Recently, there has been an upsurge in the campaignagainst abusive relationships. Despite the warcry against women staying in abusive relationships, some of them still choose to stay. I've really pondered and asked myself why some women choose to remain under such circumstances. Here are possible answers to the question on my mind: 1.  Money : This seems to be about the greatest raison d'être that makes some women remain in broken relationship. They wrongly believe that it is better to suffer in wealth than to laugh in poverty. 2.  No Where To Go : This especially applies to women who marry men in another country (possibly better than theirs) and move over there with him. They tend to manage the domestic abuse for the want of a better life where they are and possible lack of another place to stay in that location. 3.  Inferiority Complex : Truthfully, some women stay in abusive relationships because they find themselves in an unfortunate situation where not too ...

Impedance = Z Well, you know what they say: ‘Whatever has an advantage also has a disadvantage’? Pretence, as fine an art as it is, isn’t any different. Sometimes you’re not so sure something will work. Scientists call it Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, but here we’ll call it the impedance to pretence. Now, let’s go on to look into some factors that could curtail or impede the workability coefficient of The Fine Art of Pretence. First on the list is KNOWLEDGE. You know that thing about your not wanting to know something because you can’t face it and yet you can’t hide from it?

Yeah, I know some folks have become so philosophical with that cliché, albeit expectedly, that they now aver that knowledge is power only when applied. I don’t know what more to say to such unreaso...

HOW NOT TO CROSS THE LINE INTO STUPIDITY I have met a lot of stupid people, but none worse than those who either don’t know how to conceal their knowledge and emotions or haven’t learnt how to flaunt it at the right time. These two groups of people are, to me, some of the worst human beings on the circle of the earth. Here’s the reason. The former, like brute beasts, are destroyed by the very powers and prowess they possess. For the latter, they want to please everybody and be the beast of burden. Earlier we had said a little on quiet people being very dangerous. Now, as sweet as that sounds, it’s not always true. I know about the empty barrel that makes the loudest noise, but hey, even an empty barrel can be coated with thick rubber or leather so that it makes little or no noise. I’ll tell you this: if someone is so often quiet, it simply means they don’t think they have something useful to contribute to the pool of wisdom and don’t want to s...
