Rising as a child is a moment of hope with so many dreams to a bright future. You play without ceasing, have genuine friends, get free help and offers, thus living every moment knowing things are only going to be better, the bitter truth of ignorance of better days.
Through the years of childhood and getting past university is when one acquires real knowledge to a blind future. Running from the desired doctor to businessman and later a broker or mere hustler if not a scammer. Without prejudice you can do any job available as long as it gets you food and shelter.
As if survival isn’t enough responsibility kicks in. This doesn’t major in with having a family or kids but the rather how to make the ends meet. Parents expectant of your assistance and so are your siblings. You get to see your friends marry, produce children, travel build houses and businesses and you wonder which art in science they apply that you have failed to master.
Once you fail to know that everyone has their own time then guilt takes you over, jealous eats you up and either stress disorder or witchcraft accompanies you.
Who is to blame for your failure? The parent that paid all your school stages or you who hasn’t applied what you studied.
Life has got no manual, today you could be limping and tomorrow you ride in glory or you could suffer until you die.
All this accumulated anger for success. The struggle to end poverty, the thoughts of theft, money laundry, and gambling kick right in. This is the drawn line between Godliness and survival; either choice will lead you somewhere (the body desires and the fulfillments of the soul).
Trusting God is the bare minimum we ought to live for; we have no control over our own existence. Trying moments come and go, and so is joy and pain. Tomorrow can only be promised by the hope we have which hope is in the Lord. But failure to invest in godliness is our strike to damaged existence.
Besides education, parents should give their children more access to church and teachings about God so that situations of their crosses may align with those of God and not their own understanding.
