Celebrity you’re 2nd

Let’s Blame 3 People for the Heart-Break Café (II) 

   By Moffat Machingura

Dear Celebrity. The day you made a big Cinema thriller, you appeared in every magazine and TV station – you did not mind the pictures. But the day you divorced, you crept behind your dark sunglasses and screamed “privacy.” (Like George Clooney after he divorced Isabella, 2011)  Above that you gave an awkward excuse, “it was not meant to be.” Mr. and Miss. Celebrity what do you mean “privacy”?

You shared your success keys, claiming you wanted to inspire the world into greatness. But today we can see you were simply being pompous. If it was for our greatness that you did not mind appearing in People, Hello and Newsweek in your success days, then today you still would not mind sharing with us how you failed in the most basic institute of life – love institute. Why did you work hard to make it in money and fame, but was so lazy to take love seriously? You thought it was a game and you made yourself a major player? Where you so foolish to realize we live once, play is for kids and you have got only one heart?

Friends, our famous fellow citizens owe us an explanation. They must stop screaming privacy or sounding pompous. They are busy hiding their weaknesses behind human rights. They are responsible for why Mom and Daddy always quarreled, why the one who takes away your virginity never marries you and if marriage happens, it will not be for long. It is these celebrities who make love a game, (marrying today but divorcing tomorrow) and make this a wild world, just by harboring their own weaknesses.

Dear Celebrity, you are not going to get away with this. A time will come, and now is that time, that for every heartbreak you cause and every divorce or domestic violence you incite, you will pay. You will pay to your partner and the state. Or you will have to stand up and tell the world the truth, tell them you are just a non-loving, self-centered creature in the limelight.

Friends, how many of you have ever been into a church and saw the podium from which pastors preach? Christians have a tendency of banning misconduct preachers off the podium. (They call it cleansing.)
Personally I think the time has come for this wide world to do the same if it is to demolish this Heartbreak Café forever. Let’s cleanse unworthy egoistic celebrities off our life pages. They are using us, playing and betraying us. We must show them who... But I love You Celebrity!!!

Grandma You Are 1st

Let’s Blame 3 People for the Heart-Break Café (I)

 by Moffat Machingura

With all due respect, Granny – your Cinderella bedtime story was not all true. You said she was a poor neglected girl who met a Prince Charming at a ballroom dance. You said they lived happily ever after.

 Yet Granny, you never said it that Princes are few in this world, and that Cinderellas are many.  Many Cinderrelas are waiting, but will they ever find? Grandma, tell the truth!

You never explained Prince Charming is a womanizer. He is a type of man who is always busy looking charming to all women around him. Though He be mine, he won’t be mine alone. If I find him, is it love or just another heartbreak café?

 And what if there is no fairy god-mother anywhere? (As it is) So the really pretty and descent women in town hardly make it to the ballroom. Is it not that the pretty manicured ladies (vice-full beauty fanatics as you called them) are busy looking good right now, just to take my Prince Charming away?

Finally Grandma, you said they lived happily ever after. But on my wedding morning, you said “happily ever after, is only found in fairy tales.” You said for love to work and last, we have to work hard and be patient. That is true, I learnt it in love that real love demands effort. But Granny, why did you not say so from the beginning? My best friend, Anna, walked out a few months back. She said it was not meant to be, she was not happy and she was tired of it. One more thing, she said it is not what she dreamt. The love she found is not the love she vowed for in her wedding gown.

Grandma, I know you are wise. I know you spoke of love so nicely because you know it is worth it. All I am saying is, you have much to explain. For every folktale, every love bruise and smile that you found and shared, grandma you have much to explain.

Escaping the Heart-Break Café

Introduction

Today a heart-break is the easiest thing to find*, and divorce is just as American as the pie. You might find yourself sitting on any of these two someday, if not now. But the question is…why?

If our past is full of Romeos and Juliets, Antonys and Cleopatras; and princes and queens who lived and died for nothing except love, how has the world…once a love ocean…transformed into this desert of loneliness?

Three Main Culprits!

Granny, Cele’ and Soapy.

They thought they were bringing people closer, but they created fantasies, misconceptions continuously weakening us out of love. Together on Our Love Pages, we will explore their mistakes, and maybe even give them a chance to explain.



Read on…enjoy.
