【セルビア料理のご用意に関して重要なお知らせ】

カクテルバー・ネマニャはその名の通りバーとしてオープンしました。バーというのは飲食店の中では特殊な世界で、更にネマニャはその中でも少し異質な存在だと思います。ご常連様のお会計は数杯召し上がっていただき軽く１万円を超えることも多いです。通常の飲食店のお会計でこの価格は驚かれるでしょう。
その価格を「こんなに凄いのを飲めてこの会計だなんて良心的ですね！」と言われる事がありがたい事に多いです。そう仰っていただけるお酒の仕入れを心がけています
そうしたお客様方に支えられて、細々と６年営業してきました。

お食事もあくまでも来てくださっているお客様へのサービスの一環で始めました。セルビア料理も然りです。セルビアへの想いは別にして、「セルビア料理【を】食べる事ができるバー」ではなく、あくまでも「セルビア料理【も】食べる事が出来るバー」なのです。

それ故にネマニャでは積極的にセルビア料理を押し出して集客しようとは少しも思っていません。お客様のリクエストや気まぐれで作った時にFBに載せる程度です。HPにもセルビア料理は４名様以上で要予約と記載しています。

ところが困った事にいつしか「ネマニャはセルビア料理の店」と宣伝されたり拡散されています。お気持ちはありがたいのですが、間違えた情報を拡散されるのは正直困りますし迷惑です。

予約無しで訪れた方々に、セルビア料理の用意が無いとがっかりされたり、怒られたり、「紹介されたから来たのに！」と逆ギレされます。投稿サイトに「折角行ったのに！」とマイナスな事を書かれたりします。
どうしても食べたいと仰るお客様を断りきれず、１〜２名様用に特別にお作りする事もありますが、お料理だけ食べて何も飲まず帰られたこともあります。
先日も同じ事が起きました。「先に食事をして後からドリンクを飲みます。」と言われましたが、結果何も飲まずお食事だけされ帰られました。

ネマニャのセルビア料理＝セルビアの価格と同じ、とお考えになる方も多いです。セルビアに行かれた事がある方はわかると思いますが、例えば魚のスープ。大きなボールで飲んでも現地では300円くらいでしょう。これを日本で作るために必要な野菜、魚、スパイスなど原価で500円以上はかかります。それを600円で販売しているので人件費や光熱費を考えると下手したらマイナスです。
でもそれをセルビアに行かれた日本人の方々には「現地ではこんなに高くないのに！」と怒られます。

平均月収が４万円というセルビアの方々からするとネマニャのお会計は破格の値段でしょう。
わざわざセルビアから訪ねてきてくださった方々に申し訳ないと思い、セルビアからのゲストのお会計は毎回半額以下にしていました。これが間違えていたと思います。
その価格で紹介を受けたと思われるお客様に通常のお会計を出すと「高い！こんなの聞いていない！」と怒られます。

更にチャージについても怒られます。
セルビア料理をご希望の方には毎回「当店はバーですので席料が500円かかります。最低でもドリンク一杯は飲んでください。」と毎回ご説明をしておりますが、「おたくセルビア料理の店なんでしょ？席料なんてそんなの聞いていない！」と怒られます。

こうした事が多々あり、私も店主も疲れてきました。
特にバーテンダー歴が３０年近く、カクテルには並々ならぬ情熱と愛情を持っている店主からすると「飲み物なんていらないんだけど。一杯飲まなきゃいけないの？じゃあビールでいいや！」なんて言葉を聞くと、心底辛いのだと思います。
私もセルビア料理さえ作らなければこんな事にならないのかと、店主に申し訳ない思いで一杯になります。

夫婦二人の店で他にスタッフはおりません。仕入れ、仕込み等すべて自分達で行います。店の運営に加えてノンアルコールジンの製造販売、フェルディナンズのブランドアンバサダーとありがたい事に忙しくしております。
それ故にお客様のご要望すべてにお応えする事は、申し訳ないのですが時間的にも物理的にも不可能です。

そこでお願いです。
もしこの文章を読んでカクテルバー・ネマニャへの認識を間違えていた！と思った方は、次からセルビア料理を食べたいという方にご紹介いただく際は必ず以下をご留意くださいませ。

★セルビア料理のご予約は基本的にはコース仕立てで４名様以上で承っています。

★セルビア料理がアラカルトとしてメニューに気まぐれで登場する事もありますが、毎日必ずご用意がある訳ではありません。

★チャージ（席料）がお一人様５００円かかります。またお一人様あたりワンドリンクは必ずご注文いただいております。
お酒が飲めない方はノンアルコールカクテルもございます。
お食事だけのご利用はお断りしています。

★お店の性質上、基本的に未成年者の入店はできません。
未成年の方のご来店は事前に必ずお問い合わせください。

そしてネマニャのお会計の一例も載せておきます。
ご紹介いただく際はこちらをご参考いただければ幸いです。

【想定ケース】
一人で行った日にたまたまセルビア料理がメニューにあったので食べた。お店の一番人気のカクテルと、珍しいミクロジー・カクテルを頼んで飲んだ。日本に入荷のない限定ウイスキーも飲んだ。

チャージ（席料）５００円
プニェネ・パプリケ（パプリカの肉詰め）１２００円
リブリャ・チョルバ（魚のスープ）６００円
ジントニッキー・メルセデス（カクテル）１４００円
ディアブロ・ミンツ・ブック（カクテル）２４００円
アラリク（ドイツウイスキー）３８００円

合計９９００円

本来ならばこのような事を申し上げるのは非常に心苦しいのですが、現状が全く改善できない為苦渋の決断の上、この場を借りてお願いさせていただきます。
長文になってしまい大変申し訳ございません。
どうぞよろしくお願い致します。
[important announcement about the preparation of Serbian cuisine]

Cocktail Bar Nemanja opened as a bar in its name. A bar is a special world in the restaurant, and I think Nemanja is a bit different in the middle of the day. There are a lot of regular accounts for a few cups, and it is often over 1 Yen. This price will be amazed at regular restaurants.
It's a lot of blessing to be told that the price " drink this amazing is conscience!" I'm trying to get a drink that I can say so
I've been open for a little bit of 6 years since I've been supported by these customers.

We started with part of our service to our customers who are also coming. Serbian food is also true. Apart from the thoughts of Serbia, it is not " a bar that can eat " Serbian food, but it is only " a bar that can eat " Serbian food "

So I don't think I'm going to push and attract serbian food positively in Nemanja. It's about putting it on fb when you make it with a customer's request or a whim. We also have more than 4 Serbian cuisine on our HP.

But in trouble, "Nemanja is a serbian restaurant" advertised and spread. I'm very grateful for your feelings, but I'm honestly in trouble to spread the wrong information. It's annoying.

For those who visited without a reservation, there was no serbian food prepared, and it was offended," it was introduced, so I was able to do it!" I've been to the post site, and I'm going to write a negative thing.
I can't refuse a customer who wants to eat it, and I can make it special for 1 TO 2 people, but I've been able to eat only food, and I've been able to drink nothing.
The same thing happened the other day." I was told that I was going to eat a drink later, and I'm going to drink a drink later." but I didn't drink anything, and I was able to go back to eat.

It's a lot of people who think about Nemanja's Serbian cuisine = the same as the price of Serbia. I think it's possible to have been to Serbia, but for example, fish soup. It's about 300 yen on the ground, even if you drink with a big ball. It takes more than 500 yen for the cost of vegetables, fish, spices, and more to make this in Japan. I'm selling it for 600 yen, so if you're bad at thinking about labor expenses and utility expenses, it's minus.
But to the Japanese people who went to Serbia, they are offended by " it's not this expensive on the ground!"

Nemanja's accounting is an exceptional price, from Serbian people who are 4 Yen per average income.
I'm sorry for all the people who came to visit me from Serbia, and my guest accounting from Serbia was under half price every time. I think this was a mistake.
Normal Accounting for customers who think they were introduced at the price " expensive! I haven't heard this!" I'm pissed off.

Even more charge will be pissed off.
For those who want serbian food, " our shop is a bar, so it takes 500 yen. Please drink a drink at least." I explain it every time, but," it's a serbian restaurant, isn't it? I'm pissed off that I haven't heard anything like that!"

There are many things like this, and I am also tired of the shopkeeper.
In particular, the bartender history has been around 30 years, and the cocktails have no extraordinary passion and affection. " I don't need a drink. Need to drink a cup? Well, beer is good!" what a word I think it's really painful.
I'm sorry for the shopkeeper, if I don't even make serbian food, I won't be able to do this.

There are no other staff in the two couple stores. We will do all of our purchase, preparation, etc. In addition to the operation of the store, we are busy with the brand ambassador of Ferdinand, the manufacture of non-alcoholic gin, and the brand ambassador of Ferdinand.
Therefore, I am sorry to respond to all the customer's needs, but it is also impossible to be physically or physically.

I beg you there.
If I read this sentence I was wrong with the recognition of cocktail bar Nemanja! If you think you want to eat serbian food from the next one, please be sure to take note of the following.

★ Reservations for Serbian cuisine are basically available in a course tailored over 4 people.

★ Serbian cuisine is a la carte, and it is also possible to appear on the menu, but every day is not prepared.

★ charge (what) takes 500 yen per person. We are always ordering one drink per person.
If you can't drink alcohol, we also have non-alcoholic cocktails.
I don't want to use the food only.

★ on the nature of the shop, we can't basically enter the minors.
Please be sure to contact us in advance for minors.

And I will also post an example of Nemanja's accounting.
If you'd like to introduce it, please refer to this.

[expected case]
I just happened to eat serbian food on the menu on the day I went alone. I drank the most popular cocktail of the shop and asked for a rare micro cocktail. We also drank limited whiskey that has not arrived in Japan.

Charge (what) 500 yen
- Park (meat stuffed with paprika) 1200 yen
Ribs Julia (fish soup) 600 yen
Gimbal Mercedes (Cocktail) 1400 yen
Diablo Mintz Book (Cocktail) 2400 yen
Ala (German whiskey) 3800 yen

A total of 9900 yen

I'm very sorry to say something like this, but I'm going to borrow this place for a hard decision because the current situation can't improve at all.
I'm very sorry for the long time.
Thank you very much for your support.Translated

There’s a story behind this heart-wrenching video! 😢😭
...
While Omar Mukhtar was writing about the #WeAreAllMary campaign, I remembered this video that we recorded last year during our weekly family meeting, but we never got around to sharing it. The topic that we discussed that day was about those less fortunate children in Palestine, Syria and all around the world. Our intention was to remind them of how lucky they were to have food to eat, to have a roof over their heads etc. We also tried to make them realise that it was our duty to help those in need.
.
Fatimah was only 4 years old and Ali was barely 3 at the time, but I was amazed by how much they understood the suffering of the children of Palestine. The topic touched their hearts so much that Ali offered to give his favourite ‘religious bird’ toy to the children and Fatimah even wanted to build houses with heaters and fans for the children to live in!
.
But at one point, when we asked them what message they wanted to send to the children of Palestine, Fatimah said, “I want to tell all the children in Palestine not to be sad.” but that was the last sentence we heard from her before she got choked up. Those of you who know Fatimah will know how strong she is, but not this time. Soon we too were getting emotional, seeing a 4-year-old girl shed tears for people she has never even met! Even Mukhtar himself couldn’t hold his tears back.
.
May God bless all of our children and guide them to extend their hand and help the needy...
Have a blessed Friday,
Mrs Mom ♥️

【賭上靈魂的女人】

青竹蛇兒口，黃蜂尾上針，兩者皆不毒，最毒婦人心。

I have a Bazi client, who has been a social escort for over a decade.

She didn't tell me the truth at the start. In fact, she "challenged" me to use my 6th sense and offered her Bazi.

I do not need your Bazi to read you inside out. Also, Bazi analysis is a highly methodological and scientific method to understand a person's past, present and future Destiny. I'm no medium. There is no 6th sense needed.

Over the many short messages before our meeting, she expressed her shock that I could read so much from merely her words.

I didn't have her birth details at that time, nor had I seen a single photo of hers.

With the internet era, a competent Metaphysics practitioner must have the ability to dissect a person's true character and intention, even from a simple "Hi".

Impossible? Too judgmental? You just haven't met a seasoned human scanner in real life. Or you don't know the true you well enough to see the rock hard truth in our words.

While messaging me questions about a (legitimate) business of hers, I replied with a verse written by my Grandmaster, Living Buddha Lian Sheng:

"君子愛財，取之有道。
不義之財雖到手，
無限後患跟著來。"

(While wealth is covetable, a gentleman makes his wealth through just and ethical means.
Ill gotten wealth, though in your hands, will elicit endless troubles pouring your way.)

She was astounded and asked, "Do you actually know what my job is? This is shocking..."

I guess I passed her challenge with flying colours.

.

She wasn't a sex worker, due to harsh circumstances like severe poverty or mountains of heavy medical bills for her family.

A drunk gang rape incident in her uni days changed her views on men and she wanted to take revenge on men. She lived a life of drugs and alcohol in between her lectures.

The way I see it, is her obsession for money that caused her downfall.

On one hot summer day in 2006, she answered a social escort advertisement. She was barely 21 and was influenced by what she read online.

The "Mama-san" who looked her over told her she needed to put on weight.

She was surprised. Wasn't it easier to earn money with a slim figure?

The Mama-san snapped, "Nonsense. Most men dislike a woman who is too slim. They prefer those with some flesh."

She silently made a promise to herself to swallow more burgers.

Her first client was an Arabic businessman. She was paid US500 for one hour.

That virgin taste of easy money lured her deeper and deeper into the abyss.

Clients of powerful backgrounds, Singapore and overseas, single and married, private and government sectors...one-on-one, multiple players, mass orgies...

She lived like a bird freed from her cage. Suddenly she could buy anything she desired, just by sweet talking and giving lusty men access to her nubile body. She was in and out of hotels, as frequently as 5 times a day.

The carefree lifestyle, the freedom of not answering to any boss and those money that poured from the sky was her drug.

In her own words, she was "the woman that all wives curse and fear".

She referred to herself as the woman the wife will loathe to find traces of existence, when the wife checks her husband's handphone with trembling hands.

It was as if she took pride in that.

How did her cause of seeking revenge on men become a twisted path of demolishing other women's marriages?

.

It didn't take her long to accumulate 6-figures in her bank account.

The more money she had, however, the more insecure she became.

She worried about losing it all. She deeply craved the warmth of love to complete her soul.

She was only 22. The client was manly, handsome and charming. He gave her $20K for her company.

She badly wanted him for her own. To be his wife.

With $100,000 withdrawn, she gave it all to her 2nd Mama-san. She decided she would use black magic to lock his heart. And soul.

But it was a fraud. The Mama-san started exhorting from her.

She was desperate and down to her last $2. She began stealing from her family and lying to feed the incessant demands and threats from her Mama-san.

She gradually realised this was her retribution of selling her body for quick money.

However, this new realisation didn't change her a bit.

She met a new client, Dave. He was a married man. It was love at first sight for her.

The initial joy she had from the money and attention he showered her blinded her wisdom to the extramarital affair.

She stayed in one of Hong Kong's expensive apartments at a prime district. But it soon became an soulless shell of loneliness that prompted her suicide attempts.

Dave coldly dumped her like a hot potato, as he didn't wish to handle an emotionally volatile woman.

.

Ken told her she bore an uncanny resemblance to his first love. She fell hard for his sweet words and gentle demeanour.

He weaved a forlorn tale of an emotionally abusive and lonely marriage, and how it was impossible for him not to to be attracted to her.

They travelled greatly and dined at expensive restaurants.

To have a married man giving his heart to her, was like tasting the forbidden apple. That first juicy bite satiated her craving to be desired. And to win another woman.

This time, she decided she would use black magic again to break up his marriage. She coveted that role of his wife. A permanent and lasting relationship, finally.

Black magic uses the dark forces of ghosts to carry out the client's wishes. She paid a good US$10,000 for a famous sorcerer and another US$4000 for her Thai amulet and mud puppet.

Did she capture Ken in the end?

They got into physical fights crazily. The amulet that controlled the ghosts backfired, and her sanity was devoured by the ghosts.

.

Her craziness drove her to swallow 200 sleeping pills and cut her wrists. ANYTHING to have him stay with her. Ken was horrified and visited her daily at the hospital. She felt triumphant. Finally, he was at her beck and call.

The happiness was short-lived. After her discharge, he broke up with her when he was on an overseas stint.

She went absolutely berserk and grabbed a knife to her throat. It felt that the ghosts wielded full control of her mind and body. Her mum kept yelling at her.

The realisation of truth came too late for her: A man, who lied to his wife and had an affair, will never be honest with her. Once a liar, always a liar.

She was warded into the high-dependancy unit at the mental hospital. Everyday, she was surrounded by suicidal and high-risk patients. They were bounded at their feet and hands. It was a petrifying sight. Was this the end of her life? She wasn't even 28. How did she allowed a man to destroy her prime years?

She sought to understand love and karma. She delved into Buddhist books, wanting to know what caused her to lose her mind. She started to have deep regret about taking short cuts in life and her laziness in earning money the ethical way. She saw, on her hands, the fresh blood of people's happiness that she had killed.

But the greed and anxiety in her couldn't be satisfied with a regular job. Or a single man who doesn't make enough to provide for her.

She was needy, attention-seeking and quarrelsome. I had called her a yoyo. I had spent many hours over a few months, replying to her messages.

Every day, she fought hard against the temptation to take up another escort job

.

「捨邪歸正」

I lost count how many Masters she sought advice from before she found me online.

She read my posts and was amazed by my tenacity to take failures.

She watched my video on suicide and became aware of the Hell that all suicide victims go to. To repeat that act of killing themselves every day at the same time they died.

Among the many things I said at our consultation, I could tell her the age range she sold herself and that it was a elder lady who gave her the chance. She was surprised at my accuracy.

I told her the only way out was to sincerely repent for her past misdeeds. Blind listening to Buddhist chants and sutras would do nothing to change her fate. That is passive. Being active is to recite it and abide by the precepts.

I instructed her to write out her story in as much details as possible, to lead other sex workers, or wannabes, suicidal people and men with affairs to the Right Path.

This was one of the fastest ways I know that can change a disastrous life around.

All the Thai amulets, crystals and pendants she stashed in her room MUST go. She spoke of their decreasing power over time, and it seemed like a never-ending black hole as she kept on buying more and more to help her legitimate business.

She asked whether she would be able to get a publisher to buy her story.

I told her to forget about making money from her book. Give it for free. Post it online. Somehow, somewhere, everywhere. Get the story out. Fast.

When her boyfriend left her a sum of money, I insisted that she returned it. Don't take money that you didn't earn it rightfully. She said that was her breakup fee. I put my feet down, and said it was a proper relationship between two singles, and she caused the breakup. Why would she need money for loving a man who had loved her?

She promised she would write her story.

But she lied to me. Just like how she lied of making the $49 donation the next day, before seeking a Bazi consultation with me.

She went to the Guan Yin Temple at Waterloo Street, and sought a divination stick. It was her favourite activity whenever she was troubled or at a dilemma.

Right after she left the temple, she messaged and questioned why she received a 下簽 (bad lot) for my recommendation.

I asked for the number of the divination lot and the actual question she posed.

"I want to write a story about my life to encourage women not to sell their bodies and for married men not to have affairs. I may be hurt or sabotaged by people, so please protect me."

That didn't sound like a question. But the Bodhisattva had a way in teaching sentient beings.

I was dumbfounded at the Bodhisattva's omnipresent accuracy and foresight, when I saw the divination number.

It was a bad lot indeed, but not because of the solution I gave to my client.

.

「莊子試妻」

Zhuangzi was a famous and well-respected Chinese philosopher of the Warring States Period.

One day at the mountains, he walked past a new grave and saw a woman kneeling over the freshly turned soil, hurriedly fanning it.

Not understanding the woman's behaviour, Zhuangzi asked for her intention.

The woman replied, that her husband lied beneath the soil. Before he died, he had said she could only remarry, when the soil of his grave dried. It was the rainy season at that time, hence her fervent fanning, so that she could quickly seek a new man.

Zhuangzi shook his head, when he heard of her heartlessness.

Unknown to many, Zhuangzi was an accomplished Taoist practitioner. With his supernatural powers, he helped the woman to dry the soil almost immediately. Thrilled at the dried grave, the widow gave her fan to Zhuangzi and hurried down the mountain.

Zhuangzi returned home, singing and waving the fan. His wife, Tian, questioned where he got the fan from. When she heard of the widow, Tian was so angry that she tore the fan into pieces and called the widow shameless.

Zhuangzi pacified his wife and said he had faith in her chastity.

A few days later, he fell very sick and died. Tian was saddened at her husband's sudden death and wept in sorrow

At his funeral, a very handsome young man showed up with his old servant. He said he was Zhuangzi's student, and a son of an important government official.

He wanted to perform the rites of a dutiful student, and helped in his teacher's funeral, by watching vigil for three years.

His good looks caught the eye of the newly minted widow, Tian. She sought to know more his eligibility from the old servant.

Within 20 days, they got married.

On the night of their wedding, the young man was struck with an ear-shattering migraine. Tian anxiously asked the old servant for help. The old servant said his young master had this strange illness since birth. The only cure was to consume the brain of a human. Back in his hometown, the father would take the brain from the prisoners sentenced for death for his son.

But in this remote countryside, where could they find a human brain as medicine?

Tian thought of her dead husband. She promptly took an axe and hacked open his coffin.

Zhuangzi leapt out from the coffin and mused this now-famous Chinese verse, "青竹蛇兒口，黃蜂尾上針，兩者皆不毒，最毒婦人心。"

Tian proclaimed that she heard noises in her coffin and wanted to see if Zhuangzi was alive.

Zhuangzi questioned the red finery on her and the red decor in the house. Tian argued that she wanted to welcome him. So she donned on the wedding finery to get married with him again.

The young man and his servant walked in. They were actually manifestations of Zhuangzi's supernatural powers.

Tian was so ashamed of her heartless and deciteful act that she eventually hung herself.

.

Every divination lot comes with a poem and a background story. This was the background story on my client's divination lot.

The poem states:

因名喪德如何事 卻恐吉中變化凶
酒醉不知何處去 青松影里夢朦朧

Virtues are destroyed in pursuit of self gain. Fear that the auspicious will morph into bad.

The drunkard knows nowhere to go. In the green forest a shadow lingers in a dreamy haze.

.

It is common to encounter clients that lack faith in my recommendations.

Some will ask many questions after our session, wanting to know why my solutions will help them or how I derive my solutions. There are also emotional clients who would flare up and lose all their manners, when they can't get an answer that they like from me.

I don't ask my doctor what ingredient goes into the making of my cough syrup and how it works scientifically in my body.

I take action by drinking it as prescribed. Because based on past experience, I trust that his medicine will work to help my predicament. I don't drink, I continue to be sick, I don't see results.

My suggestions don't require my clients to consume unknown medical liquids into their bodies. Yet few clients take action, when it comes to their Destiny.

Despite me being recommended by their friend who experienced positive results with my help, and have genuine testimonials to justify my fees.

That divination lot was Bodhisattva telling me: My client will not write her story, for she does not sincerely regret her past acts.

It was also a grave reprimand to her to mend her ways before it was too late.

But she didn't see the divination lot in the same manner as I did.

Not only does she lack faith in my words, she distrusted the holy words of the Bodhisattva too.

.

Give money, buy love, buy fame, buy business, buy wealth and buy that. No need hard work.

Such is the sexy appeal of many ghostly amulets. They appeal to people who want many things in life but refuse to follow the Law of Karma, to sow seeds the right way.

I see one client bidded for a Thai amulet from a Facebook Live. Another wanted to buy a multi-coloured bracelet, because "so pretty! Got power some more!" Luckily, his Wife who had learned some Buddhism from me stopped him.

.

In March 2017, this client sent me a message:

"Hi Ji Qian, hope you are well. Good luck for your Home Fengshui For A Happy Marriage tomorrow.

I was looking thru our past convos where we first started speaking online. Yes, Im a spoilt brat and Im a yoyo porcupine. I look at a sentence that is poignant - "the day you stop relying on men is the day you become prosperous". I wonder if that day will ever come. I I finally understand that my Facebook Adverts getting disabled is due to my past karma. And I haven't finished writing the repentance story which u instructed me to write in August. I think I know that I'm half-hearted in repentance, that's why I can't bring myself to finish the story. I'm just wondering if I am supposed to survive on my savings till my Facebook Advert Account get reactivated.

I haven't been able to find any new product to sell since XXX (sales also failing miserably). I am weak-willed and too reliant on men. The only thing keeping me from committing suicide is my mum and because I'm reminded by Shifu's words that a suicide victim is doomed to repeat the same act."

菩薩英明。

.

Last year, I had casually asked if I could share her story. She promptly gave me the permission.

Yesterday, one client called me unempathetic towards him. The way he wrote suddenly jolted my memory of this client. I had taken too long to write her story.

I told her to write in English and Chinese, and she did part of it.

The account you read of her past was adapted from her written work. Though there are many grammar and structural mistakes, she does write very well.

The poison in our hearts will eventually consume our souls if we do not purge it out. What joy is there when we resort to brutal force to keep a man by our side? Should he chooses to leave, that does not discount the value of our self worth. A man who isn't interested in you for the right reason isn't attractive.

The same goes for men who cheat or pay for sex. You are ruining another woman's life when you satisfy your lust.

When you inflict suffering on another being, in return, you get pain and suffering on yourself. So don't sow the seed in the first place. Repentance done right over a period of time can prevent your past bad seeds from germinating, and reduce your suffering.

If there is any merit in sharing her story here, I dedicate all of it to my client.

May she have the inner wisdom and stability to lead a virtuous life.

May she always be surrounded by good teachers to show her the way.

May her vile affinities be broken and replaced by good ones.

May her greed and hatred be subdued.

May she repent for her past transgressions in time.

No matter how long it may take, one step forward into the Light is one step away from Darkness.
