SOMETHING IS MISSING When people stop doing what they are supposed - TopicsExpress



          

SOMETHING IS MISSING When people stop doing what they are supposed to do; or when it seems they won’t do it until they are forced to; or when their lackadaisical attitudes towards their responsibility produces nothing but unsatisfactory performances, then you can be sure that something is wrong. For if someone never ever forfeit a minute pleasure just for an higher authority’s satisfaction – or when nobody is willing to sacrifice his or her convenience for the benefit of others. Something is undoubtedly missing. It agitates my mind when I see someone engaging in unethical behaviors that will eventually leads to destruction. Like taking unnecessary loans; incurring debts that the prospects of paying back are insurmountable, buying unnecessary consumable goods instead of productive ones, engaging in unethical social acts that are not in accordance to God’s will. For all these abnormalities, I always feel obliged to advice against such negativeness but my people used to say that “you can only lead a horse to the stream (with force or its consent); you can never force it to drink water. When I say something is missing, I really mean it because what will you use to explain the fact that people can no longer leave within their means? Hardly can you find any salary earner who can survive if he/she is not paid for two consecutive months. Hardly can you find anyone who is ready to sacrifice his/her daily food for her neighbor. Hardly can you find any tutor who is ready to lecture free or can you find any worker who is ready to do that extra job without expecting reward. It’s a pity, if those that are supposed to be our leader are now our looter, if those whom we entrusted with our constitutional power are only waving at us from afar, they will promise to give (or provide) heaven and earth during their campaign but to only come back after several years and still promise the same thing. The salary a senator earns in this our country for a month is enough to feed one thousand rural residents for a month, what a tragic! Okay, another episode is the substantial amount of money our football federation leaders lavishes on our so-called tournaments preparation which produces nothing but an epileptic and suicidal result. What a shame! Those who are naturally gifted are been left with no other option than to do whatever is left at their disposal, either it will uplift their natural endowment or endanger it, again, if at our remittance, those that are supposed to quench our thirst are those that are making us thirsty or to simply put it as those who are supposed to stop us from crying are those who are making us to cry in the first place. I believe that with these trails, you will quite agree with me that something is really missing. Extremely missing. The prospects of getting food, clothing and shelter which are the basic necessities of life have become a nightmare for ordinary citizens. The gap that has been created between the rich and the poor cannot be overemphasized. Not only do those that cannot afford three square meals a day have accepted they fate; they cannot even complain, for they will never be heard let alone answered. The rich are getting richer while the poor are rapidly getting poorer. Everybody keeps doing things their own way, not minding the consequences of their actions and doings which the end result might jeopardize the future of the nation. Human beings care less for their other counterparts. Parents are only concerned about providing meal for their children and care less about their upbringing. Teachers are only concerned about finishing the session’s module and care less if the students get the teachings right or not. Everything just seems to be declining and come the next few weeks (Oct 1st, 2013), the nation will be concluding its fifth decade and three years of being an independent nation. It’s a pity. Come to think of the scenarios of our security personnels and institutions, (I mean the bad ones among them), are the ones that are now extorting those whom they are supposed to protect, are the ones taking the souls and lives of those they are supposed to guard, and you want to tell me something is not wrong/missing. When an individual who hasn’t committed any crime would be roughly-handled and killed with little or nothing that would happen afterward, or is it until the street chaos and violence turns to war? Is it until the unborn generations come to ask why all these are happening and there won’t be any answer to give than to say “we don’t know”; before you will know something is wrong? My God! Something is really missing, or how can we explain the lust life we live in and we pretend it to be a love life? A husband who will leave the wife at home and goes on fornicating outside; a boss who will never want the progress of his/her assistant; an assistant who will want the downfall of his/her boss so that he/she can occupy the position; a colleague who will always want to play the game smart so that he/she doesn’t fall prey; nobody wants to be blamed; nobody wants to carry the cross; a fellow student who only cares only about his/her own result and not concerned about that of others; the neighbor who is only concerned about what happens under his own roof; that teacher who is only interested in the students that has the highest money to pay for grade; the politician that is only concerned about his household alone. I still can’t find any reason why a human being will watch his/her fellow human to fall and do nothing when he is capable of preventing that from happening, something is really missing. When I say something is missing, a little bit of juxtaposition is inclined as what I really meant to say is that “Everything is missing”. If not, why would all these be happening? Even if the (wakening of the) next day is not so sure for us, then I believe it won’t take long before you will be able to deduce that something is really missing. I only pray that God Almighty rectify the misses for us (and that should be in an earlier time), don’t say Amin/Amen if you won’t work towards it, please. What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality. As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters. - J.K. Rowling - 6.5.2008 - We share the same planet, the same earth, the same sky and the same hopes. The things that link us together outnumber all those things that separate us, let’s build a better world so we can all be a better person, to ourselves majorly. – Jamlex Adviser.
