Is it That good?

As I explained before, I often have no clue as to what I will write about until I begin typing. However, when I wrote about soul ties, I received an email from a friend regarding a relationship they were “caught up” in. In the email, this young man had typed a letter to a close friend informing her that he had to cut her off and couldn’t any longer afford to talk with her anymore. They had started out being friends and then it developed into being lovers. The amazing thing about this is that this is the same young lady that he told me about a few months prior and at that time, he was trying to end the relationship because he told me that he knew that it was an ungodly soul tie. I couldn’t help but ask myself what happened between then and now? Why was this still a current issue that had yet to be addressed? HE FELL INTO THE TRAP, as most of us do. Which means, he talked himself into believing that if he changed the parameters of the relationship, he could yet keep the attachment that had been made. TRICK! This happens every time. We meet someone and instantly, it becomes an attraction of lust because most of the time all we want is to “hit.” After we hit, for the most part, we know that this has now become a relationship “gone astray” but, we somehow believe that we can make things right! You know what I mean, we say we won’t have sex, but we can just hang out and be friends!!! YEAH RIGHT! WHO YOU THINK YOU FOOLIN’? Been there and done that, got my t-shirt and hat!

We continue to ignore the warning signs that tell us to basically GET THE HELL OUT before something happens, but we are afraid to cut the ties! Why? I’m not answering this just yet…I want you to think about this for a while because so many of us are caught up in these relationships and I’m not surprised at all. I was talking with someone just last week that asked me the question, why do we need playboy when we have BET? In today’s world, nothing is left too the imagination. You can see any and everything you want to see by just turning on the “tube.” You can hear anything you want to hear by just turning on the radio and for the most part, this is all we feed the soul. Day in and day out and then we wonder why we end up in the bed with someone after the first night! I was just talking to a close friend of mine just the other day who fell right back into the situation and it’s real hard because I see how nasty the girl is…I mean, if I can be real with you, she’s a trifling whore! She slept with two of my friends in the same day and it’s real hard for me to respect her…but I can remember when I was out there doing the same thing…so I can’t be too hard!

It’s just that with all the times I’ve had to go to the health department and as many diseases that are out here nowadays, how many times will we continue to play Russian roulette? It angers me when I see the generation coming up behind me with no regard for whatever when it comes to sex. I thought my generation was bad…we ain’t seen nothing yet, but yet we still continue to ignores signs, we continue to act as if nothing is going on and we’re in real serious trouble if we don’t expose this chemical imbalance in our soul. We have men and women who are desperately searching to feel the void in their soul and in so doing; they substitute wholeness for a RIGHT NOW orgasm. But afterwards, I have to ask you, what do you have? Is it worth the nutt? This may not be appropriate for those of you who are churchy, but for those of you who are serious about uncovering the “real deal,” I dare you to take a stab at responding. This can provide as the backdrop of an even greater issue as we continue to journey down the road called LYFE.

It’s sad when you see an entire generation who lacks identity seeking to identify themselves by the number of sexual partners they can attain. It’s sad when you see babies having babies with no concept of who they are and what their purpose is in life. It’s sad when you have people who would rather play Russian roulette by having sex without protection and run the risk of getting pregnant or, even worse, catching something that could lead to their death. I mean, what for? Is it that good? Is it worth being six-feet under?
