FLUIDITY OF HUMANITY...

FLUIDITY OF HUMANITY...

IMPENDING DOOM?

Trending now the world over is the dreaded EVD (Ebola Virus Disease). A condition which is thought to infect humans through interaction with fruit bats, monkeys and even bush meat. It is said to also be contracted through contact with human fluids of infected people, actually that's not the fluid we are here to talk about, in as much as it's under-estimation has continued to spiral a threatening ripple effect.

Honestly, I am quite often taken aback when it apparently seems as if I inherently tell doom prophesy, but it just so however happens that the tales we tell are our present reality, 
although in as much as I would have much preferred that everything is good, we might not actually tell it, remember what they say "Bad news is good news" for the press.
Perhaps "Adaptation" will probably suit this scenario best. 

The bitter truth that constantly haunts us is that violence is presently an everyday reality which brings sorrow to many homes as lives are being lost in the most gruesome ways.


Politicians cunningly manipulate citizens, Industrialists monopolize the market, Religious leaders preach their biographies, half baked educationists witchcraft our psychologies, we let corruption take the most of us and still destructively criticize the very products of the collective fabrics of our inventions, while the rest of the world is desperately and seemingly hopelessly searching for clues and direction. 



A RAY OF HOPE...OR PERHAPS?

"If you get up one more time than you fall, you will make it through"...Chinese proverb

Linking proper management of time, money and quality to projects has given room for appreciation of standards, inspiring newer generations to raise the bar thus setting new records in general development, arts, sports and other deliverables, gracefully thrashing mediocrity.


Dialogue and co-operation between nations has driven partnership to whole new level, prompting international awareness to terrorism fueled by religious fanaticism and other obscure justifications, natural disasters glaringly including poverty and cash crunch.

OUR FLUIDITY

"The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire"...Ferdinand Foch

Interestingly, there have always been survivors, either because we naturally possess great strength, or its just that the whole world population is difficult to entirely annihilate.
There is an ancient saying which talks about humans being flexible and able to survive virtually any type of extreme circumstance especially when there exists the will power of a potentially dying man. This is because humans are like the fluid, no matter the direction a container is placed or positioned, fluid will always find its level, or we can say it maintains a constant point. 

Did I mention we're survivors? oops, I mean it all comes with a huge price such as countless casualties, twisted thought patterns and fear. What are we surviving really? How sad can it be that its no more than our greed and insecurities...
Some people are still aggressively glued to the presumed overwhelming stereotype that "Life is perfect". I wouldn't actually criticize whichever party you belong on this, but the fact remains that we can have the opportunity to have a multidimensional view if we carefully glance through all available options to fully grasp the impending scenario.

"The imperfectness of man depicts God's superiority"...Unknown


Perhaps Life is as perfect as we can or cannot comprehend it, from its seeming simplicity due to its perceived commonness, to its probable complexity which constantly dwells and somehow duels mysteriously round and about us. 


"To know the value of generousity, it is necessary to have suffered from the cold indifference of others"...Eugene Cloutier


Where is the love?

Image result for images of where is the loveThe Hit song 'Where is the love' by musical band Black Eyed Peas gave the now popular American band their big break after several years behind the musical scene. The success of the song can be largely attributed to the emotional and sentimentality of unbelievable absence of brotherly love so much that terrorism becomes a brainchild and organized crime of a bunch of insecure, misinformed and sadistic people. The song was apparently dedicated to victims of the 9/11 U.S. bombing which we all are directly or indirectly affected by.

 This question has toppled us all off from our feet for as long as I can remember. Humans have the greatest degree of hate towards themselves, yet indiscriminately contrarily hypo criticize. 
Humans are known to have caused the greatest magnitude of environmental and mental degradation through mining and exploration without genuine survey and consideration for long term sustainability of localities, terrorism, epidemics and recession due to high level conspiracies and propaganda.



"The capacity to care is the thing which gives life it's deepest meaning and significance"...Pablo



The Real Heroes

Truly, the best things in life are free. Look around you, how thankful can you be when you realize that you have never had to pay for the air you breathe, for free hugs, smiles, the beautiful view of the sky, and the Sun? Perhaps you pay for water because you cannot go all the way to the river, well that is understandable.

Anyway, despite the craze and rancor, some distinguished individuals have taken it upon themselves to constructively criticize the situation on ground, and have sacrificed their convenience only to take up the gauntlet for the down-trodden and those that cannot find their way, giving room for hope that indeed life is going to get better, and proving to us that we can be fluid to the point of our elasticity, and hopefully we won't break.  


Thank You.
