In my life, I have made a vow to be at the service of others. Everyone comes first and I come last. No wonder I am poor. Such is the spirit of civic duty coursing through my veins that I always want to improve the lot of the next individual. It is a calling. I am a great believer in pre-destiny. I take the view that every one of us has their path mapped out the moment they enter this world. Some will be thieves. They will end up as thieves no matter what their parents do for them. That is just the way society is organised. Others will be killers. They will kill at a certain point in their lives. I am sure you have heard of people who commit murder in their seventies.
As far as I am concerned, from the moment they arrived in this world they were pre- destined to kill.
It matters little that it took them over sixty years to do it. The point is they were born to be killers and they simply delivered on what life had set out for them. Fortunately, there are those who do good deeds as well. Take your religious leader. The person could have chosen to follow a different vocation. In fact some of them start off as drinkers and fornicators. Then, at some point, they find salvation and embrace good ways. To me that is no big deal. The drinking and fornication were just a diversion in the pre-destination to priesthood. I don?t know my ultimate calling in life. But, in the meantime, I am a person who does good things for other people. I also dish out free advice to those in need of it. Some of the people I like giving advice are women. I sympathise with women because they tend to be weak. What more, a lot of them are under the magic spell of cunning men. They are in the thrall of men and swallow, hook, line and sinker all that men say. That is why I admire prostitutes. I am sure they were pre-destined to be prostitutes. Don?t give me any arguments about poverty and fatherless children. That doesn?t wash with me. There are lots of women around who live in poverty and head households comprising children from different fathers. They have never resorted to prostitution.
The reason is simple. They were not pre-destined to be prostitutes. The reason why prostitutes were made was so that they could teach their fellow women folk a lesson. But because of listening to their men, very few women get to learn from prostitutes. Like I said before, the word prostitute was invented by men to shame women. Men figured out that the only way to get free sex was to tarnish the image of those who were not prepared to give it out for free. In this evil crusade to dis-empower their sisters, many women joined the side of men. They too referred to other women as prostitutes. The men folk winked slyly at one another and knew that sex would be forever free, except from the prostitutes.
Easy. How women are still unable to figure out this act of fraud remains a source of wonder to me. I am sometimes minded to say it?s their fault if they want to be used. But as a person pre-destined to do good unto others, I will keep on trying. As the song says, ?all my life I have been a lonely man, teaching, teaching people who don?t understand.? I won?t give up. Just this week, something happened that further inspired me. When the Soviet Union collapsed, communists all over the world wept rivers of tears. They were so sad. It was like they had lost a parent. They wondered how they were going to survive without communism. What they never asked themselves was why people who lived under communism were glad to see the back of the system. It?s an irony that the most ardent communists are those who have never lived under the system. I guess it?s all well and good to praise the virtues of a terrible system when one is faraway living under a more benign system where they can say what they like and go where they please. But besides the weeping of textbook communists, a few ex communists struck gold in the aftermath of the collapse. It was a chaotic time and whoever could lay their hands on state resources did so. One such individual was called Roman Abramovich. I think he is younger than me. But today he is filthy rich.
Although I would like to be rich, I don?t envy the man. I want clean money. With this particular gentleman, his money is not clean. He just looted the resources of the dying communist state. Anyway Roman is said to be one of the richest people in the world. But just last week it was announced that he and the wife were divorcing. Couples divorce everyday. But this one was remarkable. Apparently in terms of the settlement the wife is going to walk away with five billion for 16 years of marriage. Yep, five billion British Pounds! For locals who never strayed far from their village that is 50 billion pula. Now the money might have been looted from the state but it is still legal tender. Soon, Mrs Abramovich will be sitting tidy. Here is one woman who made a killing from her union with a man.
The divorce settlement will be the largest ever in the history of divorces. I want all women to learn from Mrs Abramovich. She is sitting pretty because she married the right man, albeit a thief. I don?t understand why women are obsessed with the notion of love. It?s just another tactic by man to get free sex. Another piece of fraud. Instead, I would advise my sisters to cultivate an obsession with the size of the bank balance. The bank balance means eternal happiness. During the time of marriage, the woman doesn?t lack for anything. She enjoys the good life. In the instance of divorce, she also takes home a hefty share of the estate and continues to be happy. So many women are either married or dating poor men. I don?t know what they hope to achieve.
I mean, you even have women going around with a chap who will never own a car. Just how does somebody walk around with a pedestrian? It?s all in the name of a scam called love. But a poor man will never provide happiness. Happiness will only come from a rich man. Because of the word prostitute, many women will never sell the one precious commodity they have. In that case, they must now change strategy and go for rich men. They must ditch their useless and impoverished partners and cultivate rich men. It will also get lazy men off their bums. When they realise they are sex starved because they are poor they too will start working hard to be rich. So, c?mon sisters, ditch your hopeless and impoverished pedestrians and hook up with rich men!
