Misery to the people...power from the people

We often hear unscrupulous politicians yelling “power to the people” just to fleece and usurp the people’s power. It’s a norm, in our society. We see it, but would rather succumb to them and still yell “Amandla! Awethu!” (The power is ours) while we are utterly oblivious to the fact that the opposite is actually true. It's consanguineous to falsely convincing your subconscious mind that you control Phil Farnsworth's box because you are in possession of the remote control.

To rule the people, means you must strive to attain ownership of their minds. This world is dominated by people who are dictated by the conjectural belief that they are in power when the ugly truth remains fixed that they aren’t. 

The civilians complain about a lot of things that aren’t going right in their lives or within their communities, and they often blame the government. Most rebel or protest to exercise their dubious power in order to attain the government’s attention to open room for demands. Don’t get me wrong, everybody has their own favourable method when it comes to seeking or attempting to acquire attention. 

The government, often lull the protestors with the idea that their voices are heard and everything will change. He will, then proceed to do a few good things in order to make them comfortable and forget about protesting. The one who attacks first is not always the one who possesses true power, but the one who uses conciliation to retaliate is insidious because he who becomes unpredictable; and the most unpredictable opponent is the most powerful and dangerous. Those who have been convinced that they’re in power, live in uncongenial conditions with the sempiternal hope of things to change for the better. The people are engulfed with misery, yet they give away their power every time they’re given the chance to put the leader of their choice in power. The government doesn’t even need to forcefully usurp power from the people, thanks to social engineering. They only need to say the right things to the credulous voters and the magic happens. 

Power is not something that you just pick from the tree like fruits, you have to scrutinize people’s comfort zones and weak points; with that knowledge and a carefully designed plan to attain power, you will attain dominion overnight. The same mental strategy that the unscrupulous politicians utilize. The best way to attain power is to act powerless and convince your interlocutors or opponents that they have more power compared to you, that way you make them relax thinking they possess more power than they actually have. Put the enemy on a pedestal, and you’ll easily bring them down. 

The people are lulled with the idea that they have power to decide what is right and what is not for their nation, yet they don’t own their justice system, education system, health care system, and their minds too. All that belongs to the ones you gave your votes and trust to. 

The people still live in uncongenial conditions, with poor health care and education. The truth is inconspicuous…

The truth is, misery is given to the people…and power is taken from the people.

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 ...
