We were waiting for the movie to start, i was with Uche, a colleague. We purchased two boxes of pop corn, and as we were walking away from the counter, a young boy (not more than four years old) threw his iced cream at us and began to cry pointing that he wanted our pop corn.
Uche went back to get one for him, the boy increased his irritating sound which began to embarrass his young mom. Alas! The boy said he wanted ours not new one and we gave him one pack.
We were about to leave the scene when he scattered the pop corn on the floor and started crying after lolly pop he saw with a girl of his age. ' is it the girl he wanted this time or the pop' my friend asked in his strong igbo accent. ' I fit whoz this little thing o! Ola, this is how #dasukigate dey start o, he concluded. I laughed and told him i distanced myself from the #Armsgate he was talking about.
We lust after what is not ours, most often irrelevant things. We may even have already what we lust after or something better but we never feel satisfied as we believe the one we want to get will get us more satisfied. Hmmm
Once we are no more minor, it is believed that we are at liberty to make choices under law; whether our choices will make us better or worse off is another case entirely.
Without trying to stand as abiter and having individual's uniqueness of life path in mind, one needs to make personal effort to #define life #plot path to greatness #know those things that matter and then #credit others as unimportant things. Will your ego, status, selfishness and lust allow you to focus on things that matter?
I saw a banker one day, his shirt, shoes, suit, two phones worth more than his monthly income. That's fine but i can bet he's in financial mud just to maintain fake ego and status- that is being unfair to oneself.
We need sixth sense to know what really matter, not just standardizing it on world view but involving our Supernatural God. It is always painful to reach topmost part of a ladder and all of a sudden realise it is leaning on a wrong wall. Two things follow: retracing one's step, which would take time or sticking to the wrong path, considering what had been invested.
Dear friend, i can assure you, IT IS NOT TOO LATE! Regardless your age and how far you have travelled, you can get your life back...Nigeria will get hers too!
