THE NEXT SECOND ISN'T PROMISED (the world we live in)

-


 

Have you taken a closer note to this, whenever you come online, 75% of the things you read and see online are bad news, either a murder, killings, kidnap and circumstance unimaginable.


When you buy a newspaper, all you will be able to read and see is news of war, figths, killings and every other vice related to death,  you hardly see good news.


It seems evil is promised us, it looks like all we are programmed to see and hear is related to bad news.


Its so sad that even when you come across at least 5 people in a day, 3 of them most tell you about one bad tale that happened somewhere, even to someone you know.


The same bit happens when you receive at least a minimum of 5 calls per day, most of the news is something related to a bad omen, a sad news and something gruesome.


I wake up to go online and wondered what is actually happening, sometimes am scared to explore the Internet because I don't want to see anything bad. 


Three days ago, I saw a picture of a mother and 2 of her little ones who were burnt down in a gas explosion when she visited her sister at Baruwa.


I saw another most painful death of two brothers who were gunned down last nigth by cultists in Abuja, at a construction site,these young men are fathers to some children, husbands to some wives and sons to their parents and our friends too. 


A distant sister, we all rejoiced with on her recent engagement, we heard had fever and died, her wedding is coming up on the 30th of this month, you can imagine the pain and devastating situation she left her hubby, family and friends. 


The list is endless and one can't keep buttressing a fact that we all see these things, we hear them and we even have contacts with them.


We stay in our homes, we die

We go out to work, we die

We go out for fun, we die

We stay out of trouble, we die

We become activist we die

We break laws, we die

We stay with God, we die 


The bottom line is that, the world isn't safe any more, the earth swallows its inhabitant and we keep asking questions without answers, there is a thin line between life and death. 


The only certainty is now, the next second is not promised, the more reason why we should live like its our last, the life we live is borrowed and it's owner can take it any time irrespective of the situation.

It's the right of a man to find the woman and it's the right of the woman to chose the man and that is why when a man finds a woman he asks for her hand in marriage and if she chose him amongst all others she can easily say yes having considering why he is different with the right values to stick to him for life.  To the woman : *Do you know this man.  *Is he someone you can submit to.  *What are the values that makes you stick to him.  *What are his visions and mission in life. . *Dose he have the capacity and sustainability to keep and take care of you and a family.  *Is he a man of integrity and a man of respect, who projects peace and can protect you.  *Does he submit to higher authority and godly authority. *Does he have mentors who supports his vision in life To the man: *Do you know this woman.  *Is she someone you can love.  *Does she project the image of your future.  *Is she someone you can be proud of to present any time.  *Is she submissive to your person.  *Do you

Just almost when i got to the food stuff sellers shop, she also arrived, carrying Agege bread on her head, looking so hagged and hungry. How much is this rice, it looks so fine, the food seller replied her, its 400 per derica, while I was waiting to be attended to, she continued give me one derica, I don't eat rice with stones, I won't be able to eat it, she told the food seller, she buttressed again,  I can't eat rubbish because I don't have money, I left with my items while I pondered on the scene that just played out, the bread seller looks so unkept, probably from the hawking and again very hungry, even though she might not be able to afford the perfect life, but she deserves to eat the best, even if thats not what life has given to her. Many a time, we feel we are better than others because we are in a good position, we feel they don't deserve to get the best things in life, we feel they can't pass the road we have crossed, we feel they don't and can

DONT BE INTIMIDATED

If you understand that life comes in phases, you wont be bothered by what happens around you so keenly So many things are enough to make you feel less a person, when you allow them take hold of you. There are catalyst who propels you to go out of your way to see that things are done or better still satisfy people and contents, yet we also have pressures who forces you to do things out of your will power to satisfy personal self or a greedy community. Be intensional about everything you do, don't allow sentiments of any sort becloud your thoughts. Be accountable for your actions, take responsibilities for them and make sure you avoid every form of explanation to anyone, they are absolutely distractions. Never apologise for your feelings because you were intensional about it, rather make feasible ammends in the situation where you hurt any one. Always remember that life comes with various choices, many will intimidate us, yet a few will give us opportunities to be better of, yet its
