The pain of seeping your last drop of whiskey in the glass when you can't find sleep yet. And you are at home😔

A woman who thinks before making a decision and says "My man won't like this" is the type of woman you need by your side.
"Respect?" They will say, men want to be treated like kings
Modern marriage is no longer about building together. Many women want the benefits of marriage, but none of the responsibilities.
They want a wedding, not a marriage.
They want a provider, but they do not want to submit. They want a loyal man, but they want to keep their options open.
And the worst part is, society teaches men that if the marriage fails, it is always the man's fault.
Men are told to "do more," "communicate more," "pay more," and "understand her more."
But nobody tells women to respect, appreciate, and protect the man's peace.
That is why many men fear marriage today, because they fear being punished for trying.

Pride can't let them: for we are at a transition where women can make their own money , therefore the only difference is a dick (in her mind)
Most things women expect from a man require money, effort, and sacrifice. Most things men want from a woman cost absolutely nothing: respect, loyalty, accountability, and peace. Yet somehow, even the free things are too expensive for some women.

Least someone can pope up at the door, show gratitude of welcome. Worst case you have to open for yourself with your luggage
You provide for the whole family, yet when you return home, nobody comes out to help unload the groceries. Your wife and children are waiting to welcome you after you've carried everything inside. It looks small until you imagine turning 60. Money can feed a family, but it can't buy belonging.

The second man to ever walk on the moon came home and ended up selling Cadillacs at a dealership in Beverly Hills.
Buzz Aldrin was 39 when he stepped onto the moon in 1969. About two years later he was sitting in an Air Force doctor's office in San Antonio, telling someone for the first time that he was depressed. By the end of the '70s he'd been through two divorces and a drinking problem that nearly killed him.
If you've ever hit a big goal and felt weirdly flat a week later, you've had a tiny version of what happened to him. And there's a real reason for it.
Back in the '90s a neuroscientist named Wolfram Schultz recorded single dopamine neurons in monkeys while giving them juice. When the juice came out of nowhere, the neurons lit up. Then he started flashing a light right before the juice, and pretty quickly the monkeys figured out what the light meant. The neurons started firing at the light instead. The juice itself, the thing they actually wanted, didn't get a spike anymore. And if the light flashed and no juice showed up, the neurons dropped below normal.
So your brain cashes in on the dream the moment it starts looking real. By the time you actually get there, it already spent the money, and the only thing left that can still surprise you is losing it.
That's the anxiety this guy is talking about, the one about making it and becoming somebody, and every one of us is walking around with that wiring.
Jim Carrey learned this the hard way. He was the first actor Hollywood ever paid $20 million for one movie, and in 2005 he told a reporter he wished everybody could get rich and famous and get everything they ever dreamed of, just so they could see it's not the answer.
Honestly, the oldest version of this video is in the Bible. Ecclesiastes is written as a king in Jerusalem looking back on his life. He built houses, planted vineyards, dug pools and stacked up silver and gold, and then he called all of it hevel. He uses that word 38 times. It means vapor, like your breath on a cold morning that's gone in a second. Most English Bibles just say "vanity."
My favorite part comes in chapter 9. He tells you to eat your bread with joy, and a few verses later he says "whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." The guy who called everything vapor still told you to go all in.
Aldrin got sober in 1978 and spent the decades after that trying to get people to Mars, chasing the next big thing without needing it to make him somebody.

In 2005, I started a lorry transport business specializing in building materials. I had graduated from taxi business.
My three lorries were sold to me by a friend of a friend completely on very little installment based on trust & my good image.
By 2020, I was boasting of about 20 trucks. 17 years later in 2022, I wound the business. No money on the business account and no lorry in the parking space. In case you are new in the business & intend to start one, these are the things that crushed mine.
1. The COVID-19 two-year spell. Building material transportation was allowed to operate. But, I had limited supervision even when I was a police boss that was considered essential worker. I couldn’t tell where the lorries were. Some drivers leased out the vehicles to cement factories & were paid while they lied to me that the vehicles were parked. The stone boulders plus long distances from Karamoja wrecked the lorries. In 2 years, the highest amount I could sell the vehicle was 10m out of a possible 150m.
2. Drivers change tyres & replace them with old ones. Instead of tyres lasting 7 months and more, the 10 tires are changed twice or thrice in a year.
3. Drivers will hire out the vehicle to other unauthorized drivers who don’t care about the safety of the vehicle. They will drive day and night while you get nothing. One time, I woke up & saw a picture of my vehicle “resting”in someone’s home. It had failed to brake & rammed into someone’s home. Fortunately, no one was hurt. I was surprised to be told it was being driven by a third person & had paid for new brakes a week before.
4. You will find your vehicle parked on the road. “What’s the problem you ask”? “Afande it could not break”. After a bit of mechanical check the following day, you’re told that while it was parked, someone came & stole a starter system valued at 5m. What?😳
5. Every trip of sand the driver carries say from Lwera, is full board capacity. Then 1/4, is removed & powered at the drivers’ mound of sand somewhere in the city. Later, he starts carrying his own sand but will tell you he parked the lorry then whole day because he was sick or the vehicle had a fault. All the money made is his.
6. You will be called that NEMA enforcement found your lorry in a swampy area. They need 2m fine or pay a bribe of 500k. This happens to be connivance with your driver. You pay the bribe and they share.
7. Repairs are the most pocket ripping venture. You’re told this and that is faulty. You can’t be driving to garages all the time. Even if you went & bent your knee under the carriage of your lorry, you won’t tell a faulty propeller shaft from a good one. Either the vehicle is not faulty or the cost of spare parts is exaggerated.
7. The taxes. Do I need to say anything about this? You’re assessed money that buys a new truck in domestic taxes. All the time your vehicle was in garage, you should have notified URA. Tell me, which driver does this? So, all the small profit you made, is taken away by the taxman.
8. I swear, it’s like no truck in Uganda is supposed to last a year without terrible accidents. You’re always compensating for killing dogs, goats, destruction of houses, cars, or Petro stations. Hew!
9. The driver declares any money he chooses. No question. He calls for the shots. Not you.
10. If you buy a truck at 200m & it works for a week, it has lost value of 100m if you wish to sell it. Which business is this that makes assets depreciate in a week?
My post is not meant to discourage you, but to give you background information so that you mitigate against these before you venture into this business. Do I talk too much? May be not!
