Forbidden Thoughts

Like Ifani said in one of the interviews when asked about calling names such as Boity, Zizo Beda etc. in his songs. He simply answered that like any other guy growing up, you fancy those celebs and fantasise about them. You reverie about them on a regular basis. Some of us used to have their sexy photo pull-out from a Bona or Drum magazine displayed in our bedrooms to ogle. That's how close we came to them.

One thing for sure which I know is that we think a lot of forbidden thoughts, they can be negative, positive, raunchy, steamy, explicit, crude, invigorating, evil and comedic. Many of our thoughts never get to see the lights of day, they remain just that. This is necessarily not a bad thing, considering the amount of thoughts that goes through our minds on a daily basis. I remember growing up, in those days physical punishment was order of the day - whether justified or not. My uncle would improperly beat me up, and immediately or later after the punishment ask me to hold the ladder while he climb up the roof to fix some leaks. I will then wish in my heart that he falls down or something happen to him so he can also feel the pain. On more than one occasion when I had wished that, it happened. I always saw that as a revenge for the punishment meted out on me unjustified. I saw it as Gods way of comforting me. The pain was not fatally to my uncle but it served me good that he also got the taste of his own medicine. Children and youngsters then had no rights, no mind and cannot feel anything emotionally.

I think today our forbidden thoughts are more refined and fine-tuned. Some of the forbidden thoughts come to pass, as most of us like playing precariously. The element of vulnerability and being caught is just too fanciful to ignore. Experts normally say you are addicted to stay in trouble. If you are not trying to get in trouble, life become mind-numbing. We see it as daunting task to be subjugated.

Most of us have this forbidden thoughts that we enjoy, especially the positive, steamy and comedic. Disclaimer: This are just thoughts and will remain just that. Have you thought about the office married man or woman that just meet all your fantasies as played out in your mind? How about your lecturer that just dresses the way you had imagined? Your preacher, pastor and spiritual leader? How about the nanny? How about the prostitute? How about you as a comedian, singer, drummer, pianist etc. Forbidden should be those if voiced, people will look at you in awe. I will say let's enjoy the forbidden thoughts and keep them pure, naughty and positive. I would like to hear some of your forbidden thoughts.
