FOR HOW MUCH CAN YOU SELL YOUR HAPPINESS 1

So I go straight to the topic of the day. HOW MUCH IS YOUR HAPPINESS IF YOU'D LIKE TO SELL IT? Yes! you, you that you're reading this: I mean how much are you willing to sell your happiness for? you think I'm crazy right? thinking I must be out of my mind to ask you if you want to sell your happiness. No, I'm not crazy. I mean the offer is lucrative! someone is will to pay you as much as $1,000,000,000.00 to make you sad for the rest of your life just by marrying them: you will have a lot of money to spend at your disposal, you won't have to do a thing by yourself because there would be housemaids to do all things for you, while the only things you won't be able to do for the rest of your life are the only things that make you happy. Is it worth it?

Let me apologise for asking you this question because I know it's a scary thing to do: letting go the only things that make you happy in life while you have all the money in the world is nothing but being dead while one is still alive; living but not actually living the life they deserve. But the truth is it happens every day of our lives. I'm posting this blog with so much pain in my heart for my generation. My generation is so lost that we can't draw the line between what is good and what is not anymore. If you're still wondering what is wrong with me for saying all this, let me help tell you the latest in town.

Do you know that Lagos big girl who became popular on Instagram, twitter, facebook and other social media just by flaunting her billionaire husband's money at us? You still don't remember her? That aunty that abused one lady that day when the lady cautioned her to stop rubbing her affluent lifestyle in our face, that lady that showed us her billion Naira house and all the gym equipment she got from the billionaire husband on the Instagram. hoooooo.....please remind me of her name. That lady that made other ladies jealous of her lifestyle until they dumped their broke husbands and boyfriends because they didn't have money to spend like our aunty's husband. yes, I remembered her name now! "AUNTY DABOTA!",

 I heard she filed for divorce from her billionaire husband today and the matter is already in court. *rolling my eyes*. Please don't ask me if the money she was spending has finished because the money of a man like her now "ex-husband" cannot finish. in fact, she has not even spent 1/4 of what the man has. according to the news reaching me from my amebos (snitch) they said she mentioned irreconcilable differences in her application;  I heard, they said, she said "SHE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE MAN WAS STILL LEGALLY MARRIED TO HIS FORMER WIFE, THAT THE MAN "ALWAYS CAGED" HER IN THE HOUSE AND NEVER ALLOWED HER TO STEP OUT OF THE HOUSE."

 So I asked myself: how come she didn't know that the man was still legally married? A rich man who has all the money in the world, someone who is more than 60 years of age and already has children who are an age-mate of our aunty, why would he lie his way into her heart? Then I heard her friends who are close to her said she didn't marry the man for his money, rather for love while some said she actually marry the man because she needed money to set up her business. But after marrying him she realised her freedom would be limited and she would never be able to do what makes her happy.

 SHE GOT THE MONEY TO SPEND BUT DIDN'T GET THE HAPPINESS SHE CRAVED in the MARRIAGE, NOW WHEN SHE REALISED THAT MONEY CAN'T MAKE HER HAPPY SHE THROWS IN THE TOWEL( SHE GAVE UP). SHE'S NO MORE INTERESTED IN THE MONEY AND THIS IS PAINFUL BECAUSE WE WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE HER FLAUNT THE MONEY IN OUR FACE ANYMORE. WE MIGHT NOT EVEN HEAR OF HER ANYMORE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW HER UNTIL SHE MET THE MONEY MAN, THE WORST PART OF IT IS SHE NOW HAS TO GO BACK TO SINGLES MARKET WHERE THE RIGHT MEN MIGHT NOT BE INTERESTED IN HER AGAIN DUE TO HER IMAGE ON THE INTERNET.

So my people, why dating somebody for the wrong reason?

WARNING:  DON'T EVER DATE SOMEONE FOR THE WRONG REASON IN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE IT'S A BUSINESS WHERE SOMEONE LOSES EVERYTHING IN THE END. DON'T DATE SOMEONE BECAUSE OF MONEY. DON'T DATE SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THEIR COMPLEXION OR HEIGHT, DON'T DATE THAT PERSON BECAUSE OF HER SHAPE. IF YOU WANT TO DATE SOMEONE MAKE SURE IT'S BECAUSE THEY MAKE YOU HAPPY AND READY TO LOVE YOU WITH NO PRICE ATTACHED. WHERE THERE'S HAPPINESS THERE'S HOPE OF A BETTER LIFE AHEAD. AND MY PRAYER IS THAT WE ALL DO THE RIGHT THING IN LIFE. AMEN.

NOTE: This topic is not yet concluded because of it's nature and time, but we shall continue in the next post by God's grace. 

Yours' truly,
