LIAR! LIAR!


I salute you all who have awoken to see this glorious & breath taking day filled withwarm sunshine. Ooh you thought that today was just like any other day, no it is not! A good number of us have not had the sweet privilege that we have of enjoying taking in the fresh, clean air (this is just a mere figure of speech, the air around is quite toxic but am sure you get my drift). This is a new day of the week with a load full of ideas beckoning at the back of minds wanting to be unleashed to the unsuspecting world. Just as the earth revolves around its own orbit, so does karma for what you do to others will circle back to you, not now but soon enough.

Now am thinking, you are all wondering what the fuss is all about. For starters, let me ask you which is easier to say a lie or the truth? I see that no one wants to directly answer that query. It is okay, I am not here to judge you we all have a right to our opinions or views. I simply want to put it across that our every day choices dwell on the end result of what we want to attain. As easily as a lie can roll off your tongue, so should the truth. In this day & age trust is not just handed out like a donation, it has to be earned. Once broken, no amount of glue can hold any form of relationship we may have with others together. 

At times you may find that those whom are hugging us in our time of need aiming to comfort us, are only looking for a soft spot on our backs to stab us with betrayal. Trust is a two edge sword that cuts both ways, there is the giver & the receiver, neither of whom would want the other to go back on their word nor deceive the other. How our human nature is weak that we yield to our dark desires & succumb to the ways of the world. Just like Judas Iscariot betrayin Jesus for 30 pieces of silver (for real, thirty pieces of silver, this dude was quite cheap), anyway we are whom we are.

In the words of William Shakespeare, "to be or not to be that is the question". Why engage in a cycle of lies which is quite cumbersome trying to remember your story line, is it not easier to just say the truth? I am sure you all have your own version as to why you lie, am not saying that I am a saint but when it comes to the people who trust me, I would rather walk in the light than hide in the darkness. Once a lie sees the light of day that will become your unraveling. You shall be exposed to the world for who you truly are, you better watch yourself for the day of reckoning is coming. 

It is better to be hated for telling the truth as it is, than to liked or loved for a lie which we know has dire consequences. You want to feel free like the birds of the air then learn bit by bit to say what you actually mean. Be gentle with the words that come out of your mouth, it won't be easy at first but with time you shall be one with your thoughts. Try as much as you can to maintain the trust that people have in you by valuing & respecting their wishes.

DO YOU.....


"To err is human" how we aimlessly use this phrase to get out of a bind as it quickly escapes from our lips.  We stare blankly at our accusers, wondering to ourselves what did we do to deserve this. Ooh well, that is the aftermath of one opening their mouth to defend themselves from a crime knowingly committed. Laughing at the truth, trying to hide the guilt that is knocking at the door of our consious.

We are indeed quite a unique & one of a kind species that always jumps the gun at the slightest provocation. We have the tendancy of making conclusions on matters without first finding out the true & accurate facts. Going into a full fledged accusation spree, unleashing all manner of utterances without ensuring that all that is being said is the truth. We become tactical like S.W.A.T. in our deceit of our true nature hiding behind a veil.

How as individuals we concentrate so much on bettering ourselves at the expense of others. Unmindful of how our very actions may affect those who see us as allies or friends. Looking down on others & making them feel like nobody's because we have achieved it all. One should learn to put themselves in the other's shoe so as to know how it feels & if it indeed fits our own feet.

Our primal instinct is to lay to waste all that barricades our path, forgetting at times that which we come across in life is a stepping stone to learn the ways of adapting to various circumtances. It is not a necessity that every action in your life or around you requires a reaction. Our course of restrain needs to be strengthened as we are a weak lot that gets easily manipulated by our dark desires.

Before you start assuming about one thing or another that one has done, make sure to learn the facts (but guessing from how you have just snared, I doubt that will be easy). Before you judge someone or a situation, get to first comprehend the reason behind its existence (don't be all amazonic in your approach or unleash your inner spartan, keep cool).

Before you decide to hurt someone, try & think how you will feel if it were you in their place. (some of you are like, yeah righ but let me tell you when it will happen to you, you will not like it). Before speaking what is in your mind, try & think thrice about the repel effect of those words (every word spoken has an effect try to remember that).

BE BLUNT.


Morning, I salute those of you who have had the privilege of seeing this wonderful, sunny & new bright day. Today is a fresh, clean, new chapter in your book of life, for it is indeed a gift for that is why we call it the present. We are a chosen generation, highly favoured & blessed to be alive this very day. It may not feel like it but I can assure you, there is a lot to be thankful for. Having that in mind, today is going to be a good day (that is just my proclamation, as is said 'what you confess you profess')

Who do you think will stab you in the back faster, your enemy or your friend? To some it will depend with the circumstances but most times we find that those whom we deem as our friends, will be the ones whom will stick a knife in us when our backs are turned. There is a wave of deceit & betrayal which has become a rampant kill joy, spreading like the black plague. We are no longer interested in protecting the interests of those whom we claim we value, we are rather more inclined to secretly plan their downfall. 

We look down on each other & collude with dark forces to taint the little reputation & image of those in our lives. The notion of 'survive using any means necessary' has become the norm. We no longer care or are concerned with who we hurt in our quest for a better life. Laying to waste all that stands in our path like an atomic bomb, leaving behind a trail of mangled lifeless bodies. It is prudent that we grasp the true meaning of saying what we mean & meaning what we say. 

The tongue is deemed as the deadliest weapon on earth, for the most distractive of wars were merely begun with a single whisper in the wrong ear. Then lo & behold, blood shed became the new normal. I am not saying that we should live a perfect life, am simply stating that if you can't be a true friend don't stick to someone like a leech. The concept of letting go & being free like a bird is foreign to us, as some will claim that the friend they have, has been with them through thick & then. 

I can't argue with those claims but if your very soul is constantly being drained by those close to you, you need to make a choice. Either to remain soulless for the rest of your miserable life on earth by remaining shackled or salvage what little is left of yourself by letting go.
