Christmas is upon us. that time of the year where bells are jingling, a baby's birth is celebrated and people, do people things.

Masculinity like many other things today is complex, with a lot of nuances and idiocy to it. This episode focuses on one of those idiocies. The concept of the alpha male as regards modern men is a phenomenon that has been plaguing the internet for almost a decade. Let's dive in and explore a bit, what the concept of the alpha male is. PS: talking about this was mentally exhausting

As a finale to the ongoing series on Romance, go on this auditory journey with me as we talk about our e(x)s and what marriage vows should be like. Headphones and the like, deeply recommended.

----------------

The idea of settling currently in our society is very controversial for not so obvious reasons. In this episode, the conversation with Rita revolves around the question "Should we settle or we have no choice but to settle?".

We all have out encounters with romance and the romantic. Directly or indirectly. But what inspired our modern approach to love and romance.

Every african child (i think) has had that faithful encounter with dear 'ol cane. Our view of what it means to discipline a child is weirdly broken (in my opinion). So, listen to me rant on and on about it. But there are gems here tho!

According to google, Useless means (informal) having no ability or skill in a specified activity or area, and yeah I'm going to have to agree with that. But here's another thing, that still doesn't change the absolute feeling of shittiness that accompanies it most of the time, so let's address that.

Happy Fathers Day. I bet this isn't something that's gonna ring loud in a lot of households on June 20, 2021. Why? Because most people won't even realize it's Fathers Day and this, is just sad. Fathers are a very controversial bunch, to be honest, but one other thing they are is a sacrificial bunch. Fathers are not unneeded, Fathers are ESSENTIAL to parenting, and I just wished they're as appreciated as Mothers.

In a world riddled with identity politics and community-centric ideas, more people are looking to be identified outside the groups we find ourselves in. To be identified as ourselves first, before any attachments.

Nowadays, an ordinary life is akin to a cosmic sin. The demand for greatness on everyone is tasking, and even small gestures of goodness are deemed to be not enough; you need to do MORE.
