WOMEN: There is more to Life than just your man!

Wouldn't it be rather boring if all there is to a woman is being with a man? Wouldn't it have been a colossal waste if women were only created for men? Yet, these few days what I have come to realize is rather mind boggling. My findings have rather been disturbing than appealing. In my study of the women in my life, I mean those I consider close to me (including my ex-girlfriend), I suddenly discovered a shocking reality; all of a woman's life seems to revolve around a man or men!

I know you are probably saying "so what's the big deal?" Well, the thing is this; what role is a man in a woman's life? Is he "part" of her life or "the whole" of her life? It would surprise you to know that most ladies or women have the mindset that a man or men are not "part" but rather the "whole" of their life! Believe me; I was equally astonished by this reality. Naturally, they wouldn't admit this plainly as I have just put it, but then their every action and reaction point to this rather troubling reality.

I mean, how else would one qualify this? If two out of every three women consider being with a man or getting married as the number one focus, priority and goal of their life? Here is what I mean. I asked my ex-girl to write out her 5-year goal and here is what it looked like;

- Get admitted into school to study pharmacy
- Get married and pregnant with first child
- Own a duplex of her own
- Get employed in a better company in order to earn more

Out of mere curiosity, I asked her to tell me which one of the goals from the list was more paramount, exciting, inspiring and motivated her the most. Well, I am sure you most have guessed her answer; getting married! Or in her words, "knowing who or the man she's going to end up with." Somehow, I wasn't too surprised knowing how much she loved me and wanted us to be together, hopefully, forever; it was only natural for her to pick that as her main priority for the next five years.

But then, the surprise came when I showed it to another woman, this time, a married woman with three kids. I asked her the same question and got the same answer! While some may say this happened by accident (coincidence) or that it's their nature (providence), I say it's a matter of misplaced priority (nonsense). I don't get it, how can the centre, main agenda, central focus of a woman's life be a man? Pardon me if I a may sound nave, but is being with a man all there is to a woman? Are women created only to end up
