Stop Over Sexing Us.

 I don't know where the idea of using sex as a sub-theme, or point of attraction for marketing every product came from. But one thing I'll say, Whoever is the originator of that idea deserves to be flogged in the public.
 It is almost impossible to avoid the picture of a half-naked, (sometimes, even naked) lady every where I go. It is staring at me from the Billboard, the magazine cover, the center-fold of almost every newspaper, almost all adverts I come across, as well as products pack. And to these promoters and packagers, it doesn't even matter what product it is, they just can't wait to sex it up as much as possible. From T-shirt, to toothpaste, to toiletries, to food, to sport merchandise, to even schools. You name it, before you count up to ten of it's adverts, you are sure to find one with a half-nude lady, or shirtless guy on it. I actually would not be surprised to find a Church advertising it's service with something like this, or even a funeral home. (Although I'm surely going to get even more offended.)
 For goodness sake, not every product needs to be sexed before we'll purchase it, some of us are actually offended by this stuffs, as they do a great damage to young people, who might want to remain chaste, as it puts them under immense pressure to engage in sexual activity.
 It puts a big strain on relationships, as well as marriages,  as some women cannot stand their spouse staring at the almost naked image of another woman, even when the guy is not aware of it, but it just happens to be in his line of view.
 It is in almost every movie as well as musical video we see on both satellite and terrestrial T.V. Images that a few years back will be rated for adult viewing only, are now rated PG, and in some instances, they are even deemed fit for general viewing. Time and again, parents as well as kids have felt embarrassed, when an inappropriate image pops up on the screen, and it's actually impossible to take it off.
 This act has a lot of damaging effect on our society, and most dangerous of it is that it trivialize sex, making it loose it's role, value and importance, thereby making the younger generation who might have engaged in it loose value for family structure. It also make the youth loose the respect they are suppose to have in an appropriate manner for the opposite sex, as they most of the time feel they've seen it all.
 This is a plea to content providers, movie and music makers, advertisers, as well as regulatory agencies. Please, be kind enough to reduce, or as much as possible remove sexual content from your product. It will do us more good than bad. Help us save our society, Help us preserve decency, and the small form of humaneness left in us. Thank You.

Bible Verse Of The Day: Psalm 1 vs 1

 
 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Man's Quest For Perfection.

 Since time immemorial, Man's desire has been to be the best among his peers, to meet the needs of his family and all his benefactors, to be the best at what he does, and many other things.
 But over the years, we've come to term the achievement of this goals as diffrent things, Goodness, Greatness, Awesomeness, and finally Perfection. 
 Considering the difficulty in acheiving this lofty heights and aspiration, people generally come to the conclussion that acheiving perfection is impossible.
 That happens to be the first and biggest mistake most people make, their belief that perfection is impossible to attain puts a big limitations ontheir life, thoughts, beliefs, behavior and relationship.
 But I've learnt a lesson over the years, our defination of perfection and success differs, and it's more about what works for you, as well as it's relationship and function to you and everyone with you.
 It might be difficult or totally impossible to please everyone, but if you are able to get to some level of expertise at the things that matter the most to you, then you've attained perfection.
 Basically, as a guy, perfection is being able to take good care of your family, being a good and faithful husband to your wife, a good father to your children, being able to share a couple of interest, time and meaningful conversation with your wife and kids, Being good up to the required level of professionalism at your job, taking good care of your parent, as well as you In-Laws, Being a good friend to all your friends, contributing positively to the lives of everyone around you, and giving a helping hand to anyone you can.
 In doing this, you might step on people's toes, displease some people, and fail to satisfy everyone. But if these people do not have direct consequences on the outcome of your actions, then you are on the right path.
 Remember, You can not please everyone, But in your little way, you can make you touch, maybe not in everyone's life, but atleast in the life of those that matter to you.
 Perfection is Possible, Impossiblity is Nothing, It is all in your mindset.
