The Light

The first idea that lights up one’s thought bulb when this subject is being raised, is brightness; but does anyone apply an objective eye when perusing this subject? The light, just like a ladder, knowledge, money, knife etc. Is a tool, and its use is contingent upon the beholder nor observer. 

The light may either exude lucidity or blind you.

We, as disparate humans, utilize light for various purposes; those purposes are contingent upon the desires nor devout objectives of the beholder. A preponderance of individuals offer various exegesis which they deem fit; others believe sinners abhor light, while the flawless souls vaunt not exalt the power of light. The concept of light is enormously extensive than one may fathom nor anticipate. If we delve, maybe the possibility of being victims of light might be severe. Even better, others may not be distracted nor their focus be deviated from the inextricable fact that light is a tool.

The vaunted scientists and philosophers who have lived under the sun have also vocalized their discoveries and devout beliefs about their ideas of the light; others have even concluded that light possess a tremendously swift motion than any mortal man can fathom. How fascinating. The inquisitiveness that ruled the lives of these legends is what complements the purposeful lives they’ve lived. A wise man, once said “we only see what we know". The irony here is that the general population recklessly associates knowledge with seeing. A calamity, indeed. It is colossally erroneous for one to adopt this kind of mentality when “perception of reality” is one of the tools that’s being regularly utilized to fleece those who are bound to this belief. 

One’s life is in the mind, not in the eye.

The speed of light is faster than a lot of swiftly moving objects you fan think of, which contributes chiefly to the deceit and fleecing that often takes place in our world. 

The calamity is that people believe what they see, not what they have thoroughly perused. 

Hence, the wise often utter “your life, is a result of the quality of your thoughts” nor “What a man thinks, he becomes”. Therefore, the physical world is not our true reality; the mental and spiritual worlds are.

Light is power!

Those who possess power, use it for different reasons. Politicians use their light to blind the masses who are in the dark, while contemporaneously lulling them into believing that they’re providing lucidity. 

Parents, not all, use their light to help their offspring get a lucid view of their odyssey to the future. This elucidates how a light, like any other tool, can be utilized in various ways for various reasons by individuals who have disparate intentions. Everyone has the light, but not everyone has that knowledge. It’s like having a candle and a box of matches, but still live in the dark owing to the lack of knowledge of how these tools work or the purpose of their existence. What a calamity!

You have the light! How you use it, is your sole responsibility…

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
