Is it worth it?

“IS IT WORTH IT”?

Many lament on life’s conditions

The pain, the sweat, the hardships,

The struggle, the anguish, the agony,

The failure, the sufferings, the inflation,

The deflations and the storms that come their way

But then, we ask is it worth it?

Why do we seek justice when we are unjust?

Why do we seek a change when we are no better?

Why do we accuse others when we are guilty?

Why do we blame others for the misfortune?

That we catalyzed?

Then you ask yourself is it worth it?

They say life’s unfair.

Who decide what is fair and what is not?

They say life’s hard.

What is life being compared to that makes it hard?

Who determines what is hard and what is not?

The standards of life, who set them?

If we set standards, limitations, goals, for ourselves,

If we rule out what is good and bad,

If we pinpoint what is fair and what is unfair,

Then is it worth the lamentations?

Pugnacious people, we are!

Making us afraid of silhouettes.

Yet we cry out for peace

Is it worth it?

We choose to be laggards and yet blame the leaders and

successful ones

Till we become the change we seek,

Till we become perspicacious people,

Till we understands what goes into life,

Till we become positive and optimistic,

Till we stop pointing accusing fingers,

And face life with all the love and enthusiasm

And give off our best,

All the complains and lamentation will be of no use

They wouldn’t be worth it!

A Punctuation in History

 #BeInspiredToday 20-12-2022 A Punctuation in History The birth of Jesus has permanently altered the course of history in many ways, including how dates are recorded. The current global standard for the measurement of dates is known as the Gregorian calendar, named after Pope Gregory XIII, under whose tenure it was instituted. Both the Gregorian calendar, and its predecessor - the Julian calendar - are based on the supposed birth date of Jesus Christ. It was Dionysius Exiguus, a Christian monk, who first proposed in the year 525 that dates be recorded in reference to the birth of Jesus Christ, hence the invention of the acronyms BC ("Before Christ") and AD ("Anno Domini" - Latin for "In the year of the Lord"). In relatively recent times, some have tried to change this with the excuse that it is not fair to other religious faiths. But no matter who likes it or not, the birth of Jesus has become a globally accepted reference point for the reckoning of dates.

Eyes are watching

Eyes are watching!!!!!!! Most things when done out of the sight of others, especially, things that are not worthy, what do we most of the times hear the perpetrators say; “nobody saw us or nobody was around”. Yes indeed, to them nobody saw them. But the most appropriate thing to be said is, “we did not see anybody around”, for all you know eyes are watching. The eyes that watch us one way or the other affect us, because a time will come when these same eyes are going to make decisions about us and pass out judgments. Yes, a time will come when the eyes that are monitoring and watching us will determine our future. One may ask in what way will these eyes determine our future? Let’s go to scripture and read something from there, ACTS 1:23, when the disciples had to replace Judas Iscariot, the bible says “so they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas and Mathias”. But before that, they had their criteria for choosing these two men. So you ask yourself how were the disciples able to c
