That four-lettered word. Not the one you'd expect.

I had a different blog that I wanted to post for this month but i just could not finish that said blog for some reason. I scratched the surface for words, sentences and paragraphs to complete that blog but I still could not. It was then I realized that it was not the right time for that blog to be published. So, this morning, I woke up with a message for all avid or new readers of my blog. When we are born into this earth, the first people we come to know are our family. The ones that made us, show us love and try to protect us from harm and the real truth of the world till we are mature or old enough to deal with those truths. And the reality is that those truths are some hard and cold truths that we will ever face in life. That truth is that the world is a beautiful place, however filled with people that may not share the same love in their heart that we had once experienced. The reality is that we leave a home that is filled or supposedly filled with love from our parents and family and get embraced by hate that exists in society. Love becomes an old song on the radio that comes on every now and then while hate plays on at all times like the big hit tune. I compare hate to problems because they are very identical. Hate and problems are unavoidable. They both are meant for everyone and play significant roles in our lives. When we experience hate from the so called haters, we sometimes feel defeated, isolated or unloved. But that's not the purpose of hate in our life journey. The hate we experience from the so-called haters seem like they are meant to make us feel defeated, isolated or unloved. However, that hate we experience are meant to drive us, to bring out our competitive nature and get us to our life's purpose. It is important to note that not everyone will love you. You will have those that love you (who die to their love towards you may not be able to fuel you to achieve your life's goals) and those that hate you (who may fuel you to forge on to success). At the end of the day, the lyrics to the song of hate and love that we hear in life becomes embedded in our perspectives. Now, everyone reacts differently to hate as we are built differently. Reaction however is more important than the action since is the product of the latter. How we view hate (that four-lettered word that we hardly expect), that we do experience depends on our perspective because some see a glass half full while others see a glass half empty. The reality remains that hate is the fuel that drives the engine of our life journey.

50/50: The mathematics of marriage?

I spent some time with my mum today. We talked about a lot of things that revolved around me and life in general. The topic of marriage came up and we talked about how marriage and the idea of marriage had evolved over the years. Marriage back in her time and that of her parents or grand parents were based on the very basic things that mattered back then. Men chose to marry women who were polite, had a nice smile or simply just because they came from a good, reputable family. Those were the simpler times. Times when the parameters set for a mate can be argued to have been based on quality over quantity. Nowadays, marriage is a whole different ball game. I believe everyone knows that marriage is a union of two souls to become one. However, some people going into marriage don't understand that it is a not a transactional relationship but one that is meant to collectively pull singular resources together to achieve an expected goal. This is because some women believe that the m...

Christians need to look in the mirror

I was born into a christian home and raised as one. Throughout my childhood and teenage years, I remember spending countless hours in churches and various christian assembly. I still am a devout christian and believer and lover of Christ. However, I am not one to say that my faith is without blemish or error as it surely has lots and has become a global joke. Christians have now become sheep led by leaders who do not even understand what being a leader means. Leaders who talk the talk but can't walk the talk. Leaders who go into office to chase after titles, money and fame. Gone are the days when pastors or Christian leaders go into office to make a positive difference in people's lives. Gone are the days people shy away from being a Christian leader because of the difficulty or meekness of office or how they're perceived by in public or even as a result of the little money they make. Nowadays pastors consider themselves rockstars prophesying fa...

It's not just all about you

The season of Christmas is upon us. It has crept upon us faster than we had expected. It's December and my favorite month of the year not because of the season that it brings, but because this month embodies the happiest moments of my childhood. It taught me the real meaning of family, happiness, togetherness and great outpour of charity, which i s originally refer red to as agap ē l ove. As you know, Love is a n affection of benevolence towards another with no expecta tion of reciprocity and absence of selfish gains or interest. Although, Christmas signifies the birth and celebration of Jesus Christ and a major part of the Christian religion, it means so much more than that. However, it is wise not to dwell on that because that fixation could cause a segregation across religious beliefs. Christmas simply personifies and creates a platform for giving rather than receiving. As a young boy, I was educated on the difference between giving and receiving by my late grandfather...
