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.

Sparks of Lightening by HC

Oriowo Adeowo
What sparks your fire?

Your words burn the wind 
Your feet hurt the ground
Thy breadth bends the trees
And by thy gait, the clouds kiss the earth

Oriowo Adeowo
What calms your spirit?

By thy eyes, the water on fire freezes
And with your smile, the termites weave the roof 
Thy bowels birth the fish in the ocean
By the wit, the fierce lion greets the deer welcome as brothers
And cold December cannot hide your dimple

Oriowo Adeowo
What spurs your love?

Jealousy is not far from you 
Love is your garb
Praise is your crown
Sacrifice is your breastplate
Power is your hand and 
Silver and gold are your feet
Anger is within your reach and 
Forgiveness resides with you

Oriowo Adeowo
Of what kindred are you?
Sango I have heard
Oya as night tales

To the mount of Ogbon Onipekun
I searched thy roots
To the hole of Awari
I looked for clues


None could I find
But a book called Iwe Imo
Where knowledge of you is enclosed 
This I embrace, the map to your way
Oh! Oriowo Adeowo,
 what ends thy path but peace?
