Maybe there are men who think they must control women because they think women are the weaker sex and a man is much stronger.

  So, some men think they have the right to mistreat their partners just because they are men and because they feel that they are the big boss and women must accept this and obey men all the time.

  This is a very serious dilema in modern day societies beacuse there are so many sociological and psychological factors envolved.

  Then, what is the solution to this very serious problem.

  I think it´s very important to start with education. Children must learn that men and women are born equal.

  Perhaps it´s also a good idea that before starting a relationship or getting married, men and women must take a psychological test just to be on the safe side.

  Companies make future employees take a psychological test before being part of the company.

  I think it´s a good idea to have this requirement before living together, or getting married and forming a family.

  How many women must die in a year in the hands of men?

  I´m sure there are men who need psychological help?

  In any kind of relationship, there must be love and especially RESPECT.

  It´s perfectly natural to argue about things….but with respect.

  And of course, never go to bed angry.

  
  

  

  If there is no love or respect in a relationship, then it´s better to make a change before things get worse.

  Women must seek help if there are problems at home

  Try to make up and kiss and live life in harmony.

  Remember: The first rule is…RESPECT.
