Navigating Love in a Changing World

September 19, 2023 eddaz 8 Comments

Romantic relationships have undergone evolution over the centuries, reflecting the shifting dynamics of society, culture, technology, and individual desires. From arranged marriages to modern-day love stories, the journey of romantic relationships has been fascinating.

The Traditional Arrangement: Marriage for Survival

In ancient times, romantic relationships usually focused on practicality and survival. Love was secondary to the economic, social, or political alliances they fostered. They arranged marriages, and individuals had little say in choosing their life partners. Romantic love was a relatively minor consideration.

The Emergence of Romantic Love

The concept of romantic love began to gain prominence during the Middle Ages in Europe, where troubadours and poets celebrated love in their art and literature. The idea of marrying for love gradually took root, emphasizing personal happiness and emotional connection.

The Victorian Era: Love and Social Constraints

During the Victorian era, romantic relationships were distinct because of the strict code of conduct and social norms. Courtship rituals were elaborate, and strict etiquette governed the interactions between individuals. Love was idealized but often constrained by societal expectations.

The 20th Century: Freedom and Independence

The 20th century has witnessed significant changes in romantic relationships. The Women’s Liberation Movement in the 1960s and 1970s challenged traditional gender roles and paved the way for greater gender equality in relationships. The rise of divorce rates and changing family structures reflected a shift toward individual autonomy and personal fulfillment.

The Digital Age: Love in the Digital World

The 21st century has brought about a digital revolution in romantic relationships. Online dating platforms have made it easier for people to connect, breaking down geographical barriers and allowing individuals to find compatible partners based on shared interests and values. Social media has also reshaped how we communicate and express love, often blurring the lines between the virtual and real worlds.

Modern Complexity: Navigating Love Today

Today’s romantic relationships are complex and diverse. The non-traditional ones, such as open relationships and polyamory, have gained acceptance in some circles. Society is becoming more inclusive and accepting of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.

The evolution of romantic relationships reflects our ever-changing understanding of love, individualism, and societal values. While the path of love has shifted dramatically, the enduring human desire for companionship, connection, and love remains.

Love For A Child

November 7, 2018 eddaz 17 Comments

Love given to a child

is the greatest gift in all humanity

from parents – Eddaz

The love from either parent (Mother or Father) to a child is so beautiful; even for a fact it can’t be seen, yet we can feel it. Just the way it is amongst humans is the same with animals. Have you seen the way fowls, birds, and other living creatures protect their young ones when danger surfaces? That’s the way humans protect their children.

It’s unfortunate to see how some parents end up losing the love for a child and I wonder how it has degenerated to that in today’s society… is it frustration, harsh economy, ignorance, the devil or what?

The more you love your children

The more they learn to love others – A. D Williams.

We see many youths out on the streets due to the neglect of parents who care less for the life of this young ones and then they blame it on whatever they can lay their hands on and these children end up becoming a menace to the society. We have to love our offspring regardless of any situation that has engulfed and caught a devious grip on our heart and survival.

The best way to raise positive children

in a negative world

is to have positive parents

who love them unconditionally

and serve as an excellent role model – Unknown

Children become rebellious because the parents did something wrong, no one is perfect but we need to seek prudence in executing our duties in the lives of our youngsters… Love and wisdom is the strong bond that gives all answers in this aspect.

Ephesians 6: 4 says…Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the lord.

Quotes About Poetry And Life

August 9, 2018 eddaz 9 Comments

Poetry is just the evidence of life.

If your life is burning well,

poetry is just the ash – Leonard Cohen

Poetry is the journal of a sea animal

living on land, wanting to fly in the air – Carl Sandburg

My role in society, or any artist or poet’s role,

is to try and express what we all feel.

Not to tell people how to feel.

Not as a preacher, not as a leader,

but as a reflection of us all – John Lennon

I love poetry because it speaks one language, read in different languages to whoever is reading it but all turns out to mean the same thing.

We Only Need Men To Have Children

July 13, 2018 eddaz 2 Comments

I absolutely don’t support this statement nor this action which is becoming rampant in today’s society. Some women have decided to demote themselves by saying all they need men for is to have children. This mind set leading to frivolous actions comes with lots of complications we never envisage. I felt very uncomfortable when a close friend said this to me and had to set her straight.

I’m a woman with needs which doesn’t include stooping low in search of men just to bring innocent children into the world and then zoom off like nothing happened, what would be my explanation to them when they are older.

We need men…point blank…just as men need us but for the right reasons procreation is one of them but not the major reason. Both sexes want to be loved, deserve respect for each other and need someone to lean on through communication.

If dating each other doesn’t work out or the marriage collapsed when least expected, if it’s unrepearable, then try searching for someone else. Despite all actions taken to win a man’s heart in a relationship or gain respect from one’s husband, peradventure it doesn’t work out or isn’t going as we hoped it would, we need to accept where life has taken us to, learn and modify our actions.

Don’t give up on your heart’s desire but do things the right way!!!

Stab Those Rules To Successful Relationships

August 17, 2017 eddaz 8 Comments

I’ve often wondered if there are actually rules to a successful relationship as been told by some relationship experts and so on. What I’m trying to say here is this day to day rules been proposed by them…do they still work?

Has anyone applied some of this rules to their relationships recently and have come out with a successful love affair that has led to lasting relationship or marriag?

However my opinion in retrospect to this rules is that it cannot be 100 percent applied to everyone because a lot of us are wierd especially now that society has gone Gaga….
