ROMEO AND JULIET versus GRANDPA AND GRANDMA love

It's a man's responsibility to provide for the home; in fact the last time a woman did, they were both kicked out of the garden of Eden (on the lighter side though). Brethren, make money before ''thinking'' of women. Even in the bible, (Job) comes before (Romans). You find some graduates bragging that they can't do some jobs just because they got a degree. Just to remind you, a thermometer has got 100 degrees, yet it works under armpits. Stay humble.

The point is that prior proper preparation prevents poor performance. [''He who swallows a complete coconut must have absolute trust in his anus'' - MUGABE]. Focusing on how it begins at the expense of how it ends is like insulting the big mouth of the crocodile when you haven't finished crossing the river. True Love isn't Romeo and Juliet who died Together but Grandma and Grandpa who grew up together.

As ladies, don't be casted in (Acts) of spreading your legs like rumours because of the (Judges) he bought you or the fact that, ''he can make me ride (Micah)''. As guys, it's not all about her (Luke) and (Esther). [''Virginity is (one of) the best wedding gifts any man would receive from his newly wed wife but lately, there’s nothing as such any longer because it’ll have already been given out as a Birthday gift, token of Appreciation, Job assurance, Church collection, Examination marking schemes and for Lorry fares!” - MUGABE]. Who says husbands no more appreciate virginity as a gift. If you aren't a virgin any more, whether as a guy or as a lady, you can still make chastity a packaged gift to your spouse. Talking about the time for being chaste, the time starts now irrespective of being a male or a female. The time to prepare is now.

[''We are living in a generation where people 'in love' are free to touch each others' private parts but cannot touch each others' phones because they're 'private'” - MUGABE]. Celebration of continuous love isn't without a price. Whether guy or lady; trust, openness, partnership, tolerance and tenacity are gifts you can package for your spouse. Work on yourself to be just right for your partner. Remember how it all ends matters much. Guage the level of your preparation. If you take the low battery warning on your phone seriously, then better take this warning on preparation seriously too. To be fore warned is to be fore-armed. Don't let your lack of preparation promote divorce.

EMOTIONAL CUDDLES - friendship; attention; part seven (07)

        
.

       

.
Complimenting a well dressed person (especially ladies that put effort into it), appreciating kind gestures, celebrating friends on media (birthday and likes), informal phone calls, text messages without special occasions, leaving encouraging comments on posts and articles that bless you, being generous with smiles, not taking people's needs foregranted etc. are all examples of giving attention which many neglect. Attention can be seen as innocent emotional cuddles and nobody was created too BROKE to PAY attention. Enjoying attention may be more obvious with ladies but even Adam needed it. Every single person needs attention.
.

EMOTIONAL CUDDLES - friendship; attention; part seven (07)

Love could be defined as friendship set on fire but attention is one of the very cores of friendship. Attention is the rarest and purest form of generousity. It feels amazing to have someone's undivided attention, yet it's so easy to give less attention, without knowing it, to that one person we love or who loves us more than anything else. Attention is a sign that you care about your friendship with another person. It's selfish complaining no one sent you a seasonal message at a certain period without you sending to others; maybe the person has a right to complain you didn't send either. You musn't be the one being called all the time; why not put a call through to your friends/friend. You saw nine missed calls and it means nothing to you ( feeling If it's really important, he/she will call again), late replies to chats without explanations not to talk of no replies at all, one-one word chat messages when the other person is sending sentences etc.
.
Though one person can make a difference in improving the overall quality of the friendship, it is built on joint activities and common interest. Best friendships continue to thrive because each person makes their partner's needs just as important as their own. ''Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager'' - Susan Sontag. Giving quality attention is a gift from you to others and not for trade by barter. It's a character of those that influence lives. It's a virtue built on patience. He who desires to make friends must show himself friendly except you don't want to be friends with a particular person.
.
Love can be really painful but even more painful is when you are trying to stop it. It's so hard to pretend not to love a person when you really do. Authenticity always encompasses risks. Love's labour never gets lost; it just finds its way to places we fail to see; every experience is meant to make us better persons, if not, then the process you passed through becomes a waste. Love is a gift; loving someone over time only becuse you want something/love in return becomes a business. Years/time spent in stuffing emotions of desire without communicating it can backfire as emotional attatchment. Years of stuffing grief without facing those uncomfortable issues can backfire into a negative cycle of relationship.
.
The fuel of communication can be seen as attention. Clear communication can easily become priority if their isn't a need to hustle for attention. Receiving attention gives a welcome feeling. Over time it can build openess and freeness in the sphere of communications which enhances trust and connectivity. Attention attracts pure affection of love. A kid is easily drawn to his/her mum because of her attention which stirs affection. Some kids tend to love their dad more as they grow because he succeeds in paying attention to an area of their lives that suits their needs with respect to love language; so knowing the love language of your friend is an edge for better friendship since it gets you atuned with their needs, wants and desires the more.
.
As long as humanity is concerned, there's no different tribes without elements of similar vibes. No matter how different the genders, we can still have the same agenda. We shouldn't take advantage of our differences to invite hatred. Be quicker to listen and think than you are to speak. Patience builds far more than it repairs. Words either build emphatic bridges or create waste lands of distance between friends. Consciously give room for attention, to ehance healthy communication.

TRUST - friendship; the best way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him; part eight (08)

        

.

       

.
["Deciding whether or not to trust a person is like deciding whether or not to climb a tree, because you might either get a wonderful view from the top or simply get covered in sap, and for this reason many people choose to spend their time alone and indoors, where it's harder to get a splinter" - LEMONY SNICKET] The sphere of trust is where we share our deepest secrets and freely stand most exposed; where we sacrifice for others without losing ourselves. Trust may be risky since mistrust makes life difficult but distrust makes life a prison. ["Relationships of trust depend on our willingness to look not only to our interest, but also the interest of others." - PETER FARQUHARSON] ["It is more shameful to distrust one's friends than to be deceived by them" - FRANCOIS]. Be it friendship or relationship, all bonds are built on trust; without trust, you got no good foundation; no relationship without communication, no love without respect, no foundation without trust; without the foundation, there is no reason to continue building. Relationships void of trust where partners play detective is not worth keeping except the issue with trust can be successfully resolved.

TRUST - friendship; the best way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him; part eight (08)

A relationship with no trust is like a cell phone with no service. All you do is play games. I can love you without trusting you. ["To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved" - GEORGE MACDONALD] It's not about terms and conditions or promises and loving declarations; a good relationship is built on trust and loyalty. One unique feature which the best of friendships can't exist without is trust. ["One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life" - E.M. FORSTER]. When a friend always tells you about her problems, it doesn't mean that he/she complains; it means he/she trusts you, except he tells every acquaintance about his/her problems. It's normal to feel jealous about friends of the opposite sex which you have even the slightest erotic attraction to, but uncool not to let your partner go out into the world, and trust that he/she will come back.
.
When you have a good heart, you trust and love too much and seemingly hurt the most. ["You may be deceived if you trust too much but you will live in torment unless you trust enough" - FRANK CRANE] Trust is letting go of needing to know all the details before you open your heart. Succeeding in cheating someone doesn't necessarily make the cheated a fool; it means the cheated only trusted the cheater more than he/she deserved. The fact that broken trust is disheartening doesn't stop distrust from being expensive; it hinders openness and a free flow in communication, tolerance and tenacity, faithfulness to commitments etc. The fact that humans can fail us doesn't mean we have to scan all the people we meet with a lens of distrust before trusting them; the knowledge that someone doesn't trust you will certainly affect your friendship with that person. The best of your future will remain a shadow of your past if you continue letting your past control your present. ["The inability to open up to hope is what blocks trust" - ELIZABETH GILBERT] [ "ultimately, there can be no complete healing until we have restored our primal trust in life" - GEORG FEUERSTEIN]
.
["Without trust, words become hollow sounds of.a wooden gong. With trust, words become life itself" - JOHN HAROLD] ["You can't shake hands with a clenched fist" - INDIRA GANDHI] ["Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great" - RALPH EMERSON] Don't just trust but be trustworthy. ["Trust and honesty is an investment you put in people" - RACHEL SCOTT]

COMMUNICATION - friendship; unspoken words to spoken words; part six (06)

        
.

       

.
Sometimes, you don't like a person because they remind you of something you don't like about yourself. Most great relationships start from a place of conflict and evolve into something richer. Master your fear rather than be enslaved by it and communicate your concerns to make the paths clear of a relationship with misunderstandings. Note that no one likes to hear what he or she is doing wrong all the time, hence, in expressing your feelings or concerns, know the difference between speaking cordially calmly and nagging.

COMMUNICATION - friendship; unspoken words to spoken words; part six (06)

Without communication, people are left confused, upset and unsure in any given situation; don’t jeopardize a good thing just because you don’t want to communicate. Silent reactions kill the flow while worded action thrills the glow. Such reactions paint dirt on emotions without being caught in the art. Ignoring someone and not telling him or her why you’re acting as so is immature. Stop playing hard-to-get when there isn’t a game to be played. Rather than giving a cold shoulder, talk about it and clear up any confusion or misunderstanding.
.
Silent reaction stir ill feelings infested with misunderstandings; talk it out. If something has been unspoken; yearn for it. Something spoken too can be misinterpreted; that's why communication never ends its cycle. While silence often waters the root of bitterness, dialogue is the Golden Bridge that keeps friends together. Friendship isn't built on monologue but dialogue; it differs from tutoring; friendship is mutual and takes more than one party to work. Let your communication be open, honest and free of power.
.
Action to communicate your feelings, standards or what you want from a certain type of relationship is more effective than silent reactions; it blends intonations of agreement without exploding detonations of disagreement. Understanding actions appeal to emotions while misunderstanding reactions peels emotion which was on track, away from it's goal. Never say good bye if you still want to try. Don't give up and say you don't love a person anymore if unspoken words lurk in your heart. Transform those unspoken words to spoken words. Never give up if you feel you can still go on.
