One evening, as I
bounced out of the classroom, rushing down towards the toilet to ease myself. Just
then, I ran into the hands of a young lady, when I sighted her, my heart missed
several beats, all though, she was fair in complexion and tall, this was not
what necessarily drew my attention to her, but one thing. Her naked laps. I thought she must have forgotten to pull on her
skirts, after using the toilet, this is because she was coming towards the
direction of the toilet. I simply thought she had just used the public
convenience and out of impetuosity, forgot to put on her skirts where she left
it, I felt she must not appear to the public the way she is. Sincerely, I
couldn’t help to hold the thought to myself, that when I got to her, I had to stop
her and courteously call her attention to my discovery by asking her to go and
pick her skirts where she left it.
But, to my awkward
surprise, she stared at me embarrassingly, hissed and walked away from me, that
was when I discovered, that what she was putting on was all she had wore from
home. It was a gown that was barely an inch lower than her hips.
The scene was
tongue-tied, how could a lady, in her right senses choose to open the private
axis of her body to the public? What a show of shame? What a display of error?
The evening scenario did not go well with me, it was recurring in my mind, I
was really disturbed, that was why I had to pen down this message.
One of the beliefs of
the society about woman is that a woman is a seductive tool, no wonder women
are used to gain, hold and sustain attention, women are portrayed as devilish
in some societal worldview. However, even if the world or society says you are
seductive, or take you to be a seductive tool, Are you really?
Dear
Young Woman! The problem of the world today is an error of identity, do you really know
who you are? What do you know about yourself? Do you really know who you are? I
want to tell you that you are not a sexual tool as the society sees you, you
are not a sex object as most people wants to use you to achieve. You are an
image of God, a tool to make an incomplete man complete, to perfect an
imperfect man, to be a mother to generations, a role model for young innocent
generation of girls.
Therefore, for you to
make right the wrong notion of the society about you, you need to add some inches to your skirt, add some
inches to your gown, go extra mile to get yourself a new identity,
different from what the society believes you are, do not live to satisfy the
society which you belong to, do not live to satisfy the creations, but live to
satisfy the creator, but, live to satisfy your God, your maker, who owns you.
Dear young lady, please,
add some inches to your outfit.
