Your version, my version, their version or the real version? Is it alright to make the truth "our version" to incite sympathy for ourselves and contempt for the other party? Do we accept something to be truth because we want it to be? What we see, hear and believe is not just made up of the external stimuli we perceive, but a combination of our own mental standards, experiences and interpretations of the raw external stimuli. The eyes see, the ears hear and the skin feels, but all these are sent to the brain for final interpretations.

" Do we accept something to be truth because we want it to be?"

 By the phenomenon of perception and perspective, the mind translates these signals into meaningful thoughts, pictures and sounds based on what information is already available in the mind. For instance, one might see a shadow in the dark and refer to it as a ghost, whilst another person might see the same shadow and refer to it as just that, a shadow. Guys who are familiar with themselves will hear words that might sound insulting from each other and perceive it as a joke, another guy who is not familiar with this group will hear and consider it as offensive.
 A friend might hug you and kiss you on the cheek and you may consider it as a friendly gesture, a romantic interest might do the same and you might consider it a sexual invitation. In all these examples, the external stimuli whether it is sight, sound or feel are the same, but their interpretations are different, even directly opposite, because of experience and set standards. How does this affect TRUTH? Very simple. Our experiences makes us predisposed to certain conclusions and these biases affect what we take as truth or not. A woman with a history of marital abuse will react differently to the sight of an angry man, even in a movie. A girl with a history of infidelity from men in her  relationships will readily accept and believe a story of a failed relationship and automatically blame the guy even before she gets any evidence to that effect. A guy who have had bad experiences with lying women, will readily believe any story that has a woman as the accused. This is what we call PREJUDICE!
 Our truth then becomes what we are familiar with. What makes sense to us and falls more in line with our expectations. This is most destructive in relationships. When people enter into relationships expecting their partners to cheat and hence their mind finds evidence to confirm their expectations. Every act becomes secrecy, every conversation appears suspicious, every show of affection looks flirtatious and every surprise looks dubious. We strangle our budding love partnerships with festering scars of old wounds. We allow our past to bleed into our present and contaminate our future.
 We end up becoming prophets of doom, making our lives a series of self-fulfilling prophecies. As long as we remain unawares of our biases, we continue to assume it has made us more PERSPECTIVE, WISER and able to DISCERN. It is not necessarily so!


" We allow our past to bleed into our present and contaminate our future".


Most of the time, it makes us CYNICAL, PREJUDICIAL and PESSIMISTIC. The solution is to become a lot more OBJECTIVE and allow TRUTH to vindicate itself. Your experiences should teach you that, things are hardly what they appear and hence your truth might be completely far from THE TRUTH. Let us readjust our mental templates before we suffocate our relationships, partnerships and friendships with our biases. THE TRUTH is one, and it always shines forth!]]> http://tinagyei.blogspot.com/feeds/26847799483687419/comments/default 0 Nino Storms UK with Magnificent A Performance http://www.ghanandwom.com/news/nino-storms-uk-with-magnificent-a-performance?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=nino-storms-uk-with-magnificent-a-performance http://www.ghanandwom.com/news/nino-storms-uk-with-magnificent-a-performance?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=nino-storms-uk-with-magnificent-a-performance#comments Thu, 23 May 2013 07:37:16 +0000 Fiifi Adinkra http://www.ghanandwom.com/?p=9181 Nino Nino Storms UK with Magnificent A PerformanceGhanaian Singer Nino, on the 11th of May 2013 pleased his UK fans and listeners with exceptional quality tunes at the launch of the Children in NEED Ghana campaign held in Luton. Nino was in his elements when he gave out his best not only in the queen’s language but in French as well.

His prowess was met with loud cheers and applauds from even the critics’ present. Indeed he and the other artists present including the hosts Odi-Ahenkan Kwame (Peacefm Radio presenter)/Kwaku Frimpong Owusu made the UK Gospel explosion in Luton a memorable one.

Nino backed by Davison Band in the UK is set to explode in Birmingham, London, Milton Kaynes and Manchester before he returns to Ghana.

Nino and the entire team are looking forward to a warm welcome from Ghanaians in London, Birmingham, and Manchester. All thanks goes to Ghana Society UK for once again making Ghanaian talents heard around the World.

Nino is set to perform in Birmingham 18th May and climax it all in London on 2nd June.

London should get ready for Nino: the Icon with D Smile

Popular comedian Ayo Makun, known simply as AY has written an auto-biography titled - AY's Diary: Just Laugh. The book is a revelation of the meteoric rise and secret of a highly creative entrepreneur in the Comedy Industry.



Against the background of AY’s very successful Open Mic Platform that discovered the likes of Seyi Law, Elenu, Akpororo, Mc Shakara, Emeka Smith, Ajebo, Pencil and others, the book will also be giving invaluable clue to younger comedians and all those who are interested in the business of comedy, on the need of having compulsory education as a personal empowerment before launching fully into the business of comedy.



Meanwhile, AY's next show, AY Live will hold in Abuja June 16 (Father's Day)

He had made his decision. No more hiding. No more secrets and lies.

“Hello sweetheart, can I come over?” his silky voice half-begged.

“Who is this?” Sandra queried. “John, is that you? Where are you?”

He hung up quickly. What an ass? He felt like kicking himself over and over again. How could he have been so stupid? His knees almost gave way, weakening his resolve to end his marriage.

He slotted another coin, this time to end the affair.
