Life And It's Echoes

 
Oh!!! How wicked? Life is so terrible *sobs*, I feel so useless; I wish I could just die, I am of no use to my family, my kids thinks am too weak to be their father???? We go on and on and on, complaining about life and its challenges.

Life, Life, Life, What is life? I would say life is a movie…..And everyday we play our different roles as actors and actresses. But the difference between the movie and the reality is that, we are all in to survive, so we strive every day to be the hero, when things goes sour we turn on ourselves or our loved ones, hurting them or hurting ourselves, I get it, no one wants to be a villain, but we are forgetting that everyone cannot be the hero at once. 

We all wake up every morning to a life we are either happy about or sad to live, making us to want to take some decisions that will either help us and help others that looks up to us or kill us and kill others that looks up to us. 

For every decision you might want to take in life, always know that you are not in it alone, we are all connected, just as our thumbs are connected together so are we, your decision might affect someone’s life positively or negatively, so be encouraged to be wise in your decisions. 

Note that, no matter how depressed you are, you have no right to take your life or that of someone, just to ease yourself off the hurt you might be feeling, GET THIS! YOU CAN’T TAKE WHAT YOU CAN’T GIVE, it is nature’s right to determine and not yours.

You can’t have what you want, when you want it, and just as our thumbs are not equal so are we, if you want something, you have to work, be patience, and believe, never be in a hurry, it’s in nature’s power to determine who gets to be the hero every time, and never is nature partial, if you and your hand work deserves it, then no one can stop it, and even though human efforts try to stop it, it will be for a while, remember EVIL NEVER LAST. Never think for once that you are forgotten or you are useless to the world. Infact, you are the most important you that the world can ever have, and that makes you an authentic you. 

The fact that it is not better today, doesn’t mean you will die hoping. It only means that, when it is time you will see it and things will change. 

I have heard cases were a father, feeling depressed due to unemployment or loss of job, will beat his wife like a common criminal whenever he gets back home, he would use the little money he has on him to drink and flirt with other women, he would beat up the wife for not supporting him with money whenever he needs it, and if she dares to ask for money for their monthly up keep, he would beat her up with anything he can find without blinking, as if he wish her dead, forgetting that their kids are watching, crying out for help. NOW! That man is the world greatest weakling, and he has filled the kids with so much hate, teaching them that, there is no love in the world. Imagine the life of those kids growing up in such environment, imagine how they will relate with their peers, and imagine how they will see life. Those kids can grow up doing all sorts of harmful acts that will affect the community or the country at large. Out of the carelessness of that man, he has affected severely the life of his kids.

When I talked to few of these kids that their father could not provide for their up keep and would molest their mum in front of them, deep down I could feel the amount of hatred these kids grew up with, and sometimes they would address their dad as THAT MAN!..... Whatever life you will live as a man that would make your kids hate the sight of you, you better not live it.

On another end, I had a lengthy conversation with a close friend of mine, he told me how much he respects his dad even though he played no vital role in their up keep while growing up, due to unemployment. When I asked how so? He told me that, his dad never beat up his mum or had a private or open affair with another woman, his dad always appreciates her efforts and he never tried to get in her way or feel jealous about the love and affections his mom got from them (him and his siblings). Even though sometimes, he might feel hurt which is only human but he would never let the kids or his wife know about it, but they could feel it. I smiled, and deep down I could feel the love this friend of mine grew up with as a child, and how he relates with life and his environment so differently.

That is a man and that is a father that understands the principles of life, even though he could not provide for the family, he left it for the woman who could without molesting her, bringing up kids who are so filled with love.

Here is my take on this; Whatever decision you might want to take in life like I had earlier stated, know that you are not in it alone, we are all connected, and your decision might affect someone’s life positively or negatively. 

Live a worry free life, let the worry, worry for itself, smile always even if that is all you have to offer the world, always think of the possibility that your smile is an inspiration to someone and it is an attraction to a greater good.
