Dear friend, Have you ever wondered how much pain the earth feels when plants grow out of it? maybe because we cannot hear it talk, we might come to a conclusion that it feels no pain at all even though many refer to it as ‘mother earth’ as lots of things spring out of it; the food and fruits we eat and the molten magma that form up a rock through the volcano among many others. Ok for better comprehension of the message I’m trying to pass, how does a human being feel when another human being tears its way out of its body? Argh!!! That could be very painful right? It’s most times unimaginable but that’s what every mother goes through when after the nine month period of bearing the increasing size of a foetus and at the end has to go through the “torture” of letting it out. About a month ago, my wisdom tooth popped up, my gum was swollen and I felt so much pain. I couldn’t talk properly and eating became a difficulty. That was when I realized that every part of the body no matter how small was important and that with a little pain in the gum, the whole body could pay for it. Even though I was hungry, I could not eat and as much as I wanted and even though a lot was happening around me, I could not use words but signs to express myself at that period. That was very frustrating. However, that ordeal made me thankful towards my creator for if something like this had not happened, I wouldn’t have realized how much I needed to thank Him. Okay, that’s the earth, the mother and the tooth…what about a friend that helped you grow, someone who was always there to cry with you and wipe your tears... Through your lonely and difficult times, this friend stayed with you and assured you everything would be alright. This friend always proffered ways that you could be a better person, this friend sacrificed a lot for you including time and money and these (time and money) are materials that if he uses for himself, he will accrue immense benefit. At first you feel emotional and thankful towards him, you say you cannot do without him and all stuffs like that... but my friend, when your joy comes, never ever forget a friend like this. It is okay that human beings are not created perfect, that could be an excuse but holding unto a friend who helped you grow is the greatest treasure that one could ever wish for. Of course, no human being could be forgetful of his riches and so you must consider your friend as one of your most valuable assets. Who knows how circumstances may come back to be and you’ll start to yell for him or how much good it’ll do you to repay the good he has done you. Those who sacrificed one thing or the other for you, your parents, teachers, mentors and even a group of people that have contributed immensely to the development of who you have become; a rare gem...are those people you must never forget come what may. Repaying them in money or kind is not so realistic. Praying for them above all repayment bill is the best of all and don’t forget to do unto others the way they have cherished and protected you. Yours sincerely, Precious.
