Life - Is it not fair?


“Life is not fair!” A preponderance of individuals, often utter those words when going through hardships, nor when they incur losses. This claim, if you thoroughly peruse it you’ll ascertain that it is being uttered in a subjective manner, most of the time. It is, usually being uttered by those who go through hardships. According to them, life is supposed to be an amusement park where everything denotes utter jubilation and tranquility.

What is fairness? 

The quality or state of being fair, according to Merriam Webster dictionary. According, to a preponderance of us, we are all supposed to share wealth nor be rich and be happy and attain peace. That’s the kind of woman who impels every present male to indulge in apodyopsis. A quintessence of paradise. 

Now, back to reality; life isn’t like that, unfortunately. We incur losses today, and accrue wealth tomorrow and attain sempiternal wealth nor vice versa. It all depends on us. Whatever happens, we should first approach a mirror to see the source of every result nor outcome of our current position in life. 

Are you happy with who you are?

This is not a “look at yourself in the mirror” type of question. Internally, are you satisfied? 

Above all, your soul nor spirit should be in harmony. Materials and all the frivolous things that people kill for, daily don’t satisfy one’s  soul nor spirit. Happiness is contingent upon your state of mind; not your bank balance, wardrobe nor the toys you have in your garage. We often hear people say they’d rather be miserable all their lives, as long as they have materials and money. Life is a food chain, some would say “the grass looks greener on the other side". What you have, others don’t have it and there’s a possibility that most of them wish they owned it; what you seek nor desire, that others have, there may be a possibility that they are treating it with utter contempt. Therefore, we still need to reassess ourselves and also scrutinize our respective definitions for “fairness". 

We are all humans; we inhale O2 and exhale CO2; we all bleed if we get cut; we all are mortal humans; we all are promised success if we work hard, sempiternally, even post attaining our goals nor fulfilling our objectives. We all cannot live nor move to the next level without communication. We all have 24 hours, each day to make a difference in our lives. We are all humans, irregardless of the race, age, financial status and all the other factors we use to label one another in order to further perpetuate segregation within our communities nor societies. The common denominator we have is that we are humans who are alive and who have brains, irregardless of whether you’re deemed able-bodied nor disabled. We’ve all once lost a loved one nor a non-human object we were emotionally attached to. We all go through problems which require us to have a profound conversation with our minds in order to aid us to provide solutions to advance from that stage of life. 

Is all that not fair?

We tend to subjectively compare ourselves to other people, which ends up consuming our souls and leaving us utterly unsatisfied. We are individuals. That means we were created to focus on our lives and solve every problem that arise along the odyssey of our lives. Not to concern ourselves with the neighbour’s life, unless they state otherwise. 

Life is fair! 

We all have problems, adversities, and all the things we deem bad. What makes life fair is that there is a solution for every problem. 

There’s a brighter morning, after a dark night. 

Life is fair. However, our agreement nor disagreement will be contingent upon how we perceive life nor where our main focus is directed to.

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

Dark.

“Dark” the total absorption of light nor utter absence of light; the most feared state. There are nyctophiles, also. It is quite kenspeckle that the hoi polloi had been programmed to associate dark or the darkness with only nefarious, uncongenial, evil things; the hilarious part is that this idea or thought was popularized by those who are subjectively attracted to the light or the white color. For centuries, we’ve seen and still see how the dark people and all other people were convinced that black or dark is the antonym of pulchritude. Credulous Africans, who lack self-knowledge, believed it. Hence, for decades, we’ve seen (and still do) dark people altering their pigment to be lighter, in lieu of dark. Most, claim it’s a decision they took, not out of self-contempt. But, change, inextricably makes the past existence of a substance nor image to often be treated with contempt, if not utter.  If you take a good look at this “black" or “white" matter, you’d ascerta
