For every bomb we make a thousand deaths awaits.
For every lie we preach there are one million of lost believers.
And every time we do wrong somebody else gets hurt.
This analysis drives us to say that we are all true reflections of the society we live, the world today is what we made it. We are all machinery to our safety and destruction. If there is so much evil in the world today is because good people are silent or not doing enough.
It is believed that once you can control a man thinking you do not have to worry about his actions. A man’s thinking in other words consists of the information that occupies the mind, it does not matter the position, the age or geographical location. Every man is a product of his mind, it is important we take caution on what we feed our minds with because what you think you become. And we cannot rely on assumptions but facts.
There are two major elements and soul occupant to human minds.
These two elements could interchange depending on what they nurture, vice versa. They are: HAPPINESS & PAIN. We adopt either of these elements in our minds mostly out of ignorance, either through experience, teachings, families etc.
Happiness (the positive) and Pain (the negative)
Now you would want to ask how these two words relates to the mind matters,
But as we grow older, time reveals some of the answers we seek, as time goes by, we learn to understand why things turned out the way they are, why we cannot have a unified definition of life and why we happen to be the way we are, or the way we are.
Talking about facts every human is on the race to find happiness, though our method to achieve such happiness is what differs.
Inside this struggle to find happiness, most of inherent either happiness or pain, our mind accumulates whatever challenge we come across in the struggle and ways our actions are determined by these two elements indirectly. Ignorantly some of us found ourselves a long way lost, lost in confusion, lost in trying to satisfy the mind, body and soul, trying to fill the scars and ultimate desires lost, such that we could no longer go back because reality is frightening.
And when the mind realizes it self-destruct it becomes easier going forward than having a turnaround, looking back to the lies we lived, the ignorant who follow, the damage we have made, the troubles, the people we have hurt along the way the pursuing of happiness.
From one end to another, from one position, dreams, or desires to another only to find that we can never satisfy our greed, it was not the hunger to succeed that matters After All, it is the people we meet along the way.
What other reasons do we have to want to conquer everyone else in whatever we do if it is not the wish to derive joy from hearing others sing praises to us and being below us.
Why else do we work so hard to be better than our peers at all costs. Because it has to do more than just a sake of rivalry. Of course, yes, people do not rival because it is fun. There's a negative sense of reasoning and understanding that we can be happier being at the topmost. Making us feel some sort of superior seeing others beneath.
But the big question is, at the end of it all, does it really bring the happiness we seek? If not YES, then Why else do humans kill to have what they cannot keep? Why do humans think happiness lies on mere reputations?
If not ignorant why else do, we allow illusions and fantasy to control our minds. If truly we understood that all the riches in the world cannot bring us happiness, our soul’s desire.
Because men are driven by what they believe, even when most of the time our beliefs are without fact we still find ourselves consumed by the lost.
LOST
Even we find ourselves in denial, lost in our desires, consumed by our imaginations and pride. Searching for reasons to support our lost desires knowing the fact that the deeper we go searching the ultimate happiness the less happy we become.
Happiness has no master, it knows not a king or slave, rich or poor happiness dwells only to those who knows the principle of life, those who understand the true knowledge of humanity , that we must give what we seek, we must learn to sow seed if we want to harvest, we must watch over others if we want to sleep, we must care for others if we should be cared for, we must encourage others if we want to grow, we must build others if we must manifest, because the greatest investment in life is that which we sowed on other people.
We must know that happiness will come to those who make others happy.
Happiness can only be felt, it cannot be explained and cannot be described and that which is not seen can never be compromised.
Happiness is dynamic, it cannot be given to anyone, but can be created by everyone, it is the will to accept, the will to sacrifice, the will to bring what you are trying to preach into practice, because people will surely do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. And the best form of teaching is our character.
When we feed the minds of others by
Encouraging
Comforting
Caring
Accepting
And Friendliness.
The exhibition of these characters is the foundation to a happy begin, from one door to the neighboring community, when the people find happiness there’s peace and only peace can determine a safe society.
The true feeling of happiness comes when we make others happy.
Happiness is triggered through our daily activities, what we do, how we do it, and when we do it. It is the general principle of humanity that we all must sow the seed of happiness in the society if so, we can harvest from it.
To make others shine we must be the light.
Happiness is not an object that we can always run to when we want to be happy.
The idea or belief that wealth & positions can buy the happiness we sort is false.
Is impossible for humans to be happy all alone, humans are bound on a connective force that we all must connect one way or another to unlock our true potentials so we can enjoy the full nature of humanity. The more we learn to share the happier we become.
Teach a man how to kill and many of us will die, teach a man how to love and many shall be loved. Once we sow the right seed into the minds of our people we will not have to worry about their actions, our actions are triggered directly from what occupies the minds, and the easiest way to get people to do your will is to make them happy.
Happiness is the key that unlock the best part of mankind, sometimes through interacting, sharing, goodwills with sincerity. It is the most positive way to encourage and to build, a positive mind lights up others in a positive way, a positive mind knows very much that everyone around him should be happy, the moment everyone else is happy you have nothing to worry about.
In the presence of happiness there is a bond, there can only be division when people start to nurture pain in their minds. happiness resides in the heart of men and so does pain, such that even in smiling and laughter when there is the presence of pain in the mind, we cannot be happy, happiness cannot be compromised, and a happy mind thinks not and doeth no evil.
Though over the years humans has been faced with a lot of curiosity, lots of questions running through the minds and the search for answers to these mysteries, chasing a true reality, a desired comfort and happiness through various means, many of human along the line fails to differentiate between greed and ambition forces to believe that accumulating wealth would be the greatest means of survival and true happiness.
Today, humans totally misunderstood the true call for leadership because our minds have been overtaken by greed. When we find ourselves appointed as leaders we need to understand that it is a call to sow the right seeds, a call to build, a call to guide and educate the people, we must remember that for every wrong step we take as leaders millions of people are hurt, and every negative attitudes we display we obviously send negative message by character, sent across the minds of many who follows, a seeds that will live and grow in the minds of millions of people shared from one generation to another and may never be corrected. Today we see buildings and builders may be no more, same way we see today, believers of so many doctrines, religions, cultures, ideas, and theories, and despite not been witness to these believes, and the founders maybe long dead, yet every one of us, one way or the other, our lives, our minds and reasonings are being influenced by these knowledges we believe to be true. And it is disappointing many of us avoid questioning our beliefs, but on a reality check, do they truly bring the happiness we seek, does it bring unity to mankind? or are we not divided by our philosophies, personalities, religions and cultures? Is it any better or probably we may have been greater together?
And it doesn't really matter what we think we know; we are all designed by our thoughts, and our thoughts are a series of information that goes in and out of our minds driven by beliefs, culture, race, and religions, consumed by pleasure and blinded by desires.
Our desires cannot change facts, it does not matter how hard we try to hide under the canopy of ego and lies, we cannot build and live on fantasies. On every misinformation we give, there is a setback in the present and future of our society, and this will only breed another misinformed generation and misguided people who all over again ignorantly spread lies to the coming generation. and it goes on and on.
We could probably be victims of misinformed generations. Either by ethnically, race, religions, or politically misinformed by greed, holding on to what we believe are the right and true way, we could be a set of people who ignorantly bring into actions the pains, mistakes, and grudges of the older generation, whom could equally be misinformed.
We ought to have understood these principles by now, that everything a man creates will eventually get old as years goes by, and every new will be old in time to come and there will always be newer versions to everything and not once on this earth shall there be the last to anything a man creates.
But the universe will always be the same, Nature will always be unbranded, Happiness and Pain will always be what it is.
Making it simple and clear that when we are not happy you are pained.
PAIN
The absence of happiness in our minds automatically Is the presence of pain. It is vice versa.
Either one of these two elements’ mothers the mind, controls the thinking and decides the actions of humans around the world.
Pain is the opposite of happiness, which is to say that, for every human we may have hurt, troubled, or failed to sow in them the positive seed of happiness, we indirectly sow a seed of pain, and so long they nurture the pain it grows, and creates a negative mindset affecting the thinking and actions of its victims. These seeds are mostly generated from other people’s mistakes intentionally or unintentionally, it dwells on the mind controlling the mood and thinking of its victims.
These seeds triggers their victims to have negative views, and systematically spreading their negatives views which was originated as a result of pain, there will always be a soothing way share the view to others either by teachings, religious doctrines, their bloodlines, creating cultural discriminations and every other means they could, when such seeds are successfully transferred to younger generations it develops into hatred making ways for division towards toward people who were once at peace or share things in common.
Unlike happiness, pain is negative.
The energy that sparkling the wrong side of people, making them detest hatred and sadness where happiness should have been.
Pain is mother to anger, the soul author to vengeance.
In every retaliation, violence, wars, there was pain.
A mind influenced by pain sees every opinion as an attack and every partner as a potential rival.
The pain nurtured by the ancestral generations may have succeeded today to become other people's beliefs or system of worship to this generation. and sadly, it mostly victimizes the innocent, and consumes the ignorant, and this is basically one of the core reasons the world suffers today. The world suffers from racism, religious discriminations, tribal and ethic differences and so on.
We all remember the world trade centre attack; a clear example of our dangerous human could become when we nurture negative information, and harbor pain.
The mind is made up of every information the brain receives, in other words we call it knowledge. KNOWLEDGE is the most powerful tool to mankind as every individual relies on the information they gather, we are tools to what we know, and without these series of information gathered and stored in the mind, a man is literally empty. The knowledge we accept or reject becomes our differences. Even though it sounds very strange to us, we must understand how powerful the information we harbor could be, it influences the mind to the extent that humans can go to the extreme of acceptance to doctrines, teachings and beliefs that determine their own self destructions. The world has a record of numerous suicide bombing incidence across the globe, a clear fact that knowledge is more powerful than man, as it can influence the receiver to a fatal self-destruction.
and therefore, we ponder, bringing us to the reason why we are here in first place discussing matters of the mind. is a complex situation, and arguable the engine room to our behaviour. And whether we accept it or not our religions and theories are some individual understandings either right or wrong.
Even though we try as much as we could to divert the reality into prophecies, referring incidence to holy books and faith, about how it is written that everything happening has been written and is bound to happen. Statistically maybe if we have sowed the right seeds, guided our steps in doing the right thing maybe things would be better.
The universe has not changed, people do, the sun, the moon, the stars still shine within the right positions and time, the wind blows, and every other animal operates in the same manner, except humans.
Hates, wars, discriminations, crimes, conflicts, racism, are all actions of nurtured pains as a result negative information’s sowed which we can no longer recall where and when it was generated.
In economics, a want is something that is desired. It is said that every person has unlimited wants, but limited resources (economics assumes that only limited resources are available to us). Thus, people cannot have everything they want and must look for the most affordable alternatives.
But one thing they never made us understand is that what a man wants and what he needs are two different things. Economics never made us understand the effect of wanting what we can never have in generations to come. It never further explains what exactly we wanted and why we do not need it, it does not elaborate the fact that the sole need of a man is happiness, and no amount of perishable goods and services, wealth, commodities can replace happiness even though it is free.
A man's want is unlimited because they perishable items, a man's need is priceless, ageless, for generation upon generation.
Though we sort for safety in the process of the creation of weapons such as firearms and all explosive equipment’s bombs, these weapons destroy more than they protect lives and properties.
Why do men seek salvation if we are not lost?
When the mind is hijacked by a various ideology and information known as knowledge our body becomes tools to these elements and every step, we take becomes the calculated crafting of other people frameworks without being conscious of how it influences our sense of reasoning because in as much as we continue to build fire powers and explosive bombs no one is literally safe.
Because we cannot guarantee safety by building that which could destroy. We cannot have peace of mind while we still think of wars. Certainly, because we are aware that some people could be nurturing the pain, we may have caused them or perhaps the disagreement between older generations.
And in conclusion to this, we are obviously the reflections of the society. The world suffers today because of the pain we nurture or the lies we believed. We rise and fall, fall and rise, we do the same thing repeatedly and find ourselves at the same spot. And we may never break the circle.
Even though the rich also cry, the poor remain eager to be rich.
The rich could only count riches, but cannot guarantee peace and happiness, whilst the poor count their losses with hopes that breaking off the shackle of poverty would restore happiness.
But statistically happiness can be created by the wealthiest and the most wretched.
Because happiness is free, cannot be forcefully taken by strength, power, and authority. Is the divine natural bond that we all must connect with love, happiness is the will to accommodate, the will to share, the will to explore other people around you, it is the will to love.
No one is capable of love without being happy. Happiness is the shortest route to bring out the best from humanity, the most reliable way to govern the people is making them happy, the best way to keep our relationship is making our partners happy, And this is because we are our best selves when we are happy.
Happiness creates room for love.
LOVE
The most powerful word on the surface of the earth, the exact word that amend the broken and break the hardened.
Love is the feeling that can make us laugh in the morning and make us cry at night. Love is the language that defines our existence. Humans make life worth living.
Even though many of us have come to the conclusion that such a word does not exist, it is important we understand that love remains the most beautiful feeling to mankind. Moreover, we also should understand that love can only break out from happiness, this indirectly implies that humans will find it difficult to love when they nurture pain, when our minds have been taken over by pain love becomes exceedingly difficult.
We cannot love to be loved, we only love because we do, and most of the times we find ourselves in love with people who are yet to understand what love really is, and we cannot expect them to understand immediately because we are in love with them.
People have problems in relationships because they try to choose who they should love. We often try chose the people matches our criteria, the people that fall in wish list how they should look, what they should do, and even going as far as trying to compel our partners to be just how we wanted, and that is basically where we go wrong, because when things do not go the way, we want it would result to damage,
Love is divine, it does not choose and moves us where it wants and we follow the directions, love is sacrifice and relentless.
