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. 
Alcestis, also underwent a 3 day resurrection; however, immortality was never mentioned. In the bible, there are scriptures of Jesus resurrecting various people, such as the Lazarus of Bethany, and the daughter of Jairus, to name a few; Jesus, also authorised his twelve apostles to, inter alia, resurrect people. Apostle Paul, revived a man name Eutychus, who had fallen asleep and fell from a window to his death, and Saint Peter, resurrected a woman name Tabitha nor Dorcas…to name a few. The book of Revelations, also makes references about Judgement Day, where many will be raised from the dead. The resurrection of Jesus Christ, is deemed the central doctrine in Christianity.

The concept of resurrection seems to be enormously broad owing to how the scientists have also provided their own perspective of resurrection and also their theories of how resurrection can be achieved again, in future. Pseudoscience, introduced “Cryonics" which is defined as the low-temperature freezing a human corpse and a severed head, with the speculative hope that resurrection may he possible in the future. 

However, the reaction of the masses to this theory has been engulfed by subjective observations which impelled people to be sceptical about Cryonics. We’ve even seen fictional characters who perform what is deemed resurrection nor akin to resurrection, such as zombies nor Frankenstein, to name a few. This purely shows that different humans have different beliefs, understandings and perspectives about resurrection.

This concept should, mostly apply and achieve enormous relevance in our own lives by fulfilling the devout obligations of reviving ourselves and bringing out the excellence that reside within us, which had been muted nor assassinated by overthinking, negative thoughts, self-consciousness, ignorance, greed, envy, self-loathing and all kinds of unpleasant aspects of life that we often embrace, which have a detrimental effect on our minds and our lives. We need to revive that caring, empathetic, loving, understanding, inquisitive, objective, success-hungry individuals that have been assassinated by this fast paced world, which constantly bombards us with GMFs, CO2, more stress, more reasons not to love ourselves and another, more reasons to spend most our money on frivolous materials and all the spirit killers that exist.

Above all, we need to resurrect love and understanding; the lifespan of the world and life are contingent upon them.

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

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
