AS a man who have seen life in various phases , twists and turns , I am certain of the vicissitudes of our capricious existence.I have come not to disbelieve the possibility of a scenario or question why people take certain actions, as you never know what are the indices of their decisions.There are many variables that transcend from the sublime to the ridiculous.
I have come to understand the transience of power and the futility of using power on people to prove a needless point.I have come to understand the frailty of human nature and the unpredictability of human beings .
I have come to know that some friends are family and some family are friends. I have come to know that indeed blood is thicker than water and indeed five times thicker than water .
I have come also to know that some are waiting for the right opportunity to hit you once for all.For some they never recover and indeed they die, may be not in one piece , but they die by instalments .
I have come to realise that “Omo Ovbiye ” -“It is your child that is your real family”, as the Benins say. I have come to know that all the things you do , the estate you acquire and cars in your garage are ephemeral and they will all be out of fashion and out dated in the next 20 Years. But you can write your name in gold in the next one thousand years in the hearts of generations yet unborn, if you touched the lives of people. You will not live forever.Know this and know peace .
I have come to know that we make a living by what we earn , but make a life by what we give .
I have also come to know that you might think money is not important, but I tell you it ranks reasonably close to oxygen.
It is bad when a person retaliates your actions, it is worse when a person says he leaves you to God .
Every action you take to destroy or betray someone is a debt you owe.
Life is a market place, when you finishing buying and selling you will go home .
When you have power, show some mercy to people, so that mercy is available for you when you go .
When you attend the burial of a person, that should be a reminder to you that one day you will die .
When you celebrate your next birthday, bring out a notebook and your picture and let them write about you while you are alive .Writing about people while they are dead, when you did not write about them while they are alive is hypocrisy,
Let the reality of death measure and subdue your action , as some persons act as if they will not die .Before you take that action that will destroy someone ask yourself, will I live forever? The inevitability of death should be a check.
Have an exit plan from this world for yourself and your family.To start with, give your family your bank details,else your money will get lost when you are gone .
Before you proceed to prosecute or persecute People over an issue that can be resolved, reach out to resolve same .
Trouble favours only the Lawyers and the Police
You reading this piece , I want you to know you will die one day .Check yourself, whom have you offended or betrayed .Pick up your phone and make peace with that person and you will be at peace with yourself.
This is not an ordinary piece.
