Irony of Life ii
<p><br/></p><p>In the days of your youth do whatever pleases your heart </p><p>But remember, for all you do, the lord will bring you to judgement. </p><p><br/></p><p>"if you work hard you will be successful" </p><p>Labourers are the least paid in any industry </p><p><br/></p><p>"If you live well, life will turn out easy for you" </p><p>Note because living well is not an easy life...</p><p>It takes discipline to live well </p><p>Yup... Exactly my point... Life is not easy. </p><p><br/></p><p>"Tall guys are more attractive to ladies" </p><p>"A particular shape as well as skin tone is more attractive" </p><p>Anything physical varies </p><p>In shape, size, use and importance </p><p>The spiritual controls the physical </p><p>The human eye sees only 0.0035% of what is going on around us; an outrageous minority of existence </p><p>If what attracts us to each other is the minority of our existence...the physical/visible </p><p>Is that truly an attraction ? </p><p><br/></p><p>We flatter one another to make the other feel fulfilled </p><p>Little do we know it does more harm than good </p><p>What we thought as helpful is harmful </p><p>A trap we lay out unknowingly </p><p><br/></p><p>What is knowledge? , what is wisdom? what then is understanding? </p><p>Knowledge is simply to know </p><p>Wisdom is simply to make sensible decisions </p><p>Understanding is simply the depth of knowledge on a subject in particular </p><p>I'ld say this three complements one another because, </p><p>Wisdom is the application of knowledge that has been understood. </p><p><br/></p><p>What is riches? </p><p>Tons of money, more than enough to feed your generations to come. </p><p>What is wealth? </p><p>Lots of money, fleets of assets , in addition to good health </p><p>Isn't it funny how this is the definition for wealth and riches for eternal creatures like man ? </p><p>Money is a social construct ! </p><p>Our definition of riches and wealth is limited to this earth that will end someday</p><p>On the other hand , our life is everlasting. </p><p>Death is not the end but a means to an end. </p><p>Our time here is only a preparation for the side of eternity you will be. </p><p>So I ask again, what is wealth, what is riches? </p><p><br/></p><p>What is expected of you? </p><p>Grow up, go to school, pass your examinations, be the top in your class, be sharp when you are sent on errands, secure a university admission , study a high end course , secure a job that pays well , marry a beautiful lady (that's important isn't it), give  birth to children too, two boys and a girl. </p><p>And what else? </p><p>Who designed this system? , who gave this norm to the society? , who exactly established this pattern, </p><p>The author of life himself or the will of a man like ourself? subjecting us to conformity and limiting our individual uniqueness? </p><p>What exactly is the essence of life? </p><p><br/></p><p>Feminism says gender equality is the goal</p><p>How is that even possible when a man is not a woman </p><p>And a woman is not man </p><p>Why not pursue equity instead? </p><p>When each get to maximize his/her potential and is accorded what is peculiar to them. </p><p><br/></p><p>In conclusion, </p><p>Our definition for life is based on the physical sense </p><p>Meanwhile, the physical is the least important part of life. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
