People always feel like they will be rewarded for living what they deemed to be a virtuous life, so they get upset when they see someone that’s lived a different life to theirs thrive. That’s the only explanation to the outrage around Faith Nketsi getting married.

Faith Nketsi lived one hell of a life. She is gorgeous, lived her 20s as a millionaire and has married the love of her life. This is proof that there's no recipe to life. Do your best and hope for the rest. Congratulations to her
