Hope; is there any?

Events in life are like passing wind; sometimes ill, sometimes leaving a pleasant relief.
Sometimes, you may sit and wonder why some events happened in your life or the indellible marks made by certain people in your life.

You may begin to wonder why your house was buggled or why you have to loose out of a particular business.
To take off your mind from the negative effects of life to you, why not think about where that dull little boy who sat next to you during your exams that year would be by now or where that fat unhealthy woman behind you at the stadium ten years ago would be today.
You may even think how that young man on the sick bed would be feeling today; he may even be dead. Did you say God forbid? Its only a thought in your heart.

What this explains is that in life, we are passer-by, and as we move towards a direction, certain people or events moves or happen in the opposite direction respectively and we may never see them again but we will surely feel the impact when they are around or happening.
So if you are struggling for something today, just see it as ephemeral. Likewise if you are proud in your wealth today, it may turn out to be someone Else's peanuts tomorrow.

 If you are humbled by a situation today, hold on and be of full courage of your unseen tomorrow for hope that is seen is not hope.

Youth-Fool

At one point or the other, especially the years of teen and a few years after, most young people get involved in a lot of activities that are somewhat worrisome and which, most of the time, leaves an unpalatable taste if not curbed. I am not excluded in these acts; in fact, I can boldly talk about this because I was caught up in one or two of it. I am talking of no other year than those when: (1)     You start skipping classes in school and you are referred to as a scoundrel and neighbours have to warn their kids about getting polluted by you. (2)     All you ever thought of at the sight of any lady was ‘SEX’. (3)     Mum and Dad will be worried at home, but you are ‘over-confident’ of your safety anywhere you are. (4)     You feel you are the wisest and as such, no other advice matter. (5)     Your peers are seemed to be your family because of the cohesion and the negative school-of-thought you shared. (6)     You steal your parent’s money to buy the latest clothes

THE BEGINING OF THE END (short story)

Image
Life and death have an essence to their long existence amidst the human race. The duo may be advantageous to some people, and it may be the converse to others. With little or no control over either and while the choir sings the regular “We shall meet by the river’s side...”, I stared at the brown wooden coffin being lowered into the perfectly dug six-foot rectangular grave while the fountain of tears from her eyes and several bereaved relatives flowed uncontrollably. “Dust for dust, ashes for ashes...” the priest read on from his hand book while receiving response from quivering voice of all mourners. At that point, it was time to give the last respect to the dead by pouring a handful of sand onto the grounded coffin. “Whoever killed my husband will never go unpunished...they have broken my front tooth... they have burnt me with the fire of life...,” Her voice echoed as she paid her last respect, while she struggled to follow him into the grave, but she was securely held by one

Peseverance's Fruit.

Image
A bitter truth yields a better fruit. A man who is scared of failure is about losing his last penny of valour. Hard work is a blessing, idleness...What a curse! Laziness will not only empty, but will even make a man sell his purse Observe the shape of your mouth when you pronounce OROGBO, and again when you say OLOWO... it looks and sound same The former is bitter, But the latter is better You can be queried a hundred times for getting it wrong But when its rightful, a millionth praise Hold on, your effort is not in vain Ride on, your resort is not to pain But at the end of the insult, There will always be a gain.
