It Should Be Your Choice II. Contributed by @Olawalium
...continued...
This is what happens when you listen to other voices when you have a strong conviction in your heart in the first place. She found herself in a really dark place and it hurt to see her that way. She turned violent and even lost in court because there was no case against this guy.
She sued for more money but she couldn't get any because the deal for the guy came only after they divorced. The judge even credited the man as being generous since he doesn’t need to do what he did even after divorce. She eventually lost her life while she was trying to kill her ex-husband and his new wife on their private boat. She injured the man by shooting him and while trying to axe him, she lost her life by drowning.
Deep inside her heart she didn’t want to let go but with pressure and desire not to disappoint her sisters anymore, she caved in. When the man hit it big and they heard what the ex-husband did, with the amount he gave and the house he got back, their opinion changed about him and those who advised her against him started saying, Men! I knew that dude was smart. Wow! You believed in him and it worked but it was too late.
Often times we follow opinion polls even when the voice inside our heart and head is screaming so loud. The external voices downed our internal screams so loud we lose focus. Always follow your heart, if it still leads you wrong, at least you can know it was all you and not anyone else.
We need to study our internal voices more often so we can know when to listen and when to ignore. The truth is, sometimes we know what we need to do, we only try to look for others to validate it or change our minds so we can hold another person responsible for a change, rather than ourselves.
There is absolutely nothing wrong in taking advice, but when you think it through, let it be what you really wanted rather than what another person wanted. You are not in this world to do anyone’s bidding. Be responsible for your life and your choices.
Don’t let anyone take away from you the power of your choice. You don’t need to impress anyone. If it doesn’t feel good with you, just let it go. Do what gives you a clear conscience to sleep at night when no one else is watching. It should be your choice and no one has the right to influence it unless you allow them. Know thyself!
Thank you for your time.

We are imperfect beings, and we must be aware of leaving things when something does not work.
The present society is so cruel because today the young man's love for the love of youth is married to the second marriage, but later they have been divorced without due to various dangers.If the divorce takes place in the family, then if they divorced then they first married Mahbubat in the love of young people. Why I am here to love that they love to marry but they also get divorced, and they also face the society with cruelty.

Let me start by saying this, can beggars really be a chooser. I don't want you to see it from the angle of me being a pessimistic, sometimes, we don't have power over ourselves most especially when you are still under someone taken orders, our choices could be compromised for the fact that we want to please someone we don't have options but to answer. Though, our choice shouldn't be all the time compromised just because of what we want or what we want to eat. The best is like you have said
We often allow this because of our situations.
I really understand your point and you are right, but our choice is our power. It is what gives us a level of control over situations and humans like being in control.
Good to have you here brother. How have you been?
Hugh!!! So sad to hear that she lost her life. That's the point..
Her sister who is advising her is living her life now with her husband. She is no where to be found. She tabled a divorce letter when deeply in her heart, she still wants to be with him. So why listened to others, why would we let others opinions affect our own lives.
Everybody can say what they like, you should know what you want for your self. Nobody is going to live your life for you. Everyone has his or her own life to live.
People tend to say their opinion on whatever situation you found yourself, they can give you advice, but you should be the one decide the best for your life.
Thanks @communitycoin and @olawalium
It was a very sad story. She made lot of bad decisions in the past and she listened to them, i think, so she can at least listen to them for once. It was tragic and i wish she didn't have to die.
We should always stick to our convictions even if we get burned from it. It should be our choice. Others can advice but we should decide.
Thanks for always being consistent brother and for your views. Always appreciated.
She makes an attempt to kill that guy and his new wife because she started feeling like "we built this together " we started it together " she feels like the other girl take advantage of him and took everything away from her. But she caused everything in the first place. Yoruba adage will say "ti ogiri ko ba lanu alangba o le raye wobe " so if she didn't leave him as she did, the other girl won't have that chance.
But she feels like destroying everything and wanted to kill both of them but ending up killing herself. That's so pathetic.. Good lesson to be learned there.
Yes, she lost it at the end. She lost everything and couldn't even enjoy the money she was given. She was hard done by and she reacted wrongly.
Thanks a lot as always. I always enjoy reading from you.
Abi, even if she peacefully ask for more money, I know he will give her. Instead of her creating problems and all that. Well her sister will be enjoying the money anyway...... Lol
