I
was watching Ghana Television (GTV; probably the worst station in
recorded time) about a week ago when I saw Nurses on what was
supposed to be an awareness march of some kind. They held placards
that carried different messages. I was totally scandalized when I
read the placard of the lead nurse. It read, “BREAST IS FOR BABIES
NOT HUSBANDS”! I was shocked that authorities could allow this
falsehood to be preached. When I pointed out that this was obviously
wrong, I was met with strong resistance from a section of the public.
I therefore decided to write this article to clear any lingering
doubts.
For
my source of reference I chose the one book majority of people are
reluctant to challenge; The Holy Bible. I chose to make most of my arguments from the books written by the one who is regarded as the wisest man who
ever lived; King Solomon. 1 Kings 4: 29-34 describes the full extent
of Solomon’s wisdom.
King
Solomon the Wise man that that he was left clues in his the three
books that are attributed to him (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Songs of
Solomon). In these books it is possible to deduce correctly who these
beautiful orbs belong to.
First
of all I would boldly state that these beautiful Orbs were created by
a certain perfectionist we all love to call God. They are not the
result of some random set of inexplicable coincidences. Man’s
fascinations with these Orbs are not recent. Long ago Wise King Solomon
paid glowing tributes to them. These tributes were deemed fit to be
added to the Bible by theologians and Biblical scholars who
translated and decided upon which books should make up this most holy
of books.
In
Song of Solomon 4:5
Your
two Breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle among
the lilies.
Song
of Solomon 7:3
Your
breasts are like two fawn, twins of a gazelle.
Song
of Solomon 7:7
Your
stature is like that of the palm, and your breasts like cluster of
fruit.
Song
of Solomon 7:8
I
said, “I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit”.
May your breast be like the cluster of vine, the fragrance of your
breath like apples
From
these verses we notice that Breasts are described as gazelles, fruits
and vines. Gazelles because of the grace and beauty they possess and
vine because of their wonderfully intoxicating effects. These are
obviously feeling that babies cannot experience. Vines are fruits
that are sucked with great meditation which is in sharp contrast to
the greedy approach babies have toward these objects of beauty.
Isaiah
66:11
“That
you may nurse and be satisfied with her comforting breasts, That you
may suck and be delighted with her bountiful bosom."
In
the verse above, the Bible clearly states that a woman's breast is a
great source of comfort and admonishes men to suck them and gain
great joy. The Bible particularly supports the sucking of 'bountiful'
breasts.
In
Proverbs 5: 17-19
17
– they are yours alone, never to be shared with strangers.
18
– may your FOUNTAIN be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of
your youth.
19
– a loving doe, a graceful deer, MAY HER BREAST SATISFY YOU ALWAYS,
may you ever be captivated by her love.
These
verses are quite self explanatory. The Bible admonishes men to
zealously guard and protect what is rightfully theirs, never to share
them with stranger. Verse 19 is of uttermost importance. “MAY HER
BREAST SATISFY YOU ALWAYS”, these words of wisdom say it all.
Out
of the kindness of our hearts we men allow babies to use what is
rightfully ours for a period. This should not be mistaken for a gift.
It’s a loan which we take back when the time is right.
The
Bible further says that women whose breasts are not well formed have
difficulty getting men to marry.
In
Songs of Solomon 8:8
We
have a young sister whose breasts are not yet grown, what shall we do
if she is to be spoken for (engaged)
The
young sister in the passage is obviously matured enough for them to
be considering her engagement. Her siblings are however quite worried
because she has small breast for her age. This means men wouldn’t
be attracted to her. This is a problem so serious they have to start
thinking of a plan before the day arrives.
With
all these points I believe I have proved beyond all reasonable and
unreasonable doubts that the breasts of a woman are the bona fide
property of her man. He may choose to lend them to a baby for a while
but this doesn’t mean he forfeits ownership.
