There I was looking straight at the dangling rope on the iron rod holding the ceiling fan numerous and thousands of thoughts raising through my mind and most importantly thinking the effect of my death.
What's my mother going to do,
what will my father do and my babe that I have dated for a long time precisely 6years.
Those were the thoughts but above as much as the desire to climb the stool and get it over with,
the more I felt these unseen force pulling me back.
There as I was ruminating on making up on my mind on what's next I saw something wonderful an event unfold which helped me in changing my mind, right there on the dusty fellow I saw a spider weaving it's thread and sucking a little insect into it ,
the name of the insect I don't know because half of it has been engulfed on the spot but something amazing happened this insect was fighting with all its might not to loose to the spider with its tiny limbs he was tearing into the obstacle and this went on for more than 10mins and mind you I don't know if it had started before my notice and as the fight goes ON,
the spider became tired unable to continue because of the stubborness of these little creature and therefore he left him crashing to the floor and there goes my lesson that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Human Is design to withstand adversity,
and come out proud winners albeit not all humans come out victorious in this tumultuous world.
With this,
I decided to face every challenge in my life that seemed insurmountable and in the process become stronger. I want to implore everyone at a specific crossroad where it seems all hope is lost not to give up and keep working Wed believing your fortune will come one day.
It only takes a moment for the life of an individual to experience a turn around.......
This was a story told by my late grand pa (late pa Nathaniel Adesiyan -Otunba Jaaran of Ile-ife) when he was celebrating his 90th birthday and by all ramifications a fulfilled man as at that day. Adieu papa
