Why are we here?


The world is filled with billions of individuals, who were all born to fulfill their respective purposes nor create nor play a role in making the world a better place nor a querencia for the next generations. Everyone who still has the ability to inhale oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide, is obliged to make a positive impact nor difference within society, and the world. However, many people aren’t working towards fulfilling their obligations, hence, the world and humanity are engulfed by so much turmoil.

Ignorance nor lack of knowledge, are the quintessence of bliss. Look at children. They are filled with inquisitiveness, they too, have problems nor come across obstacles in their lives. There’s no legal age for a human to have obstacles nor go through hardships. By crying, a child is vocalizing the problem nor problems that need to be resolved. The world is messed up nor fucked up, as we all utter in accordance with our disparate preference for usage of words; however, the point is, we all agree that the world is messed up, but the part that seems to utterly perplex the hoi polloi nor a preponderance of us, is the fact that more humans are still being born and brought to this world despite its state. 

Why?

They say God loves us, right? Therefore, why would he bring us to a place where we’ll suffer and why is he even bringing us here if we’re going to die, anyway?

King Shaka Zulu's name is still relevant today, Bantu Biko’s name is still relevant today, Samora Machel's name is still relevant today, Mansa Musa's name is still relevant today, Bhambatha kaMancinza's name is still relevant today, Queen Nzinga Mbandi's name is still relevant today, Tsietsi Mashinini's name is still relevant today, Bra Hugh Masekela’s name is still relevant today, Brenda Fassie’s name is still relevant today, etc. By this, I intend to emphasize the might of purpose. All these colossal figures I’ve mentioned, have a few things in common, they’ve passed on a long time ago and they were famous for doing amazing things, under different categories, of course. We all remember them today because of the enormous impact that their actions produced while they were still on earth. The whole idea of being alive and being mortal is not frivolous; believe me, you, it is not. The reason why you are alive, is to get an opportunity to leave a legacy that will achieve immortality in this physical world. We are spirits living inside physical bodies. Hence, the body age but the mind and the heart achieve sempiternal youth. 

Why are we here?

What makes us unique?

Is your presence as impactful as your absence?

Albeit they will find someone to fill your position in your absence, but what is it that will make your absence enormously felt, irregardless?

In this life, we have a devout obligation, irregardless of all the factors we use to perpetuate segregation. Everyone has a purpose to fulfil, and the only time we have is now, because life is too volatile to procrastinate.

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 ...
