Utterly oblivious to the kenspeckle.


It is generally believed that normal humans should sleep for a minimum of 8 hours. In all honesty, it seems like a preponderance of humans are usually asleep every 24 hours they obtain. Hence, the government effortlessly deceives the general public while the masses believe that they are in possession of total power. 

What a calamity.

It seems the world comprises people who live to sleep but fear death. Why fear death if you live your life to the fullest?

A preponderance of individuals are devoted to their respective religions, others are devoted to their churches more than their spiritual beliefs. However, the part that utterly baffles nor flabbergasts me is the fact that they usually relax, even fall asleep and pay less attention to what’s being said during the sermon but would have their eyes wide open, shivering and praying earnestly when they find themselves being passengers in a vehicle that is being controlled by a reckless driver. 

Why is that so?

It is kenspeckle that humans aren’t as conscious as they claim to be. It seems like we’re a bunch of blind individuals, who have been lulled with the false idea of consciousness. We have no control over our minds, in fact we always involuntarily offer others the power that we should keep for ourselves. Yup! Involuntarily, because the life of being mentally enslaved has obtained a hold in our subconscious minds. We are controlled by every puny human and every puny matter that exists, yet we constantly claim our dubious freedom. If we’re not being controlled by other mortal humans’ perception, then it’s our detrimental thoughts and emotions; if we’re not being controlled by our generally accepted mystical beliefs, popularly known as religion, then it’s the unscrupulous government that we trust with our lives. 

Everything is in front of us, yet we are still severely oblivious to what our sole focus should be. We have dreams that we need to achieve, we know what we need to do to ensure that those dreams nor goals manifest but we eschew execution. 

Why waste the effort in thinking about what you won’t even invest 1% of your effort in executing it?

Why?

We invest most of our efforts in attaining frivolities in order to fit in the puzzle of mediocrity where the general population often resides. We have become so afraid of standing out from the masses, simply to eschew being misunderstood, judged, lambasted nor abhorred. In all honesty, that is utter insanity because we all see how no one speaks ill of the deceased on their funeral. No matter how much people hate you nor dislike you, but their behaviour alters as soon as they learn that you have become a cadaver. This should feasibly elucidate the fact that it is enormously incumbent upon us to live our lives in accordance with our values, as long as they do not possess the potential to detriment others. Whoever decides to hate should be offered a full opportunity to waste their time in that frivolous activity. 

In life, knowledge alone is not sufficient…understanding is where the true power of knowledge resides. Let us invest our time in seeking understanding, in lieu of hating nor disliking what we lack understanding of.

The world needs love; an utterly conspicuous fact. However, ego plays a chief role in making us oblivious to that fact.

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
