SENSELESS THINGS ABOUT LIFE I use to be confusing life with success. These as I got to know are different in all edges. Life starts from nowhere and ends nowhere. One cannot tell all about his own life, if you try to, you can do a little. Imagine the numerous things about your own life that is not all your understanding of yourself. Your personal understanding of your own life is not complete. Ones your mother or father is alive, find out from them about your life. They have a lot about you which you do not, cannot and would have not known. Your life is full of questions which you don’t know. You cannot be your own teacher and no one has ever been. You need to learn from someone and so you can unlearn to someone. I have been thinking that, I know myself and understand my life style. My brother, upon several thoughts about where my life came from and where I think I am going, it is full of questions with no answers. I got to realize that I am called so, when people already knew my name and identity and could even call and instruct me, there I knew I was called. I could not understand my own name sometime ago, I had no dialect, I could neither boast of sitting down nor walking nor talking. I wonder if my mother had been innocent and unconcern about my feelings, what I could have done. She knew me when I didn’t know about myself. My brothers and sisters, people know us better than we know our self. If you think I am joking, try this. Find out from your vicinity, if there is one person who cannot say one or two things about you. Don’t you believe that two heads are better than one? Put their knowledge about you and compare to what you know about yourself and you would realized that, you didn’t even know yourself. All these people might be younger or older than you in the society. They demand vigorous respect from you because they add up to make you who you are. Imagine if one person in your surrounding dies each day, what ll be in your mind for the next year. Don’t you think that, because they are alive is what makes you hopeful of not dying or sensing death?. They give you hope to think that you have to be this in this time that you are thinking. They command respect from you. Once again, I have been feeling that, I demands respect from all those I am far older than, but I have discovered that all that was grievous mistakes. I owe them respect because I wish live long in this earth. The good books say that, the rewards of good deeds come first in this world before in heaven. Ones you are alive, you may be tempted to think that, you know yourself and so they should respect you. You need to respect them because “ceteries paribus”, they shall write your tribute and all that they knew about you. Will you be there to sign the validity of what is read to the general public? If what the young boys or girls are saying is false about you, then you have created that. Did you know that they ll one day write about you?, did you respect them for them to learn the actual truth about you. We have been our own enemies and rather think that people hate us. How many people hate you in your home?, your area, your town, your district, your region, your nation or continent or the world?. Don’t you believe on the statement that “silence means concern”, they don’t hate you and so they don’t tell you nor trouble you. Some people make this mistake by saying that, they are disliked by people. How many are they?, after all, the majority don’t even know you. My brother, It was after I travelled a lot on the road of Accra that I realized that, I have never re-met those I have ever travelled with. Where are they? is my usual question. Life is senseless and one cannot say much about it. I get to realize that, the best of handling this problem is by knowing much about people. I should recognize the elderly who took part in naming me and the young who shall take part in writing my tribute. After all, if I write about my own life, it would be updated by at least time in order to be read in my funeral. So I cannot respect myself as I should do to others.
