Bitter Like Pride


“A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.”   C.S. LewisMere Christianity



I used to hold grudges a lot when I was younger. Planning for Africa, what I would do to all those who hurt me.

Dark, desperate, damaging thoughts.
I would not let these thoughts of revenge go. No, no... I would not let a single person get away with hurting me, or betrayal. I would not let a single tear slip unremitted.

The Foolish World




THE FOOLISH WORLD
By Chimamkpam Onyenezi

The Igbos have a saying, "Uwa wu otu mbia"
It means that, in this world, there is just one life
That is why we must all be cautious of this life
I also say, that this world is truly "Ikpu Wigous"
All I'm saying is that we all really have to focus
After this world we suffer in, there is yet a better one
But going to the better, depends on how you lived in this one
