Life was different 50 years ago.
Life during Apartheid was difficult as racism inspired futility.
Laptops, big screen TV’s, interconnectivity and social media did not exist. Oddly, we had security, electricity and water was available. Today, we have limited security, water and electricity but lots of technology and connectivity, yet murder and violent crime is increasing despite the billions spent.
Logic suggest we just return the Death Penalty.
Today, everyone demands some or other “rights”. Yet few people talk about duty and accountability.
Jews, Christians and Muslims are advised by the Torah, Bible and Quran that men and woman are meant to marry. However since gender equality has been juxtaposed to create a set-up where everyman is held a likely villain, we must be wary of unknown dangers lurking in the shadows.
Example, the philosophy of Charlie Harper in the American sitcom “Two and a half Men states, if you have someone to clean your house and get “regular action” on the side, why get married”?
Many single woman date and share intimacy after “dinner and a movie” as depicted in cinema, TV and social media and hedonism is shown as logical and ideal. This behaviour appears key to the fundamentalist self-indulgent ethic inspired by a jihadist like hostile imperialistic western culture.
Since this trend began in Europe decades ago where folk cohabit and few marry, European woman are re-evaluating their “freedom”. In a “Time magazine” study these woman speak of an emptiness.
Because of war, homosexuality, poverty, lack of charm etc. the pool of eligible men is fast declining.
Also, eligible men have more options as the “brides for sale” trade across Eastern Europe and the Far East is escalating as these woman marry to escape poverty.
Study your own extended family and witness the increasing single woman as eligible men rethink marriage. Modern men fear the spiritual, psychosomatic and financial duty towards a full-time wife.
Oddly, legalising prostitution benefits men as these “liberated woman” can now be hired per hour.
In the world today there are millions who do not know their fathers. We are breeding generations of bastards, the technical term for those born out of wedlock. Soon most Europeans will be bastards.
The point is, be careful from whom you take advice as the wicked and stupid also share opinions.
It is better to return to the collective wisdom of the Torah, Bible and Quran which is the origin of truth and wisdom. These text have also guided humankind for more than 5000 years.
