THE BLIGHT OF BAD SUCCESS – PART 1:In October 2012, news made the round world over of a 20-year-old Brazilian girl who put her virginity for auction online to the highest bidder. The bid ended on the 24th day of October that same year and the highest bidder was a Japanese man who reportedly won the bid at a whooping seven hundred and eighty thousand US Dollars ($780,000). For weeks, this despicable online “virginity demolition bid” went on. It was shocking to see how unabashed men fought tenaciously to pay such a whooping sum of money just to dis-virgin a 20-year-old girl. What an incredible absurdity. It was also reported that the act was to be consummated aboard a private airplane on a flight from Australia to the United States of America. Her aim purportedly was to raise money to help poor families in her community in southern Brazil. It is indeed ludicrous that prostitution could be depicted as a legitimate instrument to help the poor.It was flabbergasting to monitor such bizarre online virginity demolition bid as several men had contended for that outrageous episode of a goofy contemporaneous prostitution. In this 21st century, absurdity has been subtly repackaged. How sad it is that a 20-year-old girl, devoid of all decency and dignity would condescend to such level of inanity. But why recount this sordid report? It is because success is indeed relative and means different things to different people, be it prostitutes, armed robbers, bandits, terrorists, corrupt politician, crooked entrepreneurs, despotic and cruel leaders like Adolf Hitler who only attract bad successes to their names.  While some people aspire to impact humanity positively and successfully, there are those whose success goals were or are steered at destroying lives and properties, and bringing misery to humankind. Undoubtedly, bad success attracts sorrow and often leads to destruction.Enjoy!
