WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS CONCERNING PDA (PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION) ARE YOU FOR IT OR AGAINST IT?


I listened to a programme on radio last night and their topic for discussion was PDA (Pubic Display of Affection). They asked people to share their opinion concerning it; whether they are for it or against it. Different responses came in and majority of the response seem to be in favour of PDA no matter how extreme it might be. But one response actually caught my attention and my nod of agreement. The person was like, PDA differs. It is good but when it is taken to the extreme, it can be very annoying and disgusting. When asked which she preferred, she said, holding hands and a simple hug will do for her but when it goes beyond that, she wouldn’t tolerate it.  You know, in as much as I really don’t fancy PDA, I think I quite agree with that response. I mean I prefer it to the other responses that were coming in. But I will really like to share my own views concerning PDA.

 Now for some of you that really don’t have an idea of what PDA really means, PDA the short form for ‘Public Display of Affection’ is a way by which two people display their love and affection for each other in public. It can sometimes be intentional and sometimes it just happens out of craziness and lust for each other. It can vary from holding hands, hugging, kissing on the forehead, and some even take it to the extreme of deep, tight and prolong kissing and hugging in public. And the most saddening thing is that PDA is usually carried out by two unmarried people. Hardly will you see two married people purposely displaying their affection to each other in public. The least they can do is hold their hands.

As a person, Christianity aside, I don’t fancy PDA because I don’t see a reason why I should flaunt my affection in public especially with someone I’m yet to be married to. I mean it’s just nonsense to me. Even holding hands is not even my style. I mean, I’m not just cut in for it. So coupled with the fact that I’m a Christian, and showcasing the likeness of Christ in everything I do, PDA is just out of the picture. I mean, PDA is not even allowed in Christian courtship. So to me, PDA is not even in my dictionary. The only form of PDA I might consider, and only with my husband in the context of marriage, is holding hands together and that is even if he likes it.  

Well that is just but my own honest view. Feel free to share yours. What is PDA to you?? Are you for it or against it?

INSPIRING STORY: LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR TEMPER

Once upon a time there was a little boy who was talented, creative, handsome, and extremely bright. A natural leader. The kind of person everyone would normally have wanted on their team or project. But he was also self-centered and had a very bad temper. When he got angry, he usually said, and often did, some very hurtful things. In fact, he seemed to have little regard for those around him, even friends. So, naturally, he had few. “But,” he told himself, “That just shows how stupid most people are!”  As he grew, his parents became concerned about this personality flaw, and pondered long and hard about what they should do. Finally, the father had an idea. And he struck a bargain with his son. He gave him a bag of nails, and a BIG hammer. “Whenever you lose your temper,” he told the boy, “I want you to really let it out. Just take a nail and drive it into the oak boards of that old fence out back. Hit that nail as hard as you can!” Of course, those weathered oak boards in th...

2016 Review: Ayomide Oguntunde, 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far..

LESSON AND BLESSING THIS YEAR SO FAR....... The year 2016 has been a year full of great blessings and greater lessons. Here, i will start with the lessons, and the first is not to trust in man But God only. Uhmmmm, there are times in our dear life that we put our hope in man not that we don't believe in what God can do But really cant say what happen not until it dawn on us that our only hope should be in God because He's the master planner of everything.      Secondly, i learnt that friendship have categories and you don't get Love in return from all friends (Smile). Its not that they hate you But have some other people on top of there friendship list, they might not be better than you do, But i got to know that no matter how you try, you cannot just force Love. Also, i got to understand the pain inner tears causes and the solution of crying the pains out to have an inner joy though not easy But one will just continue to hurt the mind. I will also like to talk ...
