I (The soul)

Life…

It begins with you. It’s all about you, but not really about you.

We, the humans, have a lot in common as much as we have disparities. The fact that we’re all disparate is what we all have in common. However, many still lack the understanding of their true purpose on earth.

I…a vowel or an alphabet, depending on what floats your boat, that carries more meaning than any human could ever feasibly fathom.

Most humans, often use it to inflate their abilities in pursuit of augmenting their egos, importance and whatever they feel like it will contribute chiefly to their confidence and self-esteem. Most would agree that it has more to do with self. It is the highest expression of self. It is more than a part of us. It is utterly us – but individually.

I have been perusing the idea of a preponderance of individuals who lack knowledge of themselves, but often boldly criticize the defects that are comprised by other humans. Hence, today the world consists of critics, judges, magistrates, prosecutors, gossip shows and all the people that invest their time and efforts perusing other people’s faults but theirs. It feels unfathomably therapeutic to the individuals who lack discernment, self-knowledge, self-awareness and all other aspects of self that make up a man. As time goes, an astounding lack of self-care, self-love, and the lack of the individuality of man is what manifests.

Materials have tardily subjugated the souls of humans in the past decade, to date. In these present times, materials have been deemed a quid pro quo for humanity and souls. We witness rappers, musicians, celebrities and public personalities who brag about the materials that their new found millions have rewarded them with, which is deemed a physical representation of success in our modern society. Very seldom, we find characters who are ubiquitous in Phil Farnsworth’s boxes teaching the young ones or the ones who desire to attain success about the benefits of investing in self and ameliorating the aspects of self, in lieu of perpetuating a culture of vaunting frivolous materials which will only achieve ephemeral existence. The ones who are receptive to the television shows that show the glamorous side of being a ubiquitous object in the limelight, are the ones who often get consumed by the blindness that self-consciousness and materials comprise while losing their own “I".

Make time with yourself to spend it with yourself, to explore your “I".

What do you see?

What do you stand for?

Do you own your “I"?

Above all, I am not perfect and I am learning…

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 and

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. Alcest

Dark.

“Dark” the total absorption of light nor utter absence of light; the most feared state. There are nyctophiles, also. It is quite kenspeckle that the hoi polloi had been programmed to associate dark or the darkness with only nefarious, uncongenial, evil things; the hilarious part is that this idea or thought was popularized by those who are subjectively attracted to the light or the white color. For centuries, we’ve seen and still see how the dark people and all other people were convinced that black or dark is the antonym of pulchritude. Credulous Africans, who lack self-knowledge, believed it. Hence, for decades, we’ve seen (and still do) dark people altering their pigment to be lighter, in lieu of dark. Most, claim it’s a decision they took, not out of self-contempt. But, change, inextricably makes the past existence of a substance nor image to often be treated with contempt, if not utter. If you take a good look at this “black" or “white" matter, you’d ascerta
