We give what we have

Remember, Everyone gives what he has! If someone hurts you in any way by expressions of negative emotions directed towards you, you feel vexed and saddened, the impulse to retaliate comes up - it takes an extra grace to remain unoffended - and it's likely one acts on such impulse. We all give what we have! If one gives hurts, he is full of hurts himself and doesn't need more hurts (resulting from retaliation), he wants and desires to be liberated from the sufferings attached to these hurts. Only love cures hurts. Yet it takes special grace to forgive! We are humans afterall and when our emotions are provoked, we tend to react! reacting doesn't solve the issue, it only magnifies it that's why returning love for hate (though hard) is the true way. Reacting and retaliation gives the appearance that it will soothe your pain but after one indeed follows such impulse to retaliate, then the pains never soothe but boomerangs!

What about Pills and Medication? Science is wonderful, it found a way out to help people prone to depression and mind disorders. Synthetic drug formulas as antidepressants came into being. We human beings are biological and thus are affected by emotions as happiness, joys and sadness, science then discovered that these emotions are stimulated i...

Wisdom Nuggets from May

There is this amazing discovery about life I realized and this is it, that unobtainable things (at the present) appear extremely attractive. In secondary school, there was this concept I learnt about light refraction in physics –the mirage– which is explained thus ; when traveling along a tarred road on a sunny day, far ahead appears a pool of water, it looks alluring that you can't wait to get to the point where you could see it closely and even touch it. The thing is you never get there no matter how fast your automobile travels. Another example is this, when traveling on a big body of water, like the ocean, when you stand on the deck of the yacht and look beyond you, it appears that the sea and the sky meet ; to really experience and see this meeting point, you convince yourself that with an increase in speed, you will finally reach the point where they do meet and take a selfie –only that you never reach such point– another mirage-like experience. Another personal example...
