Ornery, the modern day affable.


In this modern world nor life of continually updated technology and rife segregation, being ornery is the coin of the realm in what we deem reality. Simply, it is deemed a norm to frown nor express any signs of being ornery. However, to be an optimist nor blatantly show any signs of jubilation is deemed a blasphemy by those whose idea of normal is a frowning face.

Such mentality makes one uncertain whether it is being perpetuated deliberately nor humans are tardily becoming blind, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. As of late, you often hear people saying they hate humans nor they enjoy being alone nor far away from humans. It seems being anti-social is becoming a norm nor the coin of the realm in the world of “cool people”. To me, that is utterly an antonym of cool. There’s nothing cool about utter isolation nor segregation because it contributes to stagnancy. 
Who authored this idea of vaunting those who take pride in exuding an aggressive demeanour in order to non-verbally demand respect nor attempt to strike fear in the hearts of their interlocutors nor potential interlocutors. It seems our generation is tardily losing the most important skill that every human being must possess, which is effective communication; without effective communication, segregation, quarrels and all kinds of misunderstandings will be a norm. 

What is it that went wrong with our generation?

It seems like almost everything is conditional, these days. Before someone becomes receptive to a stranger, they need to check any possible signs of absence of being broke. If you appear like a man who exudes insufficiency, then you will never be given a chance to develop rapport or you get deprived of an opportunity to create an acquaintance, due to the ego that has engulfed people’s minds. This mindset has even contributed chiefly to the segregation of the sexes in black communities. Women who cannot make their own money nor who are not financially independent, do not want men who are in the same economic nor financial state. It’s tremendously hilarious and utterly perplexing, in all honesty. 

Our people are blinded by money and materials that they no longer show a smile nor be receptive to their interlocutor unless the interlocutors possess such materials which are deemed appealing to them. This culture of seeing being ornery as a generally accepted way of living with other humans, is really tardily bringing our nation to a state of stagnancy. 

The way I see it, the most colossal inconspicuous calamity of our generation is that it comprises, mostly of people who are quick to react but slow to understand. Hence, modern humans are able to dislike something nor someone before they even get a chance to interact or achieve an understanding.

Let us fight this mindset of segregation that is being perpetuated by those who want to control our population and our minds.

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
