A Fragile World: Lessons from COVID 19


A fragile world
Oh what a fragile world we live in
We can't shake hands or hug our loved ones anymore
Suddenly we can't breathe in good air or breathe out a sigh of relief  out of fear of contracting an airborne virus
Oh what a fragile world we live in

Prices of goods and services are  falling in an instant
A must-have expensive product in stores has now become a less expensive product hiding in a small shelf
Businesses, from giant corporations to small startups are now on the verge of a collapse
What a fragile world we live in

How all things can change in an instant
How fragile our lives have become in a split second
Fear and anxiety have pounced on us like an animal pouncing on its helpless prey
Oh what a fragile world we live in

Suddenly how little  our achievements and riches have become
Where are they all now?
Why can't we boast of them now??
I will tell you where they are
They are all consumed in our fear and uncertainty of what is to happen next
As if they never existed here on this earth before
Oh what a fragile world we live in

How useless our possessions and plans have become now
They are of no value to us
We have come to prioritise safety and living healthy over them
All we are crying for is a cure to save us from this  infectious spell
Oh what a fragile world we live in

Suddenly our consciousness on our spiritual life has fast risen
We are now praying to God for answers and for redemption
How this world yearns for God now
Yet we all made him too small to fit into our hearts
Oh what a fragile world we live in

Perhaps we  can all learn to be less proud and more accepting of others
Less selfish and and more selfless to the cause and service of others
Less materialistic and more of our consciousness on unity and togetherness.

If our thoughts and actions can be guided accordingly on appreciating the life that we have first above every other fleeting things of this world, we will find this life more meaningful and a purposeful one to live for each day that passes.

I hope this my piece of writing and this fast wave of a viral disease will give you and me a thoughtful lessons we can reflect on as we live our lives here on this earth.

Safety first.

Your Competition

Just remember, your competition isn't other people Your competition is; Your procrastination to getting important things done Your ego, that makes you think you are above everyone else Your unhealthy eating habits and health choices The knowledge you neglect because you think you know it all or because you think others don't have an opinion on a matter because they are not intelligent The negative mindset and behaviour you're nurturing because because you think you are not worth something Your lack of Creativity. Failing to explore new ideas or try new things because you think you will fail or not succeed again. You're not in competition with anyone but yourself.

How To Treat A Man

Men are often stereotyped for being weak or soft if they show their love or affection openly. But the truth is, men also need love too. Men need tender loving care and affection and attention just like women do. Caring, showing love and affection and giving attention is not only about women. It is about men too. Men also need early morning calls, just for their women to tell them sweet words too, encouraging words to carry them through the tough day they are already having or that sweet short text message you can send him just for him to know you love him and you are thinking about him. This is the reason why most married men  turn their attention to slay queens and side chicks looking for this kind of treatment. And not necessarily for sex. So from now on, ladies, start also calling your men and husbands, tell him sweet words, encourage him and inspire him,  learn to compliment him on his good looks, what he wears and appreciate with much admiration what he does for you....

The Blueprint To Racism

In this moment of a very dark chapter for all the black race across the globe, I began wondering what the death of the late American, George Floyd really meant to the Black African in America and in Africa. While thinking about this, my mind went back to an audio I have of a college graduation speech  that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave in Detroit in the mid 1950s. In his speech, the first thing, he asked the students and their professors (I imagine black and white people seated) was all my dear black people gathered here, I am asking you today ..... what is your blueprint at this moment? Nobody answered or said a word. He went on to tell the graduating students to work very hard to find their purpose in life. And not to play second fiddle  to anybody whether white or black, hispanic or asian. Because every human being here on earth is special and created uniquely by God, each of us giving a special talent or gift. He was giving this speech, following a similar incident...
