make a blockbuster movie. The ‘friends’
we make on social media are virtual and
the relationships need be addressed thus.
Getting close and intimate with people we
hardly know can have massive irreparable
consequences.
Shared Activities
The proverbial MBAs, gyms, professional
associations,
social
get-togethers,
professional workshops out of town, etc.
All these are harmless and extremely
progressive activities that are a part of
our everyday lives in one way or another.
That they can become our worst nemesis
shouldn’t be lost to us.
Sherry was a banker with a local bank and
she was heading the Credit Department.
She had risen quite fast through the ranks
and managed to scale very impressively.
She had just completed her MBA and
was really excited at the prospects that lay
before her. She had been dating Harrison
for 3 years and they had a mature and
balanced relationship. He ran their family
business and had grown it phenomenally.
They had agreed that they would get
married after she had completed her

She had enrolled at her local gym to get
into shape for her big day. She met Jake
at the same gym and they became good
friends and even introduced him to
Harrison. They would train on similar
days with Jake and soon she realized that

an international brand and they even
began exchanging ideas.
Opportunity came up for an out of
town symposium that saw both of
them represent their respective banks
and they even talked nicely to the front
office for them to have adjacent rooms.
The symposium was on for 3 days and
on the second night after dinner they
shared drinks and they got a tad tipsy.
They found themselves in Jakes room
and were stripping each other’s clothes
off with hunger.
At that point Sherry’s life flashed in front
of her. She remembered her commitment
to Harrison, his love for her, their
coming wedding, and immediately threw
Jake off before going the whole mile. He
panicked and asked what the problem
was, but she dressed in silence and left
the room in a huff. She had come to
the “Point of Wololo” and had made a
consciously good decision.
This could be you or me. But why leave
it to go all that way when you can see it
from the beginning that this is definitely
going south? We have instincts that
spring up in our spirits but we
