“It’s called letting go… Keep it in mind that even while alive, if your wife divorces you, she’d still be entitled to some of your property and if she remarries, another man would share them with her.
Indeed, I have pondered over another man enjoying my wife and property and this isn’t the most reassuring of thoughts. But hey, you really don’t have much of a choice, short of coming back as a ghost to haunt them.🤣
So be good to her and the kids while alive and you’d live on fondly in her memories, that’s your consolation right there. Putting her in the path of war with your family would only breed bitterness, in my humble opinion. ~FRZ”.

What about those who didn’t win, how would they feel ? That might destroy their confidence, they’ll try to validate their existence through their physical appearance. That’s why you see kids growing up with body dysmorphia thinking they are imperfect because all their lives adults have made them feel their only worth is how they look. Girls especially are taught from young ages to be concern about their physical flaws. It’s just wrong how we instill this in kids and then we even make them compete, freaking wrong !!!”
