TRUE LOVE IS RISKY BUSINESS

Whoever said the game of true love is not for the faint hearted wasn’t kidding. It’s probably one of the riskiest games as it involves emotional ties. Rihanna compares true love to the dangerous game of Russian roulette. She says:

 “and you can see my heart beating. You can see it through my chest Said I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving. I know that I must pass this test so just pull the trigger”

Now the game of Russian roulette is a potentially lethal game of chance in which a player places a single round in a revolver, spins the cylinder, places the muzzle against their head, and pulls the trigger. It involves the element of risk-taking and the spinning of the revolver’s cylinder being reminiscent of spinning a roulette wheel. This game originated from Russia and was usually played along with shots of Vodka.

When you truly love someone, you are giving yourself away to that person. The bullet in the head in the essence is the fact that your lover may not love you back or dump you or the fact that you never moved on after the loss or death of that lover.

Probably one of the best love story of all time Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare explains the dangerous and neediest side of love. When Romeo learnt of Juliet’s death he decided to kill himself rather than live without her. He bought a vial of poison from a reluctant Apothecary, sped back to Verona, drunk the poison and took his own life at Juliet’s tomb. At the same time, Juliet awakes and sees her beloved Romeo and realizes he has killed himself with poison. She kisses his poisoned lips, and when that does not kill her, buries his dagger in her chest, falling dead upon his body.

Love has the ability to make you feel glorious but also has the ability hurt you deeply and the faint hearted should never experience true love only that very often than not they experience it.

Ancient Mythology was not silent about true love. Cupid is the most famous of Valentine symbols and everybody knows that boy armed with bow and arrows, and piercing hearts. He is known as a mischievous, winged child armed with bow and arrows. The arrows signify desires and emotions of love, and Cupid aims those arrows at Gods and Humans, causing them to fall deeply in love. Cupid has always played a role in the celebrations of love and lovers. In ancient Greece he was known as Eros, the young son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. To the Roman’s he was Cupid, and his mother was Venus.

Cupid is depicted to be holding a bow and arrows because in the ancient time bows and arrows were one of the best weapons used in war that would quickly and stealthily kill their intended victim. This showed that love in its nature has a dangerous and often stealth nature and quite frankly sure that if those ancient guys had guns, that baby would be shown holding a silencer gun or a silencer pistol instead of the out dated bow and arrow.

True love is the utmost feeling that manifests in unselfishness, sharing, caring and love of your lover above self yet often if poisoned or poorly guided manifest itself as dependency and neediness for your lover. With true love there is a feeling that you have seized to be an independent person but rather your emotions become intertwined with your lover emotions which is sometimes a good thing.

Often True love has to be fought for and tested. It may come on a silver plate or as result of calculated moves but either way it has to be fought for, tested and proven. This is why I say that true love is not for the faint hearted, it is for the strong warriors that would go to the end of the earth and back fighting for their true love.

Every one experiences love at some point in their lives but only a few experience true love. True love is deep love, deeper than ordinary love. It is the joining of two souls to be one and feel each other. The bond of true love is hard to break and cause a lot of pain and suffering when attempting to break them. One of the times when you can feel this bond is during sex.

True love is sweet and a blissful place but is also a game of Russian roulette and any time the bullet may hit you. My advice is that when you are lucky enough to experience true love, make sure you enjoy every moment of it to the fullest because time always comes when you miss it. We love many people in our lives but only true love is experienced with a single person in a lifetime.

TIPS ON HOW TO GET A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP

One of the most common dilemmas is that why it’s hard for some people to find relationships that work out. Some people every 5 months or less keep changing lovers / relationships as though they are cars. But despair not; today I’m giving you practical solutions to your predicament.

The mistake made by most people is that they only follow their hearts when making relationship decisions. Many factors must be considered before making any emotional or relationship decisions. It is for this reason that I recommend that all of us should have relationship advisors preferably one of our friends.

We have to accept the fact that we are now living or moving towards a fast world and as such the dating system in this generation is non-functional and does no longer meet the needs of the 21st Century.  This means that new alternatives should be invented.

One solution I recommend is that before you enter a relationship, it is imperative that you first make a feasibility study like those made before investing money in any business. This means intense research so as to find someone with a very good compatibility rate.

What should be included in the feasibility study for your relationship?

    First and foremost is finding out what you really need or want: is it a relationship, a fling, a friend or a lover.

    if it is a relationship that you seek find out and list down your specifications and expectations of the relationship and also list down the primary ones (those you can’t compromise on) and the secondary ones (those you can compromise on)

    Upon finding that out, you should embark on a search for a person who fulfills your requirements.

    If there is already someone in line, then match those requirements and see if he or she meets your specifications and expectations.

    As soon as that is ascertained, make research and find out the expectations of your potential suitors and see if you can meet them or if you can match them.

Do not just blindly fall in love and end up in a relationship because your heart says so, use your brain.

Duty, Honor and Country

“The code which those words perpetuate embraces the highest moral laws and will stand the test of any ethics or philosophies ever promulgated for the uplift of mankind. Its requirements are for the things that are right, and its restraints are from the things that are wrong.” General Douglas MacArthur

Today as my hair was being trimmed by this barber who was talking good care and precaution trimming my beard; I could not help but remember and compare him to the barber who had previously trimmed my hair and beard. That prior barber was a disaster to my hair, In addition to trimming it without care and precision, he also caused reactionary pimples in my beard. This was because he seemed not to be interested in his work and lacked the love for it.

As this barber was trimming my hair neatly with due precision, I realized that he liked his job and enjoyed doing it.  I continued to think that perhaps the reason why Ugandans are corrupt or do unsubstantial work or have no regard for the rule of law especially when it comes to soldiers or why armies in Uganda have always been personal armies, it is because Ugandans have never understood the meaning of duty, honor and country.

Those three words should be the rallying point of every Ugandan citizen whether in the Executive, legislature, Judiciary, army or even the public service.

Those words respectfully dictate what every Ugandan ought to be, what they can be and what they will be.

Ugandan history has been marred by selfish Ugandans be it in government leadership, army, public service who place their interest above the interest of the country. Over the past years our country has been marred by coups, human rights abuses, corruption. This is because we have never understood what is expected of us as Citizens of this beloved country as leaders, public servants, army servants or even as private citizens.

We have a motto that reads “FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY” but we have and shown utter disregard for that motto. In Uganda we have never had an army loyal to its people but instead we have seen every regime coming with a different army. Armies in Uganda are loyal to their leader rather than being loyal to Uganda and its people.

Uganda has suffered as a result of corruption and misappropriation of state funds by people who shame the honor that comes with being a citizen of Uganda and serving as a Citizen of this country. This all has shown that Ugandans have never understood their duty towards this country that we all call home.

It is for this reason that we have had indiscipline’s in the armies that have pretended to serve Uganda. Such armies have facilitated coups, looted other neighbouring countries minerals and disregarded human and constitutional rights all the way proving that they lack the essential citizenry code of honor, duty and country.

These three words should be the basis for our revival as a nation, the basis for revival of our national character, the return of meaning and purpose of the nations creed ‘For God and my Country’ and a new foundation that will make posterity grateful that their forefathers in the end fought for the revival and betterment of the motherland Uganda.
