The Luncheon


The most convenient time for humans to ameliorate their social lives…well, not all of them. The only meal of the day that you can partake anywhere you like and with whoever you want to. The sun is up there, unless it’s a cloudy, foggy day, nor shower day. But, the point is that it is generally believed to be partook at the middle of the day and beyond, as far as the clock watch is concerned.

Lunch is, indubitably the most enjoyable meal of the day which we can spend with or without family. Food complements the concept of lunch. Therefore, with this peace I intend to elucidate the significance of consumption. The quality of our lives is contingent upon what we consume. 

Consumption is more extensive than one can possibly anticipate nor fathom. Your environment, amalgamation, what you often see nor hear; consumption is not solely focused on food for stomach. It takes a lot to make an individual. A man is beyond what meets the eye. Hence, the wise often refer to wisdom nor profound knowledge as “food for thought”.

It is enormously incumbent upon us to make learning a chief part of our lives. We all know that it’s not a symbol of good manners to open your mouth while you’re chewing nor swallowing. Therefore, the first step to take in order to effectively receive food is to close your mouth. This, simply means you have to put your speaking skills to rest and ameliorate your listening skills by putting them to use, if you seek to receive food nor learn knowledge that’ll keep your mental stomach full for the rest of the time you live in this world. A few simple rules are required of us in order for the universe to offer us the lunch to keep us going through the days of our lives. We need to listen more, be more receptive, talk less, react less and mostly seek to achieve understanding nor a clear exegesis in every interaction. We need to reprogram our minds to see every interlocutor that life offers to us, as a pot nor bowl filled with a nutritious meal that our souls are in dire need of because, the honest truth is that we learn more from each other than we do from books and motion pictures. In a sense, I’m contradicting myself because books and motion pictures are created by humans. Therefore, we are more connected to one another than we think and we feed each other irregardless of whether we interact or not.

Our hunger and fulfilment are solely contingent upon us, and no other mortal human besides us. Before we can be able to consume, we need to  make it a devout obligation to reprogram our subconscious minds. 

We need to emancipate ourselves from the chains of false pride and ego, and start to grow more affable and receptive towards one another because if we eschew communicating with each other, then who do we seek to employ as our interlocutors?

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 ...
