Free Milk - Are you a Supplier or a Demander???

The initial question was "Why buy a cow when you can get milk for free?"

When I ask the question "Are you a Supplier or a Demander," although I use the term "demander" loosely, it is used to impact the question rather than for aesthetic reasons.

Many men cannot really be blamed for asking this question, as there are abundant women out there supplying free milk and thus devaluing the price of cows.

Should women (and men alike) continue to provide free milk for the taking at the expense of other women and some men, or should our value systems be reevaluated to be more in line with the advice in the bible that states that fornication and adultery should be abstained from, and sexual intimacy should be postponed until marriage?

Considering not many women and especially men are willing or even inclined to wait until marriage to consummate their relationships, this might be a tough one. Many are unaware of the spiritual implications of fornication and the spiritual ties that are formed due to such act, and many couldn't care less, as even the high incidences of sexual diseases or STDs have not been much of a deterrent.

Even Aids which has no known cure has not been a deterrent, as people have found it to be a manageable disease and thus continue to satisfy their sexual desires and fornicate, or commit adultery at leisure.

Some men even refer to fornication as "Testing the Merchandise," as if women were objects to be tested and discarded if and when they do not suit the particular man's purposes. Worse more is the fact that women have generally become objects to be discarded WHEN no longer desired.

Some men feel the urge to sow their wild oats for a period or even a life-time, while most seem to have misinterpreted God's desire when he asked human beings to go forth and multiply. Sowing one's oats wild or not, is a personal decision, but doing so at others expenses is of more concern.

Young folks learn from their parents, other adults and their peers, so the pressure to fornicate is usually higher on them, especially at the ages where their hormones are going haywire. How can the act of fornication be reduced, when they are bombarded by a sexually explicit, increasingly promiscuous global community?

Gone are the days of courting. Today, most people just want instant sexual gratification, and since we're in the fast-food era filled with "Me, Myself and I" personalities, it is an increasingly tough challenge to persuade teenagers to avoid fornication, let alone adults.

Adults who are in adulterous relationships for instant sexual gratification outside of their marriages are also great contributors to the growing problem, especially now women are rapidly catching up with men in the adultery game.

Teenagers who have unrestrained libidos are on the other hand, increasing the incidences of unwanted pregnancies, which further enlarges the pool of babies born to "Baby Mamas" with no "Baby Daddies" in sight to cater for the innocent babies.

Is the problem arising from the women and few men who are supplying the free milk, or is it from the numerous men who expect free milk and want their quotas filled and thus put a growing number of women in a position of suppliers?

Considering the ratio of women to men in the world, especially in urban cities is presently so disproportionate, that it is no longer fashionable to have female children; one can also ask "Is the demand for free milk greater than the supply, or is the supply of free milk greater than the demand?"

When this issue is perceived from this and other angles, then maybe solutions can be sought and hopefully realized.

My folks what are your takes on the subject matter?
