The Love


Whenever the word love is being uttered, the first idea that pops up in the hoi polloi’s thought bulbs is romantic relationships, nor anything that comprises romance and intimacy. I stand tall in being corrected. 

The more we grow up, the more our perspective of the world nor life,  changes drastically. It’s as if, every 24-hours brings tremendous changes. Change is scary. An irrefutable fact. However, the idea of mystery is what makes change and the future to be so exciting; mystery, is contemporaneously scary and exciting. It’s consanguineous to watching a horror movie in a dark room. 

Whether we devoutly refute change nor the future due to being overly comfortable in the current position we’ve occupied for an elongated period; saying goodbye, is an inevitable event that we often choose to eschew, in lieu of preparing for it. With the presence of proper preparation, the probability of succeeding is higher. I stand tall in being corrected.

Love is one of the words that are utterly simple to utter, but harder to actually perform. Love is a verb; actually, it depends on which part of the table are you sitting at. 

However, the biggest mistake that a preponderance of human beings make is confusing love with emotional attachment. Where love is present, emotional attachment seems to be inextricable. Love is a powerful energy, hence, it often confuses us a lot. 

Emotional attachment is also a powerful energy; now, imagine these two powerful energies coexisting in the same system…An eruption, may be witnessed. Albeit, it may be a powerful energy, but it chooses to be the bigger person vis-à-vis ego. It chooses to be susurrus, and allow ego to have its vocal freedom. Everyone wants to be heard nor seen, these days. Hence, Mark Zuckerberg is a billionaire today. Social networks, have become a platform for perpetuating ego than communication. Hence, a 300k followers nor reactions, or comments make, most of us to divorce our humbleness and empathy by thinking that our  cyber popularity has made us deities. Come back to reality. These end devices were invented to end the tardiness of communications and to also provide a cost-effective system of communicating with all individuals across the globe. A tad convenient method, I say. However, these end devices came into the hands of the species whose calvarias are filled with skulduggery and ego. I stand tall in being corrected.

The love, however, is an enormously powerful energy which is supposed to propel us to perform life changing actions. It is so sad that the only thing which is prohibiting us from being love advocates, is ego. Such a small word; such a cyclopean effect. 

Dynamites, truly come in small packages. Ego makes us do utterly imbecilic things. We put on our headsets and headphones even when we seat next to the people we want to talk to. Ego is the reason behind silent treatment, segregation, and all kinds of discrimination. We hate one another over reasons that don’t even make sense to us. 

Ego is a disease because it causes dis ease within our souls whenever we’re in the presence of those we do not like, most of the time for utterly no logical reason. It is more of a worm that attains life from sucking our energy. I stand tall in being corrected.

Love, is a verb. However, we tend to be utterly confused to whether which verb is the appropriate word which complements love. 

Love is solely about ease. Giving was supposed to be about ease; however, in this era of democracy where most Bantu people are engulfed by insufficiency, giving is not utterly deemed ideal. Detachment is the core element of love; however, practice is not consanguineous to theory. To achieve true love, we must lose all concrete possessions and emotional attachment. 

The love is free.

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 ...
