Many years back it was a thong of pride for teachers to have their wards in classes far above their age. My cousins were a beneficiary of this. The one my age finished school before I filled my first JAMB form. Life to most back then if not till now was a race to the swift...
...I wasn’t deterred nor intimidated because I realized early in life that I’m only in a competition with the man I was the day before and no one else. I realize fear deters understanding & terminates communions making you a zombie under a deluge of depression.
I learnt from experience given the current realities that a world that values “getting somewhere” as quickly as possible becomes a world without substance. The more the anxiety to climb social ladder the less the worth of being at the top of any ephemeral pyramid.#YouAreEnough⛱
There are no tapes to breast in Life in the practical sense. We lose our humanity in the rapid toil & red ocean competition to get ahead in life, when we can simply live, collaborate and build sustainably. Life must not be perceived as a natural economics of profit & loss.
A gulf of emptiness awaits at the pinnacle of the pyramid in the pursuit of vanities. Breathe, live, give others a reason to love themselves and believe in humanity. Learn from nature by studying the flow of the rivers and the twinkle of the stars far out in space.
