VALUES VERSUS REALITY

Hello folks and welcome to another time with yours truly. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart that you have taken the time from your busy schedule to read my articles. Today, I want to write about societal values and the reality of our society. We live in a world where we are told as children not to do certain things and when we grow up some of us eventually do those things we were told not to do, end up regretting it and tell our children not to make the same mistakes they made. It all feels like a giant cosmic loop.

WHAT MAKES A FATHER

Hello once again, sorry about being late for this Father’s day piece but I want to write something about this special day. I want to dedicate this piece to my father. So many people are not fortunate to have a father due to circumstances beyond their control; for that I offer my condolences. Last year, I wrote a piece concerning Father’s Day titled, Evolution from Boyhood to Manhood . Check it out.

SELF HURT

Hello folks, I am glad you have taken the time out of your busy schedule to read my article. Today I want to write about Self Hurt or Self Infliction of pain. This article is more of a continuation of my previous article titled THE SLOW POISON . I sincerely hope that my point of view about this topic will make a huge difference in your life. I have watched a lot of movies and seen a lot of people who have given themselves to self pain to get rid of the pain caused by circumstances or someone. This is one of the natural human responses to internal pain; we try to replace internal pain with external pain hoping that they will cancel each other out. But I am here to tell you that pain (internal and external) will not make you feel better about your condition.

WHY AM I WHAT I AM

Hello people, welcome once again to another beautiful day. First of all thanks for clicking on this link and viewing this article. Please take your time to review other articles I have written on this blog and let me know what you think on the comment section. Today I want to write about this sensitive question that I ask myself sometimes. “Why am I what I am?” I am sure you have asked this question at least once in your life. The simple answer is, I am what I am because that is who I am. I will try to keep this article short and simple. Life itself is in stages. You are born, you learn to walk speak and think. Later on, you are educated by both secular (Primary, secondary and Tertiary education), Spiritual (Christian, Muslim and other traditions) and Societal education. These stages of education whether you know it or not, make up who you are as an individual. But please take note that despite what you learn from society, the main component that makes you who you are is d...

THE SLOW POISON

Hello once again and welcome to another time with me and my crazy thoughts. Today I want to write about a poison that kills faster than cyanide and slower than Thallium. That poison is called UNFORGIVENESS. I am sure you might be reading this and saying this guy is here again with his “moralistic crap” but please bear with me as you read this piece. Have you ever thought of killing someone who has offended you? Have you ever thought of getting even with that boyfriend/girlfriend who promised you FOREVER and now it is “For-NEVER”? Well, I want to tell you that you are killing yourself and no one is worth it. Un-forgiveness can be likened to corrosive acid in a metal barrel. It does not immediately chip away the metal but with time, it not only chips away the barrel but also other factors like rust set in, rendering the barrel useless.
