Laptop ladies for happiness in Juba town

By Atok Dan Baguoot 

“Drunkenness is temporary suicide; the happiness that it brings is merely negative, a momentary cessation of unhappiness” Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970).

As the world advances technologically, laptop computers are becoming mini fashion dominant in the private lifestyle of most business-minded professions likewise in government perimeters as it eases tedious paper work of compiling and perusing over thousand hundreds heap of files stored in order to come up with only a piece of information needed to make the ends meet in business. 

Apart from being an instrument of work, laptop computer also helps entertains owners as some contained built-in game data and refreshing videos besides files installed which suit the market demand of the dot com generation as well as generation past the era. 

In the lap of luxury, there is a frequent rise in the number of the writer referred to as laptop ladies, deriving the concept from the word laptop which means a small portable computer that can be placed on the lap while doing work. In the luxury industry, social scientists have thoroughly researched the causes of human beings' susceptibility to stress and depression as ingredients that accompanied prolonged unhappiness experienced over the duration of time with the sole aim of achieving happiness in life. 

Of course, after all the sole human mission in life is to have attainable happiness before one could desert life’s football pitch called earth for another world of ever happiness as mentioned in the holy religious books. Philosopher and scholar Aristotle talked of attainment of happiness through the exercise of reason over human faculties. (Greek Schools of Ethics, Western Philosophy) “Believe in order to understand and understand in order to believe.” 

Like the Neo-Platonist, he considered the soul a higher form of existence than the body and taught that knowledge consists in the contemplation of Platonic ideas as abstract notions apart from sensory experience and anything physical or material. Epicurus taught of happiness as the serenity resulting from the conquest of the fear of the gods, of death, and of the afterlife. The ultimate aim of all Epicurean speculation about nature is to rid people of such fears. 

Southern Sudan which had just emerged out of the protracted unhappy civil war of achieving total world happiness is day and night struggling to peer and pair equally with those who are some thousand miles or kilometers ahead of it in happiness thus, scrutinizing the quality and quantity of imported items whether be it cultures or consumer goods is just done hastily and haphazardly in order to have a quick catch up. 

It was one time rumored that a quantity of beer supposedly consumed in a period of ten years in the tiny republic of Uganda is consumed in less than a decade or even two years time in Southern Sudan moreover the population of Uganda triples ours if not half as we were unconvinced by the Khartoum 2008 doctored and politicized Sudan Fifth Household Census results which estimated the South differently from what UN and other world bodies predicted. 

In those places frequent by nocturnal human beings, imported ladies from neighboring countries have instantly robbed the computers from occupying laps in night bars. In fact, the rise in the number of foreign ladies in juba has actually added paraffin to already worsen polygamy practice in Southern Sudan as a majority of young ladies in the South are fed up and ill mad with shared husbands. Instead of a laptop computer which is indeed very light compared to the weight of a well-fed human being whose weight ranges from 60 and above their porters find them lighter than even the weight of a bag of feathers probably because happiness makes their spongy bodies just duty-bound affair which ought full devotion as the day would be nostalgic to both. 

However, the weight is always felt in pocket drainage since these fortunate fellows never let your pocket go back swollen like the way it came before. It is their untaught philosophy that the depth of men's pocket warrants the intimacy of this temporarily parasitic relationship which normally leaves a lot of shame, and disgrace and betrays the dealers back in their really known affairs. No one always wishes to talk of it openly as it affects the normalcy of existing relationships. 

While accruing to such agreements, couples feel unbothered by the use of adult education English language in constructing marathon laughable agreements which do not need the presence of mediators like what is normally done in faulty political agreements. In the last bit of this, our local ladies also feel substituted by these exotic female colleagues because even the usual known committed man-friends are no longer to their casual role in happiness since they have circum to these new active detractors on the markets.
