The lure of the loon

The lure of the loon

I have often wondered why sane people 
find the mentally unstable, deranged or 
raving mad people fascinating and 
sometimes compelling to the point of being 
irresistible
Was it the lure of seeing someone whose 
mind had gone off the rails or perhaps the 
nakedness of their reality 
It is true that we find a perverted pleasure 
or curiosity in watching the mad display 
their madness
A man dresses like a woman, is propped us 
for the world as an example of cross-dressing 
and he attains a celebrity status
Just like that...
We have a taste for the morbid and the 
gory
We like seeing broken humanity and sometimes 
we like taking advantage of such
Or how else would you explain mad women 
roaming about naked on the streets
Someone "sane" actually thought it was a 
good idea to sleep with such a fellow
I have seen men lust after naked mad 
women unashamedly before
It was as if the madness address an allure, 
another layer of attractiveness to the 
young woman
I saw a man park a car once and shamelessly 
started to use money to engage and court 
the attention of a mad young lady
People said he wanted to use her for ritual 
but it was not so
She later stabbed him in the stomach weeks 
later after they had sex in an uncompleted 
building
You will have to wonder how sane he was 
to be so engrossed in the world of such a 
dangerous lady
Was it love?
Was it sympathy?
Was it the God complex?
The saviour complex? 
I read of a lady who set her ex on fire 
because he left her
Yes, sometimes fear keeps us in a relationship 
with the mentally unstable
I saw a lady once telling a guy she would kill 
him if he ever left her and he laughed!
Wow!
She wasn't joking and he didn't see the 
red flag! 
Several cases of unstable men pouring 
acid on a lady because she broke up with 
them used to be rampant
We have seen cases of stabbings, skewering 
and so on
I remember a case i once witnessed
This lady cheated and the guy caught her 
red-handed
She knew his temper was madness and 
accepted that the relationship was over
Two weeks after the whole drama, she 
sneaked out of her mother's house to 
this guy's flat and this guy fed her viper 
insecticide
He killed her and then he went to the 
police station to report that she died in 
her sleep
Why did she go back? 
I had a crazy rule before i got married
If you ever touch me physically with the 
intention to harm me during an argument 
or out of anger, that is the end of the 
relationship
If I feel threatened in any way in your 
company or that of your friends, i am 
walking away!
I am worth one million of you put together 
and i cannot allow one iron bender's 
daughter to ruin my glorious life
I have seen relatives of the mentally 
unstable doing everything to get that their 
mentally unstable child married too
I think this is sheer wickedness
Why package a liability 
for someone's son or daughter to live with?
I believe mentally unstable people should 
get help and be healed and then they can 
get married but marriage shouldn't be part 
of their therapy
Please keep away from live wires who 
can snuff out your life without a second 
thought! 

Finally, my heart wept for the young lady 
whose video i saw so full of life only to 
read that she was killed and her body parts 
harvested for ritual
See...
You cannot tell me you don't know when 
you're in the company of someone whose 
only desire was to use you
Intuition is real! 
Once you feel uncomfortable around anyone, 
either male or female, you don't really need 
a reason to walk away from them
I met a guy once in Bodija Estate Ibadan, 
we met on a football field and he was very
 friendly towards me
I liked him too
A few days later somebody said this guy 
lured a neighbour's son to a place in Ijebu, 
intending to use the guy for money ritual 
but the voodoo didn't work. I didn't wait 
to see if it was a rumor or not. 
I shooed him off and never had anything 
to do with him again
If you suspect/smell a foul play in your 
guts, pls run! 

PS: That woman they are listening to 
in certain churches and spreading her 
picture and silliness all over the internet 
is not mentally okay
We all know it is not good to laugh at 
mentally unstable people
Please ignore her so that she can get help
That's how to help her!
