    @stbrians MESHACK BWOYELE KEYA wrote a new post, Who Is Superior Between Men And Women? 8 years ago

    Preamble
    What a question? How does the case of superiority arise here? That is the idea that is probably springing into your mind. I know you have the answer too. Most men will say that men are superior. They […]

    • Funny post though. But in my opinion I think the men are more superior in most aspect and women are superior in few aspect.
      In most aspect in the sense that from creation man has been made the superior by God.
      Being superior simply means being at higher authority and when you look at today’s world, men are taking lead.
      In some continents like Africa and Asia where women have limited right to authorities, political power and other public things. Men are also superior in the sense that they are the reason why the world grows in population via reproduction though women play also a role in reproduction but they never can do it without the men unless she’s the next Virgin Mary. Among the number of scientists in the world at large, the men take lead.
      If there are ten scientists, 9 are men and 1 is a lady. Therefore the scientific growth of the world we are in today is being made possible by men. This justifies their superiority over women.
      Let’s come over to family issues, the men in most part of the world contribute immensely to their families, they provide food, pay children’s school fees and bear the consequences of the children’s misdeeds. This justifies their superiority also.
      There shouldn’t be an argument over these because it is crystal clear that men are far more superior than ladies.
      No debate should be involved.

      • Being superior in some aspects is what I AGREE. When it comes to who is more superior is what I do not agree. Each has a certain key. The safe needs both keys to open. Men would like to look upon women and yet there are many women who look down on women.

        The story will go round and round till we get tired and keep quiet. It goes without say that the two must complement each other. That is why I might not support gay marriage. One key misses and what they have for each other is burning passion.

    • First correction in the bible the word MAN does not imply MEN it means men and women as a whole, people should not get that wrong for those who may think otherwise. Then I like the way you have explained about the woman I do wish all men would think like you, but minds vary. It is true that women do most of th3 things in this world. They give birth, they take care of the child, they run the house, and so many other things. But we cannot say that they are superior to the guys or the guys are superior, even though it’s said that the man is the head of the house that does not make home superior either in the bible we are all equal in the eyes of God.he alone is superior and above everyone and everything.@ezenwa if I can just say something about your comment, in Africa men behave like that are superior but the truth is when they do things all they think about is themselves that are very egoistic and that are greedy. A man would never want a woman to look better than him so he would rather do things to put her down so that she feels frustrated, or they will discourage her in all ways so that she feels she cannot do certain things. And all this is brought about by the man feeling threatened by the ladies. And sometimes greed will make a man do things and earn material stuff for him to feel superior so we cannot say that the superiority comes from within, it comes from what they have.

      • Anitah you are right there. What ails me most is the competition for superiority between the two. One would like to be superior than the other. How wrong this is. We end up having broken marriages and relationship. If only each of the two would learn to respect each other then life will be smooth.

        I tend to believe that gays are just a way that one wants to run and escape from the other. When all the drunkenness will abet is when sobriety will return. We shall enjoy being in the arms of the other

    • My friend , none is superior between man and women. Woman is a positive force and man is negative force, along with it I tell you woman means, positive and man means negative. Now think one negative the other positive now tell who is superior, man or woman. Actually in case of man and woman man and woman both the essential parts of each other. When such be the case no one becomes superior both are part and parcel of each other. The Bible story of Adam and Eve is misunderstood there is not a single line in the all the holy books woman is superior or man superior. Woman is more superior due to having the power of creation all human being spring from the womb of woman,

      I conclude that no one is superior but both are part and parcel of each other. We may compare man with woman as we compare gold with silver.

      • A man happens to have @ certain key of life and a woman too. When both keys turn in the lock, the doors of life opens. The fact that a woman cries on the shoulder of a man and wants to be held is not a sign of weakness.

        Most men also look like big babies infront of ladies. They beg, kneel and cry before them. They are not weak either. The two have to behave so to blend.

        I love this topic

    • Itre replied 8 years ago

      In my opinion this topic/question is outdated for men and women are equal. And both men and women can shine it doesn’t depend our your gender, but on the individuel. I’m not ashamed to admit that there are women that can do something (stereotype considered manly) beter than me. Like there are probably women that can kick my behind.

      • Do you know there is no outdated topic.? What you think and how I think are two things which are world apart. This topic is as fresh as fresh milk directly from the cow. Supremacy between men and women has raged on from time immemorial It is still there.

        Worse still women have penetrated and started doing the once men-dominated jobs. We need this topic now and today. It is true that we have an equal standing, but in whose eyes? Is it God, men or women?

        • Itre replied 8 years ago

          Okay i admit that this kind of topic is hard to get outdated (was a matter of speech/expression) since this kind of topic keeps circling around. it was purely out of my point of view and maybe western society (like 30%). And i don’t like getting god involved in this kind of thing considering this a human conflict. Yes i do believe in the almighty, just not a fan of holy books since they were written by humans to manipulate other humans.

    • Men and women are equal in my opinion. Yes there are certain things men can’t do that women can do and there are also things that women can’t do that men do but that doesn’t mean men and women are not equal. Everyone is good at different things that how life is but putting a gender above another is not how today’s society work. Yes the Bible says the man is the head of the household but today there are women that are the head of their house hold and that doesn’t make neither more superior than the other.

      • You agree and I am grateful. But do you agree from your heart or lips? Do you treat your better half as an equal or just like another person? Some things are better said than done.

        There are things that women do better and others that men do better yet men still want to have dominion over the women. The women also have cried for women rights that now men are becoming the endangered species. All things should be done with respect. I think there is no equality between them but a balance of nature

    • It is obnoxious to take up a discussion on this topic in these modern days. This is meant for oldies who can take up such topic for a discussion.

      This is not relevant to drag the inferences from Bible making it unchaste.

      One thing is accepted that because Man was created first by the God does not mean that he is superior. It gives him only seniority. The woman was created latter means she is a junior. Their potentials and efficiencies in carrying out things may be different. It is for this reason that in every religion it will be observed that a wife should be younger than a husband. This has got both scientific and psychological validity also.

      One more point for observation is that all religions have got both male deities and female deities. They are all worshiped. Is there any religion which has got and dominated by only male Gods?

      We should also see that this gender discrimination is not existing among the Gods even.

      The male God, if worshiped by a female will definitely please and bless her. Similarly, a female deity if worshiped by a male will bless him and fulfill all his desires.

      Thus both are equally affectionate and bless their children with impartiality.

      • I love it when you say it is an outdated post. Nothing in this world is outdated. The mind is just a mind . There are some fashions that were used in the past that are trending today. Topics also do. In fact it is today that this topic is live.

        Thank you for enlightening about the deities. They are what we call as gods. Yet there is a God who reigns supremacy in the world. He is, was and will be.

        Back to the topic. You will see from the arguments that I agree that each is superior and inferior in a way. I sum up by saying that they are not equals either. They should learn to respect and love one another. That is my argument.

    • I have also read that a heavy typhoon appeared and too much devastation made the typhoon as a result many a couples of persons died and injured but what can anyone do against it because it is a natural catastrophe. The GOVT must take protective measures against it to save human lives. People are facing many types of problems I think God will help the victims surely.

    • There was a large number of human lives. Many have become homeless and some stayed away from their houses even for days. The effect was felt more in Haiti and about 80,000 have lost their lives.

      Though the intensity was there equally in Ilocos Sur and other parts there was only damage to the houses and property but not human lives. This time the Government has taken effective alert management system and evacuated many from the dangerous area well in advance.

    SuperD wrote a new post, Keeping The Faith During Time Of Calamity 8 years ago

    Keeping The Faith

    If there is one good thing that the super typhoon Haima brought to me—and other fellow non-prayerful men and women—it’s the faith. My belief that I am just human and means nothing in this […]

    • Yes, faith plays an important role in human life but love, hope and faith all these are the children of human soul. And all the miracles on earth are the wonders of faith. Your article is beautiful and informative.

    • I totally agree that it is the faith which gives the power. This is the ultimate truth not confined to only one religion but almost all religions of the world.One need not have a religion but if he got faith he can drive himself safely out of the trouble. This is what one should know about the basic principle laying behind every religion.

    • This is a very heart felt post.Our level of faith and spirituality goes up and down. Sometimes when we are safe and comfortable, we forget our faith. When we are sick, in danger or facing some problem, we call out to God to help us and it is true that in trials we are closer to God.

    • When someone thinks it will be so in modern term is called faith. But we must know the real root of is trust if God and fear of God. Man is a wonderful thing, he hopes to be good keeping in mind God’s mercilessness but what God says we do not act upon it what a beautiful thinking of earthly men.

      Give me your ear and understand this example; if someone comes to see you at home and you say sit for a while the tea is coming but the order was not given to make tea, if you faith the will come it will not come because you have fulfilled the law of order. Keep milk, water and tea mixing a pot and when sit for a while tea is coming it will come because you completed the law of God It is faith cos you have completed the law of God to make tea.

      we do not fulfilled the law of God and have faith is useless theoretically and practically. If we are thankful to God catastrophes will not come upon human being of any type. All types of natural evils are the sign of warning for human being to be thankful to God otherwise an other evil is ready for you.

      But earthly men do not understand it and consider it natural calamities and destruction occurring according to the laws of nature. But it is not so as we think in real life. Read the whole holy books all types of natural catastrophes are warnings for men to avoid bad deeds against human beings and God’

      Natural calamities are the punishment of God for men but men do not understand it knowingly. We must be thankful to God 24 hours because God’s blessings are more on man.

    With the wind of 220 kilometer per hour speed and gustiness of 300 kph, supertyphoon Lawin (Haima) was one of the strongest typhoon our province have experienced. It’s been a long time a warning storm signal n […]

    • You are lucky that your place was spared from the wrath of Lawin. You said that there was no casualty in your place. But in other place, it was reported that there were 8 dead and 2 were missing. This is the second super typhoon that hit the Philippines. The first one was in 2013 at the province of Tacloban. It was typhoon Yolanda. There were many casualties had been reported. They even reached to 10,000. Tacloban was badly hit or totally devastated by typhoon Yolanda.

      The people there mourned for several days or even months. That incident was highly politicized. It became the issue on the latest Presidential elections. It became the source of all forms of anomalies, graft and corruption. That brought the non winning of Presidential aspirant Mar Roxas because of the issue of non delivery of the welfare goods to the victims of the typhoon. it’s indeed the worst governance whatsoever.

    • Typhoons are natural disasters may appear in any country with the decree of God but lucky are those remained safe in this typhoon destruction someone said that only eight peoples died and were saved by the stroke of luck. May Allah preserve all the peoples the victims of the horrible typhoon.

    • I have oftenly wondered how those typhoons get their names. Maybe you can share on that so that we know how they come about. Typhoon Mario, halima you know it may sound funny to us but we don’t laught at the situation just the names amaze me. Anyway first and foremost i feel really sad when I watch on television to see how these typhoons wreck havoc and leave people homeless and poor. Starting off all over again is usually th3 hardest thing that anyone would have to go through. The first time I saw it on tv it was when it swept through Florida I think I can’t even remember the name, it was very popular and I saw how it swept over buildings, cars, brideges and stuff it looked like a horror movie to me. You know this are things we watch only on tv sometimes and it is a devastaing time for The residents. In our country they are just normal floods not typhoons. Anyway it’s a good thing that no deaths were reported and that people came out safe.

    • Typhoons are quite natural in the Philippines. The people adjusted themselves to the adverse circumstances and other natural calamities. The frequent typhoons in the regions have taught a lot of lessons to the Filipinos.

      The last typhoon has made them how to equip themselves to the natural disaster. The Disaster Management and Warning signal system have contributed a lot in the timely evacuation of the people from the typhoon-affected areas. The people were informed well in advance. Necessary food and water supply arrangements have already been taken up on war footing basis.

      The previous presidents though responded effectively there was a loss of human lives in the previous typhoon. The people were made to stay above the trees for days together. The food supply system was not alerted. The rescue operations were not taken up in time. Everything was politicized and the opposition tried to make use of the situation to the maximum benefit of winning the elections.

      The president is different now. The people are feeling the responsibility now. They are no more irresponsible and inactive. Everything is taking up as per planning with devotion and dedication.

    • Typhoons are very dangerous.May Allah save us all from these disasters.I red about this in Newspaper and watched on you tube i can feel how hard it will be for the people over there.We experienced Earthquake in Pakistan in 2005.It was a big deserter all the houses were damaged in our area and almost every house there were at least single death were reported.It relly was a hard time.The time was morning 8.00am when it happen mostly people are sleeping on that time that is way many people were died who were still on bed.They didnt know that they will never wakeup again.

    • Yes, there are many medicines that give relief from depression as you have said actually depression is nothing but prethinking will and wishes produce depression human soul not in mind because first depression spreads in soul after this its demonstration becomes on human mind.

      Researchers have learned much about the biology of depression. They’ve identified genes that make individuals more vulnerable to low moods and influence how an individual responds to drug therapy. One day, these discoveries should lead to better, more individualized treatment but that is likely to be years away.

      And while researchers know more now than ever before about how the brain regulates mood, their understanding of the biology of depression is far from complete.

      Nerve cell connections, nerve cell growth, and the functioning of nerve circuits have a major impact on depression. Still, their understanding of the neurological underpinnings of mood is incomplete.

      If depression were primarily the result of low levels of neurotransmitters, people don’t feel better as soon as levels of neurotransmitters increase.

You know many times parents may assume that kids don’t see or realize the things or sacrifices they make to see their kids through life. Sometimes the little things that they do are seen and the kids keep it to themselves until a time when they will need to express their feelings come up then they narrate all the things that their parents have done for them, and this comes as a surprise to the parents because they never thought that their child have captured some things.
