In life, you’ll encounter individuals whose intentions vary—some engage with you based solely on transactional value, drawn to what you can offer, while others are opportunists who seek to benefit from your presence without offering reciprocity. Then there are exploitative personalities who use you purely for your resources, whether emotional, financial, or social, lacking any true regard for your well-being. In contrast, a rare few will value you for your authentic self, not what you provide, and these are the ones who remain consistent through both prosperity and adversity. Developing emotional intelligence is crucial to distinguishing between these dynamics. Once you're aware of who’s genuine and who’s self-serving, it becomes imperative to emotionally detach and create healthy boundaries from those who pose a threat to your peace and growth. Prioritize and protect the sincere connections they are rare, but deeply valuable.
In The Past
In the past, boys were taught how to become men, and girls were taught how to become wives.
Tribal societies understood something important: people can't succeed at roles they were never taught. Training and guidance were essential parts of growing up.
Today, that structure is gone.
Modern society expects women to know how to be wives without ever being shown how. Men are expected to act like men even if they grew up without a father or strong male role model. As a result, many people are lost and confused about their roles in relationships and life.
Some men today have lost touch with traditional masculinity.
They no longer take pride in being providers or protectors. Instead, some rely on women for financial support, emotional comfort, and even basic needs. They don’t want partners — they want mothers. They want to be cared for, driven around, and emotionally nurtured like children.
This shift is creating an imbalance.
While many men are becoming more passive and dependent, more women are stepping into traditionally masculine roles — becoming independent, career-focused, and taking charge. The traditional roles are reversing.
As this continues, we may see a larger cultural shift.
Men may continue to lose their sense of purpose and self-reliance, while women take on more responsibility. Some men may begin to resent this, feeling neglected or left behind. But the core issue remains: people are not being taught how to thrive in the roles they’re expected to fill

South African Future
One of the most sobering realizations about South Africa today is the widening divide between two fundamentally different visions for the country’s future.
On one side are South Africans who simply want the country to work. They long for effective service delivery, a strong and inclusive economy, reduced crime, less corruption, and more job opportunities. These citizens are focused on building, improving, and moving forward. Their aspirations are grounded in pragmatism, accountability, and hope.
On the other side, however, exists a growing movement that seems to thrive on chaos. This group often appears more interested in destruction than development. They speak of revolution rather than reform. They are driven by historical grievances, calls for land expropriation, and the idea that South Africa can regress centuries to settle past conflicts through current upheaval.
This segment is often characterized by economic hardship, limited education, and deep frustration. With little left to lose, their vision of a “better” South Africa often resembles one where institutions collapse, the economy deteriorates, and the currency mirrors that of Zimbabwe’s worst days. They reject the need for foreign investment, productive agriculture, and trade relationships. Some even believe that subsistence-level solutions—like growing tomatoes in a backyard—can replace industrial agriculture and sustain a nation of over 60 million people.
What’s clear is that South Africa stands at a crossroads. The future depends on which vision prevails: one rooted in building a better tomorrow, or one that seeks to tear down the present in pursuit of an idealized but unrealistic past. The challenge is to bridge this divide—not by ignoring the legitimate grievances of the disillusioned, but by creating real pathways for progress, inclusion, and shared prosperity.
Emotional Economy
Contrary to popular belief, a man’s love isn’t measured by how much money he spends on you. That notion is fundamentally flawed—and here’s why.
The only woman a man will willingly spend on purely out of love is his mother. For every other woman—be it a girlfriend, wife, or partner—financial generosity is driven by something deeper: peace of mind.
Men do not spend money simply because they’re in love. They invest where they feel calm, respected, and free from stress. Peace opens a man's wallet—not love alone.
This is why slay queens often attract lavish spending. They're detached emotionally, bring minimal conflict, and create a stress-free environment. Their appeal isn’t rooted in deep emotional bonds, but in the absence of demands.
In contrast, a wife or long-term partner often finds herself burdened with the realities of life—rent, school fees, household responsibilities. Naturally, this emotional and financial pressure can create friction. Overwhelmed, some men retreat—to where there’s silence, not screaming. And in that silence, they spend.
The hard truth? Men finance their peace, not their problems. This is why many baby mamas find themselves on the losing end financially—not because they’re less loved, but because the emotional stress outweighs the serenity.
It’s deeper than love—it’s about emotional economy.
Being Good
For years, I played myself—tryna be the nice guy. Thought that was the move. Thought that’s what made you solid. But nah, that wasn’t on me. That’s how I was brought up. See, as kids, we get fed this dream—be good, be kind, be polite. I get it, our parents meant well. But let’s keep it real: good intentions don’t always mean good results.
Here’s the truth nobody tells you—being good ain’t enough. If all you got is goodness, life gon’ chew you up and spit you out. You need balance. Gotta keep a little “F you” in the back pocket. Sometimes, you gotta be like a cab driver—tell folks where to get off.
Let people know: you ain’t soft. You got layers. You got edge. If all you ever do is be the nice one? You’re signing up for heartbreak, broke days, and sleepless nights. That’s facts.
See, humans—we ain’t as evolved as we think. Still got that beast in us. Still got that survival mode. A wolf don’t care how pure a chicken is—white feathers or not, when the wolf’s done, those feathers turn red.
That’s the world. Wolves and chickens. And just ‘cause you raise your kids to be chickens don’t mean the wolves ain’t out there.
Man vs Support
If You Find A Man Trying In Life. Your Support Will Take Him To Where He Needs To Be. A Trying Man Will Never Waste Your Support. At The Same Time. If You Find A Man Living A Useless Life. A Life Of No Ambition. No Plans. No Effort. Even With Your Support, He Will Continue To Be Useless.
A Man That Is Useless Has No Need For Support. Am I Too Harsh? Look At It This Way in Soccer. There Are Teams In The Top 5 & Then There’s Everyone Else. Teams In The Top 5 Can Realistically Win The Trophy. They Need Support. They Need Encouragement. They Need Positive Affirmations. Teams In The Bottom 5 Don’t Actually Need Support.
They Need To Decide If They Even Want To Play Soccer Or Not. That’s The Only Thing They Need. Self-Introspection. Why? Because No Amount Of Support Will Put Them In The Winners' Bracket. It’s Just Not Going To Happen.
Men Are No Different. I’m A Man Myself & I’ve Had Real Life Experiences With Men Who Are Close To The Finish Line & Men Who Are Completely Lost. The Difference Is Day & Night. Never Waste Your Life Supporting A Man Who Hasn’t Decided What He Wants. There Are No Trophies At The Bottom
