How We Killed The World.... 2


“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”  ― Martin Luther King Jr.




#We steal from our parents - and even others - then we go and blame God for allowing thieves and armed robbers to plague our cities and roads.

#We cheat on exams and cause problems in the real world because we are unable to apply knowledge that we do not have - then we go and blame God for not preventing unproductivity and the fall of the economy.

#We cheat on our partners and spouses - then we go and blame God for not killing all the sinners so that we would have peace.

#We kill people with insults - slowly and steadily.... demeaning their spirits and torturing their minds - then we go and blame God for letting suffering exist in the world.

How We Killed The World....

"If you could ask God one question.....what would it be?"

That's the post I saw in Nairaland one day. It's not a new question. Many people have asked the same question before. And many more people still will.

"Why did you create hell?"

I, Difference

“The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers, but above all - the world needs dreamers who do.” | Sarah Breathnach






I've been witness to a lot of controversial events that have happened around me in the last month or so.

Granted, not as controversial as a lot of major things in the world might actually be, such as the killing of numerous Paris citizens by terrorists, rising of the Naira-Dollar rate to N400, or the kidnapping of a 14 year old girl from her home and family to be converted to a different religion, forcibly married and having her age falsified.

But simply the less grandiose controversies that get lost in day to day life... in the hustle and bustle of todays' modern digital and, increasingly, reality detached age. Things that bother a lot of us, most everyday. Things that need to change. Things that, if left unchecked, only grow bigger and bigger, eventually becoming - or lending a hand - to the grandiose controversies we see today.

The world we live in, today, is both better and worse than yesterdays world.
