Greetings everyone, welcome to my blog.
I want to talk about the topic Abstinence as a way to live longer.
I just chose to deliberate on this topic this afternoon. It's a big topic that I'm deliberating on. And it's my duty to make you understand what exactly you should abstain from.
There's something I've observed lately. And I've observed it for a while. Both in my family, and other families.
Ever since I was born, I've been hearing health personnel talk about smoking. And they said smokers are liable to die young.
But it seems the more the talk about it, the more our young guys and ladies are indulging in it.
Please, if you're a smoker, do not crucify me for saying this. If you find it helpful you can amend your ways.
I thought those warnings given by health personnel to smokers would stop them from smoking, but I noticed it didn't. Rather, it was giving them the vibes to continue doing what they thought was helpful to them.
But there's one other thing that bothers me. Why do people keep producing harmful substances when they're fully aware of their repercussions?
Is it that they want people who take it to live longer, or do they want them to die faster? I think abstaining from it should be a better option to help those who are addicted to it, to stop smoking, so it won't cut their lives short.
My uncle started smoking at a very tender age. At some point, I approached him. I told him everything he needed to know about his actions, but he refused to adhere to my advice.
While I was still growing up, there was a certain drink he normally used each time he finished drinking. And since then I've been trying to know the name of the drink, but I couldn't.
When I asked him about the drink, he told me it is for the cleansing of the heart after smoking. Before now, I didn't know such drinks existed, but I know now.
Since then, he has been using it.
So few weeks ago, I went to my village to visit my parents, so I decided to go to my uncle's house. So when I went there, I met him smoking.
I greeted him, and he answered me without noticing who I was. His eyes turned a grey color, and he couldn't recognize me even when I was standing close to him.
He had to ask his friend who I was, but they were surprised to know that he didn't recognize who I was.
I felt so ashamed of my uncle for letting such a thing overwhelm him.
He looks so dry because he couldn't take what he's supposed to take after smoking. I noticed he's not financially stable anymore, and I wasn't excited about it.
I told him abstinence is the best option. So if you've found yourself in this category of people, amend your ways.
Once your blood stops circulating, you may die. Abstain from any pleasure that would take you to your early grave.
Thank you.
