In this world there have been a lot of changes. If someone had said 100 years ago that things would be the way we see it today, people back then would have looked upon the person as someone who is sick in the head or even a witch. Come to think of it, there was a time when there was nothing like aircraft, in fact many people couldn't even imagine the possibility of even having a big object such as an airplane to fly so high as to not think of having someone on the inside. In the year 1700 there was nothing like that until the year 1799 when Sir George Charley first presented his design of a fixed wing aircraft. Our world is fast evolving, do you remember there was a time when the richest people rode on horses and later it became bicycles. Could you imagine the joy of the first man who was able to afford the first motorcycle in the world? And there were then old fashioned vehicles. Today where are we? vehicles have evolved so much to the extent we have super cars that can never catch a fighter jet at near take off.

Our world has so much evolved, the way things have changed in the area of technology is the same way we humans have evolved. There was a time when women had their place in the kitchen. Some were left at home from day to day only to take care of the children. A lot of things women have to go through until finally there comes a change.
There was really a time when women didn't enjoy equal rights with men although even in some parts of the world today it's still the same case but not to be compared to the experience back then.
You don't Know Me by Lesley Gore is one good song that I've played and listened to more than a thousand times. Listening to her sing is like listening to someone spitting fire.

The resounding boldness that comes with her voice is worth taking note of and in fact it was just a song to some people. It actually helped a lot of women who were being oppressed take courage and marched the streets in protest. History has been made with many beautiful songs like that of Lesley Gore’s “You don't own me”. Women pass through a lot though men suffer difficulties in their own ways but in fact both male and female needed to share this mutual understanding and respect for each other to maintain balance.
I've had the opportunity to come to a street where I see some boys spank helpless ladies on the ass and the lady though they hated it will only look behind to fake a smile. Imagine if those boys were put in the ladies shoes, what if the table is turned.

Imagine seeing a boy walking by and a group of girls who were just standing by on the walk way observe the boy closely and just as the boy was about walking to the center of the group he received a resounding slap on his buttocks and he helplessly looked behind not seeing who slapped him and shyly walk across because he is outnumbered. In this world there have been mistakes which we humans have created on our own because I believe God made everything perfect but men find it difficult to exist on their own without errors.
So many mistakes have been made, there have been so many errors and these errors somehow brought about an awakening. Many times humans have gone out to wage war against each other, more often there have been revolutions and many more times, humans have gone out protesting all to have a society that can accommodate all.

In all our desires as humans, most of us have failed to acknowledge what is right and what is wrong, that is why in most cases we put all our energy pushed through for the wrong things that seem right before our eyes. Take for instance armed robbers. If you've had a friend who has been on the streets or grew up on the streets. You'll find out that the street has a different rule that it operates on and why you consider good is not allowed in street life and somethings you see as evil looks good to the people of the street but the never men keep pushing whether in the good direction or in the bad direction most people don't care as long as they hope to achieve what their heart longs for in the end. Nowadays most ladies are into hookup and some live a life of online streaming and every minute of the day a leaked picture or video of somebody's wife and somebody's mother will either trend on social media or be dumped on porn sites.


Song lyricshttps://genius.com/Lesley-gore-you-dont-own-me-lyrics

The level of cheating in relationships and marriages these days has so much increased to such a level that has never been seen and many hearts have been shattered multiple times. What is the cure to human insatiable want? I think it is time to calm down and think about the true meaning of life and the purpose of our existence on earth. I also think it's time to know God's plan for us.

Thanks for reading my post.
