People like a world of license where they'd do anything and don't give a hoot about it. Most persons' lives are so disgusting that they are worse than imbeciles. Some adult behaviour lacks reasonable analysis anything more than an uppity. Yes, euphoria. Some are unable to outgrow adolescent stage. They just ride along on the whirl of euphoria.
Some adult exuberant behaviour could be traced to their childhood experiences. In some, they grew in a state of penury and once they are able to break out of that situation, try to relive the good time they'd missed in their childhood days. I thing that can explain why some adults behave more irresponsible than children.
 
These persons do not know when they are grown up. The only sign of adulthood is their physique and probably their having wives and children. Yes building homes is where this essay concentrates on. Building homes demand responsible living and that is exhibiting self-respect in every aspect of life.
A practical example of this happened some time ago. We were drinking at our NUJ club house when a staff of NNPC walked in with a pretty looking lassie. Nobody took much notice of them until the interesting scene occurred. The man had asked the girl to order for drink. As they were drinking, the playboy proceeded to load his handset with a recharge card. It was a Nokia snapper.
In a cooish tone (trust aristo girls) the girl begged him to allow her make a minute call with his handset. Desperate to please her, he quickly obliged her request and that was when the drama really started. She began dialing a number and at the same time edging away from the man's side. The first thing that came to mind was that the girl did not want the man to over-hear what she had to say. But she had a grander plan. She quietly left the place with the set and vamoosed out of sight. No one around knew what happened until it was over. The interesting thing was the deftness and the calm confidence with which she did the 'thieving.' The man realizing the situation very late sat speechlessly like the moron that he is.
 
We all took it indifferently until some one said that he can get it back when he gets to her house. Then the truth came out. He never knew her from Adam. He just met her on the road and decided he wanted her. The question most of us dare to ask (gossippily) was how was he going to explain the whole thing to his wife at home? Of course he will mention pone snatchers or armed robbers.
Most men are like that: very care free. This man has only exhibited his irresponsibility and if you come to thick of it, what kind of advice can he give to his children? I can easily conjecture that he could be having a very beautiful wife at home but due to his dangerous libido would descend so low as he did.
I call this type of person crazy hunter. Such goes after everything on skirts. They'd spend everything they have for the tramps just because they are wagging their asses in obscene manner. Some men get emotional whirl each time they see girls in provocative clothes - just any girl and they'd go whacko. They lose their heads in morbid phantasm.
Women, too are not exempted from this rascality. Some go mad at the sight of men. You see women talking about men always and how they could easily assess a man by merely looking at him. Some go into dream, lustfully, on how a man could be in bed.
They go crazy at the sight of anything on two legs. Some have even procured electronic phalluses to help them control their urge. Irresponsible life is not good especially for adults. It makes you a liability to the society and the nuisance you constitute with such behaviour makes you a threat to others. People like this deserve assistance.
They not only need prayer but re-orientation to imbibe the tenets of self-restraint.
