If only the world is run by women…

No, it is not a biased view because I am a woman, but because by virtue we are more empathetic, considerate, peaceful, and it does seem that we have more commonsense right now. Hear me out and after, you can argue with your keyboard.

I am tired of waking up each morning to one ugly news or bombing and goodness knows what; all perpetrated by narcissistic men with inflated egos, trying to show whose balls are bigger – meanwhile, some balls are shriveled, and some are non-existent.

I went to sleep with heavy concern about the bombing in Doha, after having to leave the mall where I was running some errands a little earlier than expected as the air was tense with whispers and they closed earlier than usual. It’s not so easy to cozy up under your duvet when trouble seems to be brewing all around the world and you are left wondering where all these shenanigans would lead.

Now back to my main thoughts, if women ruled the world there wouldn’t be any wars except maybe cold, silent wars with blocking each other here and there. We would have countries jealous of each other and trying to outdo themselves in the contest of ‘my country is the most beautiful country in the world.’

As women in leadership, we won’t start any needless skirmish that would require sending our sons to fight in another man’s land – maybe our exes if need be 😉

Our offspring will have no need to migrate to another woman’s home because we will do our darned best to see that they are fed and cared for in our beautiful country so that they won’t have to go to live in our jealous neighbour’s country to disgrace us.

We will definitely have disagreements that result into juicy gossips, long silences, countries unfollowing each other, blocking on all social media platforms, international shading and side-eyes, fighting through coded photos on Instagram, WhatsApp groups, Twitter, text messages et al.

If women ran the helm of affairs, we would be so focused on working hard at creating beautiful, clean and stylish cities, improving our health systems, educational systems, public infrastructures, homes for all, and raising decent men and women… so much so that the world would generally progress even if a lot of the progress is as a result of envy and jealousy borne out of the zeal to outdo each other.

If women ruled the world… a fantasy that might seem so far-fetched right now, but who knows what the future holds. At present, Finland is a case in point and whilst destructive missiles are floating over our heads in destructive mode, let me make my thoughts happy with my imaginations.

Though this is written in humour, deep inside I do know that the world would be way safer and happier with women running it.

Over to you.

A View From The Window

I am still trying to figure out what the quality of this photo is that just makes me absolutely love it.

I looked out of the window one evening and there they were; two ladies standing so close together, no other person or vehicles are in sight which is a rarity in this place. I quickly rushed to get my camera for some reason that I still struggle to identify. For one it speaks  ‘support’ to me.

What do you see when you look at this photo?
