A NEW NORM: LIVING THE LIE
By Prof Francis Egbokhare
We are in an era of social media saints and market place experts. We pounce on people without caution, strip others without conscience.
The failures of others trend, the shortcomings of the weak give us kick.
We appear addicted to the pain and suffering of other people who we criticise and condemn without pity.
I think we should have an opportunity to make mistakes without being afraid; fail without being condemned.
We should say sorry and be forgiven, be punished but experience redemption. We should be able to ask foolish questions in the course of learning, fall and be helped up.
We are now in a merciless unforgiving world where everyone is living in pretence,all are hiding something,we are trying to anticipate what we think is right to say. We are living the lie because we are desperate to speak someone else's truth. The truth that we cannot lay hold of.
It is time to be real.
