WE BEGIN LIFE WITH NOTHING...IN LIFE WE OWN NOTHING...WE LEAVE LIFE WITH NOTHING
We begin life with nothing and ironically no matter the wealth,fame,body we have gathered within this life,we leave with nothing.
it got me thinking what is the essence of this struggle.........why do we wake up every morning with this beautiful hope in our eyes when we know ultimately there would be nothing to take with.
in Africa,Nigeria precisely...i conducted my studies....i interviewed so many people irrespective of religion,culture,ideology,orientation and among all occupation...They all gave me their response which ultimately lead to the fact that they do all they do for there children and loved ones..............THIS makes me wonder.....is this life really ours.........or are we renting it......do we have an option to own what we borrow and why do we have this consciousness that we have to live for others..
This concept of life that Nigerians have make me understand why their love for there fellow man can never be second to any other country in the world.....
A mother gives all she has for her children and no matter what they turn out to be she feels she still owes them her motherly care
A father toils day and night searching for ends meet and meets a nagging wife and troublesome children and even in his rage he still feels a sense of duty towards them........
A sister in her teens feels like no one knows who she really is and even in her disappointment and disgust in some of the annoying things her family does to her,she knows home is really why the heart belongs.....
A brother in his adolescent feeling that he is the coolest thing ever and that he is the amazing spider-man of our time *laughs* would never actually leave home to save the world from impending doom.......
Everyone in this family owes each other there lives and leads us back to the fact that even in life we owe nothing to yourself and ultimately have nothing
...........WE BEGIN LIFE WITH NOTHING...IN LIFE WE OWN NOTHING...WE LEAVE LIFE WITH NOTHING
