In life, we may work the same job, earn the same or even spend the same way. Our unique attributes will still tell us apart.
Just like every living being is unique, so are the lifestyles we each lead suited to our individual attributes.
Take consideration of a lecture, every individual in attendance will have a different interpretation of the same information passed on in the same space and at the same time this defining the difference in results in case they each have the same assessment.
Someone shall ultimately be more prominent, wealthy, more rich or a combination of any two or more while some one will some how seem never to have enough all through life, someone will require support from those that have or claim to have. This phenomenon has and will forever define mankind.
We all are fortunate to have 10 fingers some may have more or less as fate may have dedicated. However, just like they are not the same in structuring and function yet belong to the same palm, they each have different function yet non does function by itself.
Pointing any of them at anybody neither makes them better nor changes their situation.
Standing to support rather than point a finger on the other hand does always have impact. Fortune and being fortunate maybe through luck or gamble does not make anybody the best planner or investor thus the best form of gratitude is by standing with those that are less fortunate.
Until we realise that somebody once stood in our place and was maybe disrespectful and that’s how they remained just like anybody and are no more, then maybe we can learn that we are what we are unique in every way yet so much alike for a profound reason.
The life one leads just like a leaf on a tree may seem detached from that of any other being as one is unique just to themselves, this doesn’t spell out separation as seemingly but rather a reason since all leaves on a tree nourish not only them selves but the tree down to the roots then the entire Eco system.
Thus let not the sprouting leaf laugh at the one that’s withering as its from the effort of the later that the former is and in just a matter of time, new leaves shall sprout and the former shall wither, dry up and fall just like all before it.
Truth remains and so does a true legacy. “people may never remember what you ssaidaid or did but will forever remember how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou.
You are the best version of you just like everyone is of themselves. Monkeys are unbeatable at tree climbing and swinging just like fish are in water. Would you not find it absurd to find one rating a monkeys performance to its inability to beat the fish in the water or vice-vasa?
Certainly this is how insane we have chosen to become comparing and competing instead of complementing each other and harnessing the great rewards of a concerted effort.
“No one is too poor that they have nothing to give and none is too rich that they need nothing.” As paraphrased a quote by Pope John Paul II
We are as strong as the bond we share like a bunch of thread makes a strong rope.
You will always find a story of weakness behind every wall. The height, thickness, strength, beauty and above all the cost of the wall does not make this weakness go away however tearing it down and finding or lending a shoulder does. Finding a permanent solution to a temporary problem does not stop it from reoccurring rather solving a problem as it is does occur fully solve it.
Truth is in life, nothing really beats being Honest about who you are and what you need. Keeping the statement as stated and not stating honesty over need or the reverse like society as priced life and turned it into a money hunting spree.
Unlike today, hunters would go hunt and return home with or without game however, the money hunters set off never to rest until they ‘find’ what they cannot find forgetting the true reason it all started.
Are we hunting so we can boast?
Are we hunting so we can build much better, bigger, taller and stronger walls?
The answer is in the basics. Lets get back to them
I’m definitely good at so much just like you are so good at so much. Are we not better-off working for a universal reason rather than a personal objective?
Lets look around us?
We are only as rich as those around us.
Lately, we opt to find safety in high walls, body guards and weapons not withstanding the fact that this is further more keeping us away from the dear ones that ought to surround us, the many that look up to us those we know and those we cannot claim to know.
We are so effective at protecting what we have achieved even from the very ones that accorded us these achievements or those for whom we achieve friends and family alike.
Many are held back by the bureaucracies most of us fancy but those that have to go through the process.
We have closed our eyes to the fact that we are leaving in an era where money is as a god. A want and a need can hardly be told apart;
A time when honesty is considered rude, a compliment down graded to flattery.
Family and fate have been sacrificed for fame.
Love like business is traded with the one with the best financial offer or better said, one with much more to loose in the event of a breakup.
For this reason, marriage is rather a contract with retirement benefits not a commitment made with a vow till one’s last breath some always on their look out for who is next in line.
In this era, all systems favour red-tape intended to benefit them that effect it rather than the thinker, the hard worker, the toiler, the first person, call them 'the slave.’
On whose sweat and blood empires stand firm in great and lasting splendour.
Lately its easier to point a finger some to the past when we fail to find anyone to blame presently this without notice that responsibility and accountability are smoothly sliding out of our grasp.
Parents find it easier to blame society and school for the moral decay in their children like there’s an academic curriculum teaching write from wrong. Maybe soon tuition shall be paid for a ‘Major in Common sense (Hons BA. CSns).’
Been to places where children are more fond and would rather the nannie to the bosses (parents) for more reasons than one. Not withstanding their choice of prioritising money hunting to family.
With expectations raised up to the moon, success takes the shape of a handsome, tall and well built package that anyone not with it is likely doomed unless they prove otherwise.
Celebrity is a career with no prequalification but some attitude, a social media account, fingers and eyes that can make you a tabloid story or some gossip.
What happened to the days when thinkers where paid to think. Everything made public seemed well thought through let alone currency being backed by known reserves.
Music and poetry had a lasting appeal and every man that stood did stand for value not fame.
Our eyes are systematically being closed to those that are dear to us and our attention is rather to those that fight through the barriers we are having around us.
How many have had their followers by their death bed, or through those moments we look back to and shade a cold tear?
Are we achieving so much and loosing what is most important at the same time?
Are we focused so much on opinion polls yet loosing on every front common to us?
Are we paying much more for what we already have or too little for what we see in others yet not just discovered in our very selves?
Are we surrounding ourselves with flowers with beautiful petals but thorny stalks?
When did the shift begin?
are we not overlooking the facts of a great future having been then and we can indeed pick the best from then to build a better now for the best tomorrow...
