Redemption??

Sunday, a day marked out to give thanks right? A day that supposedly reminds us of how lucky we are and how thankful we should be. A day that reminds the believers, and the church goers when they hear the Word, and some when they think about the Word.

Some people have real problems, and that makes us realize how lucky we didn’t think we were. How satisfied we ought to be. How thankful too… for things could have been worse.

I write words deep enough to bore the mind, yet arrest and interest it. Deep enough to have you deep in thought, and for some reason, my reason  peculiar to the life you are living.. the life that still passes through you. 

The situations that sometimes threaten to have your neck on the table. 

Realizations of what you lost, what you don’t want in your life, and what you want so much to keep within, still in. Your thoughts exactly… 

Do you need or have to wait to act or say something until something happens? I could sit, stand, or walk and still ask myself when all this would end? When the suffering of a man, woman, child would change for the better. When the tears of a newly born child, that one of pain would meet the tears of the mother’s who felt more pain, but cried because of how beautiful that baby is, knowing it’s hers, knowing that she brought a new and tender life into this world, would be under shadowed by it.

The good news we pray for and hope to hear somehow isn’t what it usually turns out to be sometimes, is it.  You know that everything happens for a reason right? Every choice we make, every duty, security from God and man, every bombshell of disappointment and fraud appointments that still find their way forward, when we ourselves are fighting to push forward in life, seeking redemption. I wonder...

Twisted Religion

What is True Religion? Because we think we understand it, but we don't. What we think we understand it to be is not what it should be.

I could wrap myself with confusion trying to figure it out. But what's to figure out really? There really isn't anyone worthy enough to speak on it, is there? And for those who claim it to be everything they are and stand for?

The lowers seek the knowledge of the highers but are deceived instead as a result of the fact that they misunderstand the misunderstood. Those who can't even relate properly with the knowledge of what there is to know about it.

Who claims what he doesn't?, What he isn't?, Everyone! I just did.. and I'm out of excuses. 

Who frustrates the signs of the babblers, and drives diviners mad? .. Who turns wise men backward and makes their Knowledge foolishness?.. Who turns the table round enough to get to the past right in the middle of the present??.

Religion, a belief that's supposedly organised, now prioritised by misunderstandings of its true meaning. It's message to humanity replaced with what we think we know it to be as we practice what we choose to choose out of the scripture. The world views that relate humanity to an order of existence, it's precedence taken for granted, where the unfolded are left untouched. 

What are we doing?!.. What are we doing with Religion and the true meaning of it?? Where the custodians of faith, and of the Word in flesh and blood are confused themselves with the blinded clarity in what is true and what isn't. What then are we subjected to when we ourselves have the littlest of faith in us, not to consider the Almighty.

So who are they to make a mockery of our faith. The little we have and know. That belief in something, someone, somewhere that drives us is coming to a halt gradually.. playfully. Are we going to let it?.. let them? God help us.

To be saved by hope

I believe in HOPE because in that we can live again. Live again to Become. Become where we can't be less. Less?.. of what? When there's more where that came from. 

Again, we fight to become better, to obtain, to stand still, to not just live, but survive. Survive to conquer, to prosper despite every other...

When there's no hope what else is there?. The death of everything we own and know to be. The death of all there has ever been and all there can be. Death simply.. of all there is and should be.

Hope without fear as a side attraction is only a distraction on the fraction of a guided conception that you don't want to lose something.. someone or simply, yourself.

We give up too easily that we don't give hope a chance to be hopeful long enough to wait in patience for the good coming. How hopeful is that?

What is to be fought for is what we fear to be lost, but forget that it doesn't have to be lost before we fight for it. 

How hopeful can we be while we live?.

Pen 'n' Paper

Give me a pen 'n' paper and i'll write you all my fears, afflictions, doubts, insecurities, and my weaknesses.

I've changed, I know. Now you judge me like you have every right to. Like I should have remained stagnant and useless to myself. Useless to what's constant. 

My experiences were not yours that's why the liberty to throw scorned words of change befits that silly mouth of yours. 

Give me a pen 'n' paper and i'll arrest you with the very words of the change you need and crave for undoubtedly. 

Is my change too fast for you? Or were you expecting less of me and my being that you are surprised at how far I've come, and how close you are not. 

Give me a pen 'n' paper and i'll hit you out of denial with truth in every letter I write. 

Give me an eraser, and i'll clean all words of my fears, afflictions, doubts, insecurities, and weaknesses because I know that no matter how hard I do not try, I can't trust you, even with my life. 

Give me a pen 'n' paper, and i'll write what just crossed your mind...

Your eyes though! How healthy are they?

There are signs we get based on body languages that we ignore. There are signs we look past like the traffic signs, and still move forward like there's nothing there, and there are signs even our bodies give us that we don't acknowledge. These body signs we ignore with the lil statement "i'm fine, there's nothing wrong" are what catches up to us later on to give us their own lil statement "Don't be so sure."

Glaucoma is an eye disease that doesn't even have signs or symptoms. It's a group of diseases that damage the eye's optic nerve leading to vision loss - blindness. 

Studies have shown that eye pressure is a major risk factor for optic nerve damage. When the clear fluid that continuously flows in and out of the chamber and nourishes the nearby tissues doesn't flow out of the eye as easily as it used to and is supposed to, but passes too slowly through the meshwork drain causing the fluid to build up in the eyes, the pressure inside the eye rises to a level that may damage the optic nerve. 

Developing Glaucoma now depends on the level of pressure your optic nerve can tolerate without being damaged.

The thing is, not every person with an increased pressure in the eye will develop glaucoma. There are some people who can tolerate higher levels of eye pressure better than others. It could be high for one person, and normal for the other. 

High blood pressure too could cause Glaucoma, and you can never know if you have this eye disease or not, because it is only detected through a comprehensive dilated eye exam that includes several eye chart test measures  and eye exams. 

Nothing to be scared of at all..

Can Glaucoma be cured? 

No. There is no cure for glaucoma unfortunately. The vision lost from the disease cannot be restored. 

So seeing the signs of something, anything at all, and not paying any attention to it wouldn't help you at all, especially when it's something as serious as this. It doesn't have to be Glaucoma. It could be something else. Another kind of eye disease or defect that could even throw it's signs at you and beg you to pay attention to it. 

It could be anything. Serious or not.. 
It's best to take care of your eyes much more than you will take care of the clothes you will wear to a serious job interview of course, or something like that. Visiting an optician should be in your schedule. See an eye doctor and make sure everything is okay with your eyes.

"Take that!"

He hasn't seen you in years, but he sees you everyday.  He loved you once, he won't love you again. That was a thought until he saw you again. Have you met his baby? The one he used to call you every night and everyday. 

Can you remember?? Because now he doesn't. He hasn't, and he wouldn't because you chose not to take what you both had seriously. The competition he felt he was in pushed him aside because you couldn't hold him back with your heart. OR was it he who got it all wrong and let you act the way you did?

He doesn't know what he feels for you, but he loves you. He doesn't think about you always, but he misses you. He doesn't love you, but he does. The confusion beats him irrespective of the fact that he has found you, but not YOU.  Something he could be more in love with than you. He is on his own now, and happy he is now.. just on his own, saying  "There... take that!!"
