Life in the 21st century

Life in the 21st century is like riding in  a stationary cycle class,
You work up a sweat  but you pretty much stay the same play,
your body mileage-meter adds up the mileage but You are just exhausted and
that is about all you get out your efforts.

At the start of many romantic relationships… one does not have a clue as to where the relationship
is heading, or where it will end up. Many folks have their own plans for their futures, while others don’t.
Women (of the past) use to just hitch their wagon unto the guy they thought would lead them
to promise land.
But things have changed for many women, where they are the creators and leaders of their futures,
so they are not always hitching their wagons… because many guys don’t even have a plan as to
where they are going.

Real life example: I watched a young couple that lived across from my home in a small house the
husband was allowed to live in after his dad died. He was a son of a once upon a time affair,
not acknowledge as an heir, so his stepmom was ok with the housing arrangements because it
did not interfere with her daughters’ inheritance.
Dad made sure all of his daughter born in wedlock were taken care of even though some of them
didn’t have the future goals he intended for them. One had built a large home with a swimming pool,
on a lot he gave her, just before she got married but that marriage did not last.
Not sure what the other daughters did with their lives.

But the outside son and his wife started off very humble with their plans until they had a daughter.
Then suddenly the wife wanted more than he had to offer.
She accused the husband of not having any ambition. The enhancement he made to make
the little house when their daughter was born to make their living condition better... was no longer
adequate. And she started hounding him, so he insisted that she get a job. She did, and all changed.
She now had her own money and he had to spend his money on her and his daughter.
Her money was hers to do with as she chose. If he could not afford something she wanted he’d
better work overtime or hustle up the money on weekends some how.. Or she would start
an argument and storm out, and leave a for a few days taking his daughter with her.
Needless to say, that marriage ended in a divorce.
Now his freedom from her is him on a long leash.
She now uses his daughter to pull his chain…..

I Asked him how he is enjoying the single life.
And he grumbles an answer that you have to strain to hear his answer.   

The fact that he is not living the life that he meant to live is evident
because he hardly ever spends any time at home, his and her needs keep him hustling.

 

The harmony and the dreams you share in the beginning often get derailed by
life’s happenings after you commit! Every day I'm hustling!
