The responsibility. 


It takes two to make a child, but more than two to raise a child. What's a community without children and the youth? Which means children see elders or adults as their heroes, therefore the development of their subconscious minds depend on the words and actions of the adults around them.

Today, we have rapists, murderers, thieves, pastors, presidents, artists etc. Every person that exists on this earth, is what they are because of the events that occured in the duration of their respective childhoods. As humans, we become what we see. The environment and amalgamation, are also great contributors to the growth or mentality of an entity. Ecclesiastes 1:9-11 states: What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun. Therefore, teenage pregnancy, incestual pregnancy and relationships, disrespecting elders and all the corruption that we witness today is not new. Our biggest fear is seeing the younger generation repeating the mistakes of the older generation, yet the older generation keeps repeating those mistakes while the young ones become witnesses. And the eventuality, is history reincarnated. As humans, our duty is that each of us play a role in ensuring that the world is a better place for the generation after us, and beyond. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same objective, hence the world is still what it is. For every adult or young adult, there's a child who's looking up to them and obviously copying every action and words that are often spoken by adults, whether they're are offensive or profound, the child doesn't know. All they know is that it's what they need for their subconscious minds to develop.

Notice how influential musicians are to the youth. If they sing about how great it is to consume codeine and drugs, the youth will commence the consumption of detrimental drugs while being oblivious to how detrimental they are to their health. Musicians, sing about promiscuity and obliviously perpetuate the culture of addressing the women as bitches. The children and the youth are consanguineous to water. They're still pure and looking for concentrated components to dilute. Therefore, anything that sounds and looks appealing to them will effortlessly possess their undivided attention, owing to how swiftly sound and light moves. We as the people, should perpetuate the culture of emanating love and respect within our communities in order for the younger generation's subconscious minds to be filled with positive matter. Most of the murderers, abusive men and rapists don't even love what they do but their subconscious minds is what drives them, the same way a preponderance of Africans deem sempiternal employment mandatory-It's how powerful the subconscious mind is. In most African households, age restrictions are neglected when it comes to television shows. They watch every show that airs on television as a family. Children as young as 9 to 13 are already exposed to shows that are supposed to be watched by viewers who are 16 years upwards or whatever age restriction that's deemed suitable. The famous aphorism states "The grass looks greener on the other side", hence sex scenes, profanity and violent acts obtains a hold in the subconscious minds of the young ones. "Adults are having a ball" they think to themselves. They start adopting such lifestyles in real life, and the eventuality is a new generation of prostitutes, rapists, murderers and they do all the nefarious acts they witnessed from the prime time and midnight shows.

Your existence in this world is a responsibility, which is a fact that most of us are oblivious to. We live blindly, while carrying the false belief of being conscious about the world we live in. Your existence means that you owe the world you live in, you owe the universe, you owe the younger generation, mostly you owe the inner child that keeps screaming "go get your dreams". If we could adopt the mentality of seeing life as a responsibility and also seeing life as a debt, a revolution would take place overnight. More people would realize their purpose and the power of their contribution to this earth. More people would quit perpetuating toxic behavior, and positivity would be spread across the same way Caucasians spread HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Always be mindful of your actions, for someone is looking up to you. You don't have to be a celebrity or a Billionaire in order to be someone's idol. You don't have to be a parent in order to learn to be responsible. We should treat responsibility as if it's oxygen to us, and also treat the younger generation as if they're the trees who need our carbon dioxide because they're the ones who will offer us the fruits later on, in life. Life, is responsibility. Live responsibly, always.

The objects of fear

The great Bantu Biko , once said that fear is an important determinant in South African politics. In fact, that’s what all governments use to contain the civilians. Fear, is not the power that one attains, but the power that he is given by the ones who fear him.  Allow me, to quote the legendary Biko: “It is a fear so basic in the considered actions of black people as to make it impossible for them to behave like people---let alone free people.” “One must not underestimate the deeply imbedded fear of the black man so prevalent in white society. Whites know only too well what exactly they have been doing to blacks and logically find reason for the black man to be angry. Their state of insecurity however does not outweigh their greed for power and wealth, hence they brace themselves to react against this rage rather than to dispel it with open-mindedness and fair play.” “It sometimes looks obvious here that the great plan is to keep the black people thoroughly intimidated...

Resurrection

Christians would think of Jesus, first, when this word is being mentioned. According to Merriam Webster dictionary, it is the rising again of all the human dead before the final judgment; or the state of one risen from the dead. It is, simply, about revival nor the process of renewal. In Christianity, Jesus Christ was crucified and resurrected on the third day. In the African culture, resurrection comprises a nexus with ancestors nor the ones who are considered deceased or late, on earth, like Christ. We may find resurrection being elucidated in a variety of ways from disparate perspectives and, mostly from religious perspectives. In the ancient Greek religion, there are many instances where the concept of resurrection gains enormous relevance. Memnon, who was killed by Achilles, was resurrected.  Achilles, after being killed, was resurrected by his mother, Thetis. Asclepius, was resurrected and altered into a more colossal deity, subsequent to being killed by Zeus....

Not free as a bird.

Perception of reality is, often deemed realer than reality itself. "I want to be as free as a bird." a cliché that feels new, everytime it's being uttered or when our auditory tools cross paths with this ancient, yet immortal utterance. "The other side of the grass looks greener" another famous aphorism, but I prefer Marc and Angel's quote "If the grass looks greener on the other side, it might be life reminding you to water the grass you're standing on." Who came up with this idea that birds are free? Or, maybe an idealist looked at how birds look stress-free and he thought to himself that they're even able to effortlessly flee from their problems, without realizing that the bird has their own adversities. Imagine being a bird and you haven't been finding any worms to feed your offspring, and if you do you have to battle other birds you cross paths with on your way back to the nest, and you still have to stress about eagles who ...
