It has been a while since I last posted here. It is not because I was indisposed; it is just that I have lost interest in many things. I do not fully understand why, but a part of me simply does not want to do anything. It feels as though I am becoming nostalgic, thinking about a lot of things. Life is filled with so many complexities that it is often difficult to explain or understand. When you see and hear certain things from people, it can feel as though the world is coming to an end.
The truth is, many of us, including myself, often ask: why are we even here in the first place? Many people respond from a biblical or religious perspective, saying that we are here to till the land, subdue it, give birth, and watch our children grow.
That is just one perspective. We give birth and must ensure we take good care of our children, yet who knows what they will eventually become? There are many reasons why someone might conclude that life is meaningless and question why we continue to accumulate property and possessions that may never truly bring fulfilment.
I recently came across a story on social media about a former governor who owned a vast amount of property but is now deceased, leaving behind assets that his children and family members are fighting over. The irony is that the person who owned the property is no longer alive. There is nothing wrong with acquiring property, as even the Bible says that a good parent leaves an inheritance for their children.
However, in a society where public funds are embezzled to acquire such wealth at the expense of citizens, it is unacceptable.
Life occurs in phases, and we must be careful in how we deal with people. It is true that we can not survive alone; we need one another. Therefore, we must be mindful of what we say and do to others.
Sometimes, when I look around and see how people struggle for survival, some even lose their lives in the process, I begin to wonder if we are truly human at all.
Humans will do almost anything to survive, whether legal or illegal. For many, the end justifies the means. People want to live, and many do not consider the consequences of their actions.
These days, life is becoming increasingly difficult. People barely survive from day to day. Many live onmeagrer incomes, while some have nothing at all. As a result, some resort to kidnapping and stealing to survive, while others turn to lies just to get by.
