In 1140, a German king conquered a castle, and he made a deal with the women in the castle before sl@ughtering and destroying everything in that castle.
He told the women that they are free to carry to safety anything they can carry on their shoulders. Just anything on their shoulders, and they will be free together with what they carried, through the gate.
The German king thought the women would carry their jewelries, silver and gold, so he waited, swords in the hands of his battle hardened bl00d thirsty commanders, sitting on their willing war horses.
But to his amazement, the women came through the gate carrying their husbands and male besties on their shoulders. Despite the weights of those men, their women carried them through the gate to safety. They left all their other belongings behind.
How many of you women can do this for your men, and how many of you men can boast of this act from your women???
For me, I don't know for you, I guess I would have been unlucky here, as the opposite would have been my case if I were in that era. I would have been left behind for a chest of trinkets and a free passage to the side of safety. I would have stayed behind in full body armor, sword and dagger in both hands (no shield), fought gallantly with Honor and glory, knowing I am fighting to the death, and also dy!ng with the knowledge that I was betrayed by my woman. 😢
SMH. I so hope I get it right someday.
Ndi o'mere, amarala!
It is well.
May this Afor bring us good tidings!.
