@Gathinga..how does one deal with the roving eye lol. When i was in high school i loved this song "Can you be reach and be ghetto" What to me translated is that can you be successful and still be cool and live the life so to speak as opposed to being stuck up with a stiff upper lip.

I did my undergrad in the US and my post grad here..in other words been there done that, what you see on movies bout US colleges is all true, the parties, orgies, drugs.. Having said that i feel i lived my youth to the fullest as the Bible tells us, and quite frankly nothing seems to surprise or shock me. One thing i learnt all what you see out there is the same, just packaged differently...more often than not you will get disappointed.

Meanwhile Darth Vader (George Osborne) strikes again..in the budget Capital Gains tax has risen to 28% WTF!!!

Many years ago there lived a priest who was deeply committed to his faith and would pray diligently every morning. One day a stray cat wandered into the parish compound where the priest was deep in prayer and the cat, seeking warmth, began to rub against the priest distracting him from prayer. This went on for a few days until the priest decided to buy a leash for the cat. So when the cat came into the compound the priest would tether the cat to the leash and continue with his prayers.

After a couple of years, the priest was getting on and a new priest came to the parish to take over from the older priest. They prayed together every morning and the cat without fail was at the compound tethered to the leash. The younger priest never questioned the presence of the cat during the morning prayers.

Soon thereafter the elderly priest died and the younger priest took over the running of the parish. He too prayed every morning and the cat came and was tethered to the leash.

Unfortunately the cat also died and the young priest wishing to carry on with tradition went out and bought another cat, tethered it to the leash and continued with the morning prayers.

This anecdote illustrates some of the beliefs we carry forward from yesteryear without thought. We end up embracing them because we found those before us doing the same. The few that question these beliefs are often told it’s our culture or it’s our tradition. More often than not this is because the real reasons these beliefs came to be were lost along the way.

I think we seriously need to have a long hard look at the institution of marriage in light of the ever changing environment that we now live in. Just like the world today where you either innovate or die, the same can be said for the notion of marriage.
