The Secret


“Blessed is the hand that gives, than the one that receives" the bible says, but how many of us in this world that is engulfed with greed, would agree to the verse nor the concept of giving sincerely without expecting anything in return? 

If we could delve deeper into the concept of life, we would truly ascertain that the secret of living a quality life is all hidden in mastering the art of giving. When you master the art of giving, life becomes more fulfilling and beautiful. The satisfaction that is subsequent to the act of giving, is enormously unfathomable. As humans, we were created to share the space we live in; planet Earth, that is. We were created to live together in peace and harmony, to give what we have and ask for what we don’t have. 

What went wrong?

Looking at the state that the world is currently in, one would come to an immediate realization that everything that occurs on this planet is, actually the utter opposite of what life was supposed to be. I do not doubt that someone can offer a lucid exegesis of the reason why the world is what it is today. Man contributed to this buffoonery, and man is the only one who can provide pertinent solutions to the predicament that has currently engulfed humanity. Too many questions, only a few or no answers at all. 

Not because the answers are not there, but because the greedy ones who are in possession of all the power, love seeing these ubiquitous question marks. It’s a great boon for them. This is where the art of giving, comes into place.

It is human nature to love gifts, nor people who often provide gifts. The part that we’re severely oblivious to, is that the recipient is the most vulnerable party in this equation. 

The giver, is not someone who necessarily loses by giving a piece of what they own; however, he is the one who gains power by acquiring the ability to tap into the child spirit, vulnerable part of the other human being who is the recipient of the gift, which is their soul. Your soul lights up when you receive a gift or when you’re being offered a gift, let alone a pleasant surprise. Therefore, you obliviously offer the giver a portion of your soul because a part of you becomes emotionally attached to the giver, owing to what they have offered you. The serotonin levels break the roof when your soul is engulfed with the emotions that receiving gifts comprises.

Being emotional, makes you vulnerable and naïve. Now, that’s where the giver acquires his power.

The same reason why old men own the young promiscuous women who offer their bodies for frivolous materials.

The giver is more powerful than the receiver, owing to his power to make the other party react. Showing emotion is a quintessence of reaction. Hence, science states that “for every action, there’s a reaction”. Every action’s eventuality, is a reaction; it’s an inextricable fact. To give, is to act; gratitude, is the subsequent reaction. Therefore, I believe the unfathomable power of giving that I’m trying to elucidate, should be utterly kenspeckle by now.

The power of giving, applies everywhere. In communication, it all starts with a “hi" from one person then the interlocutor will be obliged to react by either ignoring the other party’s attempt to develop rapport or achieve acquaintanceship, like most modern humans do, nor reply affably. To make people react, is the same as moving mountains…it’s power! 

The biggest calamity that seems to be tardily claiming so many individuals’ subconscious minds is the mentality of being devoutly entitled to receiving; the act of comfortably wearing the “victim” hat, which impels the idea that the world owes them. The art of giving is tardily losing its value due to modern humans’ lack of sincerity. A preponderance of humans' acts, as of late, aren’t engulfed with sincerity nor purity; however, their true intentions are to impress nor gain recognition, especially in social media. Humans are tardily losing their true identity…which is humanity.

The secret of life, is in the art of giving. The more you give, the more you prosper!

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 ...
