Divorce; A Do Or Die

Listening to Brymo's song “Meji Meji,” I ponder many life lessons. I have been a fan of his music because he doesn’t just sing any kind, and his lyrics leave an impactful message.

The meaning of Meji is that we are created in twos, and then we are bound to love each other. So there is love right from the onset, right from the time when Adam and Eve were together, and we are to be in twos.

Now it's left to make a choice of your second soul. Will you choose right or wrong? A good one or a bad one, so it's left for you to pick whichever you think is best for you.

That's just it, he advised that “one should think well before making that decision, he has learnt, fallen, and made mistakes before he could utter those words. Be quick to listen and slow to respond. All because religion doesn’t come to aid, character is not really who people are and might not save us, so in the end, whatever one likes is what we get attracted to”.

If one were to take an example of life from others, then it would be difficult to make our own decisions. You get to see some people in marital relationships then you will wish to be like them. At the same time, when you witness some other people’s relationships, you will think every relationship is a mess.

I have just heard about divorce from a distance, not knowing what it's actually all about, not until I witnessed one that's so close to me. It proves the fact that it's not really religion that defines our personality. There are a lot of green snakes under the green grass umbrella of religion.

I am not saying religious individuals are bad people, it's not that, but what matters is the character you possess. Your character is what will truly define you and your relationship with others.

My cousin was the one who experienced this divorce of a thing, and the worst part of it was how submissive she was to the relationship. She wanted a peaceful coexistence, but it seems the husband had already made up his mind not to respond positively.

I have most times heard about scenarios where females are the ones who request divorce the most on as especially as they have a child, then that will be the bond that connects them. But the reverse happened here. And I was shocked, but I picked another life moral from it.

Divorce is a thing that should come into place when needed. Most times, it's not a good thing one would wish for if we are to consider some other stuff like society, kids, shame, but at the same time, it's the best thing one could give themselves and the unborn generation.

In the end, if you cease to divorce and let go of the toxicity in the relationship, if possible, you encounter something off like dealing with your mental stress and therefore pass away from it, it won't amaze you that the other person will surely live on freely.

Even your kids you are fighting over, will survive, and life will be fine in your absence. So in a nutshell, your life matters most before anyone else. Take a divorce when needed, but don't wish for it.
