After all, it's all me...

Blame game leaves so many names in shame, irregardless of whether they are guilty or not. 

What’s blocking my success? Is it my high school teacher who told me that I would be nothing but a piece of shit, in life? Is it the high school bully who usurped the ownership of my subconscious mind by embedding the idea which convinces me that I’m nothing but a worthless piece of shit? Is my absent father the reason why I indulge in laying my hands, vehemently, on women? Is my alcoholic, promiscuous mother the reason why I pursued the life of promiscuity in exchange for financial gain? Is my impoverished family the reason why I did not get enough opportunities to be successful, in life?
So many questions, even statements to justify or defend our current state or situation. One thing that every living human being has in common, is problems. 

Musicians and influential people may insist that they don’t have any problems or worries, mostly, to deceive those whom they suspect to be envious of their success, milestones or whatever may be the case. Alcohol – almost every human being’s favorite drink for social occasions, some partake liquid courage on a daily basis.  This elucidates the dire need for happiness and, in every way possible, to eschew problems, pain and misery; oddly, we most likely end up back to the prisons we were investing our efforts to escape and a contemporaneous adjudication which deem them futile. “If my parents afforded to take me to a multiracial school, I would’ve been able to get quality education.” Taking full responsibility for the precedent outcome is an option we all wish to transfer to a second party, like the insurers; hence blaming other individuals becomes the first idea they execute while exploring ways to conquer their challenges.

The order of the world is a quintessence of disorder. What a paradox! The good die young, the bad live longer. What we often believe. In life, we have people we’ve hurt, and also the ones who’ve hurt us. Both the former and latter’s usual first reaction is to seek revenge to make their offenders experience the same pain they went through, subsequent to their offenders’ actions. If you look at it subjectively, you’d conjecture that revenge would be the most therapeutic action in such situations. However, irregardless of the magnitude of their sins but we, the offended, are in charge of how their precedent actions make us feel. We control how we feel or, rather, our subconscious minds are in charge of the within that results in the without. Most of us, when we’re angry we find ourselves involuntarily doing actions that we end up regretting the subsequent outcome. Who do we blame? The people who’ve hurt us? Our subconscious minds, which controlled how we reacted to those situations? Who should be deemed guilty, besides us? 

“I ain’t a killer but don’t push me…” words we often hear from our favorite rap artists. Owing to their influence on us we embrace their words, even worse, those words become embedded in our subconscious minds and we end up developing the mentality of blaming others for the way we react towards them.

The inextricable truth is that we are fully in charge of how we think and react. Hence, wise men often utter “master your mind and everything is possible”. Your happiness, anger and everything that makes you the author of any action that results from being impelled by your subconscious mind is your full responsibility, not the third party's…

After all, it’s all me.

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 ...
