LISTEN TO EACH OTHER.

Sometimes we misconstrue question and see it as an abuse. And because of this perpetual misconception our relationship with others is getting lean.

From my research I've realized that most of the fight we fought were on the premise of misconception of statements, actions or thoughts.

Some misunderstanding/arguments ensue like this:

Mr. A: 2+1=3
Mr. B: No, it's 1+2...Lol

And they both can argue on this for some minutes which can later result into something else.
However, they're saying the same thing in a different way. But they fail to listen to each other....

Even in Philosophy it was experiment that a certain folk who says tomorrow is Sunday and the other who says 'no' tomorrow is not Sunday, but the day after tomorrow is Monday were actually saying the same thing in a different way. But they could argue this for hour not knowing they were saying same thing.

Take a critical look at the conversation below:

Abuser: Are you deaf?

Me: did you just ask 'if I'm deaf?'

Abuser: Yes

Me: That shows I'm not deaf because I can hear you clearly.

Abuser: Are you blind?

Me: Are you not wearing blue shirt?

Abuser: Yes, I'm wearing blue shirt.

Me: Then, that's a confirmation that I'm not blind.

You can see it up there that I was not called a deaf but was asked a question if I'm a deaf. And I gave it a pragmatic approach to show that I'm not a deaf....

I believe we cannot live together without having disagreement. But it should not be frequent.

However, our disagreement or argument must not lead to fight. If we take the right approach of listening to each other's point of view.

Many a time misconception like this lead to divorce in marriage. I believe we can all live together in harmony without qualm. And this can be made possible only and only if we listen to each other.

Flimsy argument like the illustration above had scattered many relationship. No one can live in isolation. We need each other to make the world a better place to be.

Thousands of people are dying yearly due to loneliness which can be remedied by having cordial relationship with one another.

Next time you're asked an abuse-like question, don't respond with abuse. Just give a reasonable answer. By doing so, you're telling the abuser that you are more intelligent.

Shalom.

Remember keep being you and keep being true.

Till we meet next time, I remain my humble self, AKERELE, Odunayo Samuel.

IT MATTER

IT MATTER! The topic to be discussed today is ‘it matter’, but the question is, what matters? Join me as we look into this deeply. When I was in secondary school my Agricultural science teacher taught us then GERMINATION and the factor responsible for growth. Some of the factors are: viable seeds, moisture or water, nutrient (soil) and air (oxygen) When I meditatively considered these factors I realized that not even one out of them is un-important. If any of them isn’t available then the seed growth or germination is in jeopardy. Applying this into our lives’ journey as humans, it is evident that some factors also responsible for our own growth in every endeavors of life. Some take this serious while some others don’t. When I say growth I do not mean increase in the number of age. Neither do I mean increase in stature. We grow in business, career, and ministry and so on. For us to grow in life we need to take these factors seriously. For instance the viabil...

I PROPOSED A DECEIT

I was born when the time was still partially measured by the throaty crow of the cocks. When if cock refuses to crow, the time was measured by the height of shadow. I can still very much remember how my father would say the time is three o'clock in the afternoon because the shadow had reached a certain height on the wall in our backyard. Sometimes I was wowed at the level of his intelligence. He didn't mark that particular spot on the wall and he never for once missed it. I tried doing but kept on missing it. Then, I used charcoal to Mark it. Isn't beautiful to say I also measured time by the height of shadow? Winks. My father was a farmer and partially a hunter. He was very diligent and good at what he does. He had cocoa, cola nut, plantain, yam, maize, cowpea, and rice farms. He was rich in goats, and different kinds of fowls. Apart from the fact that he uses labor we the children were also part of the labors employ on his farm. We worked all ye...

THE MYTH OF AN AFRICA AKEE: NUTRITIOUS BUT POISONOUS

Dear friends You have mountains to climb You have missions to accomplish Shining brighter is your bulb Don't give your strength to that which perish Never fall for alluring hips You have land and nation to conquer Waste not your time conquering hips As a result, many lives have been shattered Your friends might have told you it's love Maybe not the one from above What you desire is that which you have seen The contour, the butt, curves, and the breasts Love that robs you of value Hear this my humble truth This is lust after her many assets I can see that big butts, breasts et al are all set Before you climb this mountain Why not ask if the time is riped Because it's like an African akee Nutritious but poisonous if it's not *Footnote The right timing is very important whatever we are doing. Before you take any action be patient enough ask yourself if the timing is right or not. ©OdunayoSam.
