Think of death and be humble
*Think of death and be humble*

Death is inevitable. Every living thing have a lifespan. A time to grow and a time to die. Doesn't matter whether rich or poor, young or old, strong or weak, short or tall, handsome or urgly, black or white. "All that ever breath count will stop count"(Uwagboe Ogieva). While few knows when their breath will stop count, many do not know.
Is death actually a gain or loss? as magnified by Benson Idahosa?
Death is that moment you sleep and cannot open your eyes again. when your breath stops in a moment, loose consciousness of all that exist around you. When in a moment you loose touch with reality, loose sight and images of life. Loose all you've ever known, you ever have, you ever worked for, loose all you ever acquire to others without coming back again to retake, reclaim, dictates or partake.
"Ede uwu iro foo" (when you die, all your thoughts ends) - Great Benin proverb
"Ai wu mu agbon rrie owa"(you dont take your physical world with you when you die) - Great Benin Proverb
Study shows people who think of death are more purposeful living their life. Many make life insurance, some do will on their properties to be shared as they wish because can no longer have say again after they die forever. Others just live for living sake without worries, freethinking because they have nothing to loose or gain.
What if all you need to live is self sufficient in this life? NOT all that greed, envy, jealousy and hate which are *excesses* instead of sharing, love, generousity, little kindness while you still breathing?
Beside death, it's been obvious life situations and conditions fluctuates. Situations can change, conditions can change. Life itself is more a lesson to make one humble, take it with easy and be more humane dealing with oneself and others.
No one have power over death nor have choice, option or opportunity after you die.
Think of death and be humble. Do what you need do to live maximum of your time while still awake and breathing.
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else's life.”- Steve Job

Life have a termination moment. How you want to live it is your choice

ReplyDeleteTHINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE.
It ends here
All the gragra, from eighthen to eighty
From morning to night
Sunday to Monday
January to December
It ends here
That seductive skin
That oval face that turns every man on
That flamboyant dress
That charming and elegant body
It ends here
That exotic cars
That intelligence
That fifty degrees
That beautiful wife
That fine children
My friend it ends here
That fame which you seek most
That luxurious life
That "upon all my wealth"
That "do you know who I am?"
It ends here
That I am not your mate?
I am richer than you
I am beautiful
Many boys woo me
Infact girls fight to have me
It all ends here
That your good poem
Your power of algebra
Your good English
Your all round best
It is just matter of time
But it is a must
Painful truth to accept
6ft awaits all
That is where it all ends
So you have nothing
You are greater than none
Stop behaving as you are a god
In a twinkling of an eye
All will go into thin air..
Humble yourself !!!!
From dust to dust
unfortunately, many don't realize that life is not eternal, that neither are they better than the disease. Share with humanity what you can. billions of humans on planet earth. your death will affect nothing as life will go on. all whatever aquired, whether title or physical properties shall all be gone, left for others or finally wasted away. the earth will remain hundreds of years after you and me. After our children have died and gone, the earth will still remain and humans will continue to live. hence better share with others , give little you can and leave the rest for what must be to be when all present now is gone. let someone atleast be happy you live or you are there. make time out to feel hapiness, enjoy fulness best way you can. be free minded, be conscious of your mental health as well as your physical health. - Uwagboe Ogieva
ReplyDeleteTHIS LIFE
ReplyDeleteThe day I entered mortuary, what I saw was undescribable.... Human beings laid down on bare floor and stark naked. They were more than fifty. Some were supported by jerry cans, some were placed on bare floor, some on tables and some on plank. Women and Men were together but were stoned dead with their private part uncovered.
A man of God said When we pushed Dare inside, the attendant removed all the cloth on his body and my leader was stark naked and he was placed on a wood. I looked at him, he could not protest, he could not use his hands to cover his nakedness and I asked myself, what is this life all about?
👉Why are we struggling to possess everything?
👉Why are we having pride and ego as if we own the world?
👉Why can't we forgive one another and know that vanity over vanity and all is vanity?
See house owners, degree holders, car owners, lying on top of one another naked without shame. See different hair styles on the head of women and here they are stoned dead.
Life is nothing, position is for a while, riches and wealth is temporary. I don't know when am leaving this world but I have an idea of what will happen to me when am no more.
I want to be better than yesterday, I want to be more humble. I want to be more forgiving and I want to be more humane than before because I have seen that life is nothing and death is certain and it is a leveller of status in life.
Let us step on the sand softly as the floor is slippery.
