Should We Really Ignore Dysfunctional Families? by Nobody: 6:01am On Jun 25, 2018 |
We keep seeing new headlines of "baby mamas" and "baby kids". And it's easy to glamorize it. But do we think of the kind of future we're preparing for the next generation? How will these "baby-mama-kids" cope with life's issues when they're being raised by essentially immature adults looking out for their own pleasure? What kind of society values would we have in the future? Would we value personal responsibility and self discipline? This isn't about being preach-y, or someone telling you how to live your life It's about realizing your life isn't lived in a vacuum: what you do affects the lives of others in ways you may not even know. Just think: where would you be if your grandfather had died when he was a baby? You have a responsibility to live the best life you can. There are people who are depending on you for that.

I'm worried for this age where women are licensed to bare it all in the name of baby showers or whatever name they call it. 25 Likes 1 Share |

KanwuliaExtra: Thanks for the feedback It's not clear whether you read through my first post or what you are actually proposing. I posted that after watching a TV programme showing facilities in some foreign countries where they keep young people from no families. These young people didn't bring themselves into the world. They were born by people who felt they had a right to please themselves without considering the consequences of their actions. By the way, most of the young people I saw on the TV programme were violent and some even suicidal. And it follows: they had no family to learn love and care from, so they naturally HATE themselves and society at large. As I noted in the first post, personal responsibility and self discipline are key. We will build a better society when we weigh our actions and the impact they could have on other people. That's one of the good things about platforms like this. We can have fruitful conversations and learn more on how to make better choices. Thanks again 55 Likes 4 Shares |

Re: Should We Really Ignore Dysfunctional Families? by Nobody: 1:07pm On Jun 25, 2018 |
Chubhie: Thanks for clarifying That's an interesting way of looking at the aggressive nature of the average Lagosian! But instead of talking of facilities, how about looking at preventing the situations that lead to dysfunctional families? For instance, through sharing ideas, more people can LEARN the impact of their personal choices on society, and DECIDE on wiser choices. It's not going to be achieved by FORCING anyone. After all, people have the freedom to choose the lives they want. However people are not free from the consequences of the choices they make. And these consequences usually have ripple effects that affect other people. Thanks again for your input 4 Likes |

Re: Should We Really Ignore Dysfunctional Families? by crackhaus: 8:07pm On Jun 25, 2018 |
alignacademy:That's it basically...in fact, I dare say this is the only way to curb the situation. The problem however is that there is only one medium for sharing ideas that is proven as the most effective, it's the 'Family Unit'. Just in case you have not come across this book ' The Jewish Phenomenon', try getting a hold of it and you'll understand how having the right foundations in a family unit serve as the most important building block behind an upstanding society. There's a reason the Jews are considered the most successful and accomplished race of humans in the world despite being the most persecuted, segregated, and smallest by numbers among all other groups. 5 Likes |

Who made you a supervisor over how others should raise their children ? Is it your responsibility to uphold the tenets of marriage for the Gods of the Octopus AI ? Marriage is not natural, it is not found in nature, it is a human construct designed to keep women as lesser mortals. There is no need for marriage other than companionship and sharing of bills and sometimes love. And love is fleeting mostly. As long as two or more people feel love for each other or one another, they have right to enjoy their sex lives and if children come during this intercourse, they should design a child support template to take care of the child's upkeep. And if the love wanes away, the partners need to separate and move on with new partners and enjoy their sex lives. This practice of living with a partner you no longer love for ever because of religions, customs and traditions, or even the fear of what people will say should stop henceforth. When the love is over, do not force it, it is natural. Even if the Gods tell you to live together, tell them to come and stay with unhappy person. Do not let the Gods dictate for you to suffer for a lifetime. If it is so easy, let them come down to 3rd Density and deal and see how life is. No parents should live together in hatred for the sole purpose of raising their children as a uniting factor, the children raise in such atmosphere are worst than those raised in atmosphere of loving single parents. Marriage is a human construct and is not important in the eternal scheme of things except you meet with your twin flame and decide to work out your karma during this life-time. I am pro-love, and not pro-marriage and if the Gods do not accept my stance, they should come here and do the time and see how it feels. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Immediately i saw the topic, i knew pple will come for d OP's head... ![]() Naturally it does look as if its not d OP's biz...yes its not his biz but it becomes our collective problem and biz when we begin to feel d ripple effect...because when we have too many dysfunctional homes in d society it will surely have domino effect on d country as a whole The Yorubas will say 'inu ile to n toro, omo ale ibe ni o ti dagba'...meaning 'a house that is peaceful is due to d fact that d bastard in d house have not come of age'... ![]() So 4 all d baby mamas and papas condemning him, e binu (make una no vex)... it's 4 our collective good ![]() Note:Not all those that come from dysfunctional homes constitute nuisance to d society, but they contribute d highest percentage to it. 7 Likes |
