Green faced creatures


I believe every human being has been to a situation whereby the one next to them achieves more than them or does better than them. Even worse, the person next to you receiving all the compliments from everyone in the room, while they treat you as if you are utterly invisible or your efforts were nothing but utter frivolous.

It’s human nature to develop strong feelings of being entitled to receiving acknowledgement nor recognition for your good deeds or progress or success. 

However, not receiving acknowledgement nor compliments from those we’re trying to prove ourselves to nor impress, we tend to react in an emotional manner; what’s even worse, is witnessing the next person being immersed in, or being showered with compliments while we get none, irregardless of the effort we’ve invested. The ugliness behind expectations. Disappointments are experienced nor felt by those who have enormous expectations of the other party nor their interlocutor. 

The birth of jealousy and other uncongenial emotions.

Today, we have people who kill, betray, bewitch and do all kinds of things you can imagine to bring others down owing to the strong feelings nor emotions of greed, jealousy and envy. Hate is not natural, it is something we learn. The same goes with our faces; nobody was born with a green face. 

However, what can be learned, can be unlearned. The same effort we use to hate, should be superseded by the feelings of love. 

We should counter act these feelings with love. We must make it our devout beliefs and obligations to perpetuate love and happiness because the world needs those qualities. The world, as of late, has not been an ideal querencia for most of us; therefore, love is the only mindset that we must develop in order to be able to circumvent all this evil and uncongenial actions that engulf our lives. 

Why is it hard to compliment our fellows, sincerely, without even developing the thought of feeling like we’re going backwards when others are progressing?

We need to develop the anti-negativity 
mindset. We need to focus more on learning from other people’s progress nor success. 

Everyone, will be successful…an inextricable fact. However, not everyone will be successful because not everyone invests the required effort in altering our dreams into reality; instead, most of us invest that time augmenting our jealousy, greed, envy and hate. We need not to be oblivious to the fact that we all need to occupy our own lanes, but contemporaneously eschewing segregation. 

Love is all we need to perpetuate. We should ameliorate our communication skills because through communicating effectively, we’ll be able to express ourselves effectively and we will achieve understanding of why we carry disparate qualities, and that is when we’ll finally experience an epiphany of the indubitable importance nor power of love and understanding. Understanding is what we should seek in lieu of rapid reaction. Only with love we shall achieve understanding, because it is enormously impossible to be receptive when you lack love.

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

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
