CONVICTIONS ARE MORE DANGEROUS ENEMIES OF TRUTH THAN LIES - F. NIETZSCHE

CONVICTIONS ARE MORE DANGEROUS ENEMIES OF TRUTH THAN LIES - F. NIETZSCHE -

Last night, in the comfort of my bed and my pajamas, I noticed Instagram placed a paid promotion coming straight from @blackmarriagemovement on my timeline. The post was sharing Nicole Ari Parker "prayers" during her search for the perfect man, now husband Boris Kodjoe (like God is really the person in charge of certain matters!). Between the lines written by someone sounding like a 15 year old in the middle of an emoji attack, we can read the following: loving, warm, WANTS to be a husband and father, fine, WANTS to provide, mentally, physically and spiritually strong, AFFECTIONATE, curious about the world, likes to travel, likes music, likes history, likes art, likes the theater, big hands, big feet, sexy, really smart, funny, fun, got jokes, makes the highest and best choices for himself, has that "no-matter-what-I-got-this" spirit cause ish is gonna happen, respects his mother, forgives his father, loves himself and knows God (wow, that's all!? I may ask). In exchange she promises to go to therapy, workout a bit, go to church, make a green juice and cover her body in lotion daily. It looks like there's a little fucking difference between what she desires and what she's offering the other person; but this is not the reason why I'm typing this blog entry. Among the comments I found some from women supporting the couple inciting humanity to get down on our knees and pray the Lord waiting for the "marriage miracle" to happen, while others point out how a successful relationship requires maturity and willingness, something that goes beyond religious faith. Danai, the IG account and content creator, a self declared relationship coach, invites the ladies to keep on writing their list of attributes they seek in the perfect man (sort of the list kids write to Santa Klaus), reading a little bit of Bible passages and purchasing her complete course available online. At that point, my atheist being feels the rush to ask Mrs Danai the reason behind this silly marketing strategy that almost mocks the ladies already lost in spirituality, and uses the religion topic to generate revenues. Mrs Danai acts like she doesn't comprehend my statement, and basically tells me to mind my fucking business because she's a multitalented coach in guiding the "sheep lost on the road to Damascus" and taking them to their perfect match. She also politely tells me that I am free to conduct a life with no God, lost in the cosmic chaos and wishes me a good life. She ends telling me not to go to her page anymore because nobody asked for my opinion. I then decide to remind Mrs Danai that paying for a Instagram campaign to promote a post will make the said post appear on anybody's feed, right in front of the eyes of people like me who don't give a fuck about her delusion but still have the right of reading and commenting on a public page that gives free access to everybody. I also add that a "real" relationship coach should be aware that being devoted to God and being psychologically mature and open for another person are two deeply different things. I also remind her that it's not nice to deceive single women telling them that no human being deserves love but that, eventually, God will gift them with a partner. I continue saying that her "biased truths" psychology makes her look only for the answers to the only truth she wants to believe in, making her and people believing her bs feel like that's the only plausible reality when it really isn't. I conclude by informing her that it is a little petty to mask behind a "profession" made up by our modern society (I've seen thousands of life coach, love coach and my ass coach profiles already) that is based on no scientific method but simply on personal beliefs and speculations. Here's a taste of new generation trash. Don't listen to what celebrities have to say about their personal love life; we, ourselves, are the only ones able to decide about our personal choices preparing for the right person with the right attitude and maturity. Insecurity and immaturity are, on the other hand, easily leading toward pain and abuse. To those who haven't already, WAKE UP! Thank you so much for reading, Martina.
