We need more kindness

Jodekss

 

Most times that I give or help, it is not because I have sufficiency or because I don't need help too, I give and I help because I know how it feels, to have once before but later have nothing left and I know how it feels to be alone and helpless over and over again.

 

But don't sweat it, don't leverage someone's kindness/goodness, if you do so you'll regret it immediately or later. Others too will suffer what they don't know. Imagine someone stopped being good on you, imagine what happens next in chain reaction - s/he is not helping her/himself, others s/he is meant to help remain helpless and those who are helpless who they would have helped remain helpless too... and on and on. 


Read my thinking on DESTINY... 


Helping, in my own perspective, is meant to look like everyone's accountability in everyone's power. Meanwhile, this would never be the case if one is finding it hard to love one's neighbour even as one has loved oneself. This means, trying and loving oneself truly is the foundation to loving another entity. And that tantamount to wanting to do whatever it takes, in one's power, to help another entity. 


Finally, when that/help is done to you, try and look around and help someone truly in need. At least, do this and expect nothing as repayment even in the same measure. The universe shall somehow repay kindness to the kind, and evil to the otherwise.

Who we are by Jodekss Gloatkenf



My do-this-do-that deeds are unto star's
I, a star -an entity with several scars so
For the journeys of a light in sum has
to be being knightly through a hollow glow
of a nightly cuss caused by the course
I know not, not so even though I'd treat.
Lo! Come one n' come all - n' beware
of us like us - we are starlight, we share
Attractiveness could pitch as us in fine feat
[Just as reeled like horse on fire by a young feet]
We'd come into your grimly darkly night
With all these lights we shine this bright
When we leave we left with you left alone, heal
When we leave we left with us left as cornerstone still.

Fusion of fatalism and anti-fatalism as a determinant factor of a man's destiny by Boluwatife

By 🅱🅾🅻🆄🆆🅰🆃🅸🅵🅴

The very first time I came across these words - fatalism and anti-fatalism, I was not surprised but I tried to bring a synergy between these two concepts. However, they are separate opinions or philosophical terms that should be dealt with separately depending on the context. Surprisingly, I found out that they can actually be treated alongside. In fact, they cannot be isolated from each other. 

At some point, an individual will eventually be a victim of fate but anti-fatalism or indeterminism will virtually change the prediction of fate. 

In simple terms, fatalism is the belief in bad occurrence which is inevitable. Fatalism, the attitude of mind which accepts whatever happens as having been bound or decreed to happen. In other words, predestination. What happens during the cause of life is believed to have been predestined or ordained by the gods. Hence, an individual does not have the choice or liberty to change what his or her destiny has chosen. 

Ola Rotimi's ' the gods are not blame' better explains the concept of fatalism. Odewale the main character could have chosen another destiny if he has the chance but it seems the gods are harsh toward him. He is left with absolutely no choice other than to kill his father ignorantly and marry his mother. Many today find themselves in the shoes of Odewale in a way. This is so we they just have this persuasive feeling that whatever happens is what they are destined to experience believing they have no control over the course of their lives. The chance to turn back the hands of time comes knocking at the door of these people, hence Anti-fatalism. 

In other not to become a victim of bad fate, anti-fatalism says what you become or what determines your destiny are choices and decisions you make. You don't have to blame the gods or God. He chose your destiny for you and gave you free will to do whatsoever you deem fit to fulfil it. 

Many religious circles are the propagators of fate. Some even attribute it to Yoruba culture that is 'kádàrá ni' (it is destiny). 'You can't change your destiny' have become the norm. Forgetting what the Holy Bible says about Jabez. Did God not change his destiny? The truth is fate and indeterminism will play out in our lives at some points but we have the chance to choose and overcome bad fate.

What happens to those with good fate? Just like we have bad fate,  also have the good ones. Predestination gave birth to both. What bothers me is that those with GOOD DESTINY don't strive at all. They settle and hope their good fate will bring them fortunes suddenly. I dare to say GOOD FATE KILL YOU THERE. Have they forgotten the rules of anti-fatalism? Don't sit there and expect manna to fall from heaven. Even good-fated individuals should thrive to bring their good fate to realisation. 

The bottom line is, your choices and decisions determine your destiny. Not what Ifa, baba, pastor or alfa says. You are the chief executive (author) officer of your destiny!

First Curtain - World Barnabas


I will sing a paint
through mat of mystery
into world beyond map
and window above panther
tickling chorus of colorless writing.

Parabola of scarlet union
above riddles of flesh and blood
taming lovers in waters and trees
to speak of unbroken walls
in treasures of darkness beyond.

We're the children of the spirit
a jinx in anticlockwise ceremony
male-knight and female-king are we
as we sit upon rocks of ages
to manipulate seedlings and stars.

Legion of gods in Green River
to plant us in human history
through stolen placenta
umbilical cord of old prophecy
in shawl of fresh limbs and intestine.

In our database and culture
a mother of seven lives
is being processed to a child
duckling the length of days
into barter of kolanut and incision.

People are also reading WEDLOCK EXHIBITION

Because of many blind eyes
heavy curtains seems beautiful
and spouse harbor them for decorations
strongman stumbled on innerman
to summon inhabitants to dance of spirits.
