Everything wrong with « gender-equality »



 In a society where most of the credit goes to the male's role, the motive of a successful career and financial independency pushes everybody out there to a work that gets quick results and valid acknowledgment. Actually, the whole economic system encourages and incites people, equally men and women, towards this achievement, and this is not necessarily a bad thing, but here is the deal:

Happiness dilemma: a curse or a blessing?




Have you ever wondered why were you not as thrilled as you imagined you would be once you graduated, bought the latest phone, a brand new car, settled in a comfy house, got a better job, went on your dream vacation…? When our hopes and desires come finally true, why aren’t we extremely happy but rather lightly satisfied? The same goes for bad and unfortunate events; you can be fired, lose all of your money and your house, get sick, experience the death of a dear one… And you’ll may assume that if such hardship occurs, you’ll be awfully miserable and sad, but the truth is, you’ll feel down for a short period of time only to get back to your mildly dissatisfied mode. In other words, no one is ever fully happy or fully depressed in the long run, regardless the external circumstances. It got us thus wondering if this broadly stable state of mind is a wicked curse or is it a liberating gift instead!

What’s wrong with us?



We’ve been told that “What we believe in is right and the other’s beliefs are wrong. Our religion is perfect while the other religions are corrupted.

We grew up believing that our powerful and enlightening religion is the key to a peaceful and prosper life, yet as adults we get struck by the awful reality; we live in a constant fear, corruption, injustice, violence, and  virtual disaster. Why?

The F*cked up Marriage



Here is a plain and short scenario that you are probably acquainted with: there is a guy, he has a job, maybe a car or a house, he is single but he’s thinking of settling down. And there is a girl, she is pretty, obedient, knows how to cook, maybe has a job, she is single but her surroundings think it’s time for her to settle down. The twist here is that the guy wants someone to satisfy his sexual needs, someone who would wash his clothes, cook and take care of the house and his children. The girl on the other hand wants to be married for the status itself and be normal according to the society’s standards. But who cares about the plot, let’s just skip directly to the denouement part: Male + Female = A freaking Wedding. Yaaay everybody’s happy.
