  'I was stupid, I shouldn't have said or done that, I am sorry.'😞 Those were the words of a guy to a man whose wife he had insulted in a movie I watched (#Guess the movie title 😁). Let me give you a background story...😁 This guy needed answers to the mysterious sickness of his father. His mother had told him that he visited a family hours before the illness started.  This guy decided to visit the family. On getting to the family's house, he knocked on the door and was received by Mrs B into the house.  On meeting Mr B, he initiated the conversation rudely. He even disrespected Mrs B.  Mr B requested that he should apologize to his wife or leave. He chose to leave and the door shut behind him.  This guy got into his car, took a deep breathe and spent sometime thinking about what he could have done better.  He got down from his car, walked to the door and knocked.  When the door was opened this time, he made the statement 'I WAS STUPID, I SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID OR D

In the olden days, Kings use to EMPLOY wise men to seat on their right and left. The same persons that Pharaoh asked that they interpret his dreams, the same persons Nebuchadnezzar' asked to retrieve his forgotten dream and interpret or they will be killed and the same persons King Ahasuerus turned to when he was confused about what to do about Vashti's rebellion...

He must consult them before making any key decision. In the Bible, the man Ahitophel was one of David's most powerful weapon. He rarely went to battle. He was the Chief Strategist. He was the wisest of his time. When he decamped to join Absalom when Absalom wanted to kill David and D

The other day while eating at a restaurant, a guy was crying out loud (opposite of 'Lol'😂) as he narrated an incident to an elderly woman who was seated in front of him. I have never seen a man cry that loud in my life. He just couldn't hold back.  My guess is that the woman that sat before him must have been his mother. He called her Mummii (not Mummy 😂) many times.  He narrated how he is giving his all (time, ideas and resource) to a lady he intends to marry but still she keeps hurting him emotionally with words and deeds.  I was seated not too far and his voice was loud, before you call me amebo😉 When the guy was done narrating to his mother, his mother brought out her handkerchief, wiped his tears and ordered for two chilled bottles of malt from the waiter, one for herself and for her son. Some minutes later, seeing that he was calm, she started talking.  Let me tell you a story. Many years ago, two kids in an African country were having fun by throwing stones at eac
