Defend Her Honour

*

A man was arranged before a court to be prosecuted and charged with an over speeding ofense.
The judge was shocked and amazed to see a frail elderly man walking slowly towards him holding unto a stick.

He got into the witness box and greeted the judge respectfully. Good morning Judge, how are we doing today? Pretty well sir. The judge then went further to ask, what is the offence that summons you to my courtroom today sir?
Your honour, I have been charged with over speeding and missing the red light.
Oh I see... so do you plead guilty or not guilty to this offence?
I am guilty your honour.  And why is that sir? The judge asked. Well, your honour, my wife had a sudden stroke while she was trying to get my body into a comfortable position last night as we were about to sleep.

I got in total shock and I didn't know what to do at that moment. So I rushed to my old garage and took out the keys of my 1967 Chevy and drove her to the hospital. It was at one of those traffic stops that's when I got chased by the police at top speed but I thought of getting my wife to the hospital into safe  care first  before I stop for the police. So I did just that your honour.

How old are you sir? 90, your honour. What?? 90 years old and yet you took such great risk to drive so fast without thinking of the consequences that may fall on you.

Why sir? I can't charge  you on anything else beyond a fine. But I just want to hear your story. Tell me why.

Because she is worth it your honour. She had been the shinning light behind my total disgrace as a man and covered all my failures before our children.
I was an absentee father for my family, a drunkard and an abusive husband anytime I got home from my wanderings and my infidelities. But through it all, my wife kept the family together and taught  my children to respect me as a father even when I didn't deserve one  as a man.

So, you see your honour, it was my turn to defend her honour as the virtuous woman she has been for the past 60 years of our marriage. I'm ready to pay any fine you ask of me so long as you will give me the chance after that  to go and stay by her side.

Tears started flowing on people's faces in the courtroom as the man's story had touched everybody.

Often times as men, we overlook the relevance and the important roles women play in our lives. I agree,  some, may be a pain in the neck to live with.
But what about those women who dedicate their lives to making you a better husband, father, a better boyfriend and a respectable man among the rest of other men who may not see your true worth?

If she has seen you through your worst moments as a man, and still stays submissive and respectful to you as a woman,  stay true to her and adore her as much as you can.

If it seems as something unbearable and unthinkable for you to do as a man, just remember this real quick, the people who love us truly and deeply always appear as fools or needy or clingy before our eyes. But those acts are their vulnerability and pureness shown right before us.

Do not take that woman for granted especially if she goes through the pits of hell everyday just to make your ever swelling ego personality happy.

If you are blessed to have a woman like that in your life as a man,  defend her honour always at all cost.

Looking for Mr. Right And Mrs. Right

Any man who  tolerates all your nonsense as a woman and still finds you  perfect in his own eyes is your Mr. Right Likewise, any woman who tolerates all your stupidity as a man, and yet is able to submit under your authority as a man and love you is the Mrs. Right. No man or woman will check out all your boxes of being perfect or not a perfect match. Understand this one truth!!!! Here's a little revelation for us all to understand; there can be no decent woman or man just for only you. There are millions of decent people out there, just that they may not be that stunning model of a woman you're looking for or the man with six packs with a full beard. The moment you think of yourself too important to be in a different league than any other person just because you are wearing some designer dresses and suits and so you start rejecting suitors who you think are beneath your overrated standards, remember quickly that we all have our flaws. To help you reflect on this better, ...

How Failure Breeds Great Achievers

I get asked by many people a lot of times... Why do you always like writing motivational stories and messages to inspire others. What inspires you, and what do you get from doing that  every morning anyway? My answer has always been simple. To prevent people  especially you from giving up in life when you face the least form of failure. My greatest wish is to provide hope, faith and reason for you not to give up in life. I would like you to think of me   as your symbol of Inspiration for each day. Most people, ironically, think  that people who always inspire, motivate and encourage other people don't have problems,  they think they have a cozy and smooth life, that's why they are able to encourage people. But believe me, that's not true. On the contrary, those kind of people like me, are the kinds of people facing all sorts of problems, challenges and difficulties in life. The trick here, however is, I have chosen to look at  my failures, challe...

Everything Is Temporary

Corona Virus has proved that everything around us is so temporary. Things that our lives revolved around...work, gym, malls, movies and other social activities have all gone for a toss. These were things which used to occupy our time and attention virtually everyday, so much that we neglected what was most important to us in the first place. We are learning to live without them now, as our only option these days, is to stay indoors to keep ourselves safe. It is teaching us all  one thing,  that in the end, our home and families really matter. They are our point of safety in difficult times like these. So should this crisis come to an end, which will be very soon,   do know where your priorities lie henceforth. It is not in your work, or your insatiable ambitions. It is with your family.
