The Delusion

“All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher.” —Ambrose Bierce, 19th-century American author

Three Cardinal Rules of Living With Empowered Women.

Our women are empowered. Or, to put it differently, efforts are being made to make our women empowered. Is it good news? Has it made the world a better place? Would you want to live with an empowered woman? And what exactly is women empowerment?

Where is Your Liquor Money?

Liquor money? What do you mean? I mean precisely that—no typographical errors. And no one is excused from the priest to the proprietor of a liquor warehouse. And even those who preach anti-teetotalism should tell us where their liquor money is. So what exactly is liquor money? I don’t want to risk assuming that all […]

I want to be Great!

I want to be Great!Not by taking advantage of the ignorance of the people,Nor knocking down those who possess what I need in order to feel great,Neither by swindling people into selling their birthright to me,But I want to be great…,By waking up a while earlier than everyone to accomplish some tasks,By spending my liquor […]

Do Animals Have Moral Responsibility?

I think animals to some extent know what is right and wrong within their acceptable framework. That is why a donkey will kick in retaliation to show their dissatisfaction when cornered with overwork, and dogs will play with and hug familiar faces but scare life out of strangers. I have an experience with goats when I was a little boy, that is coming in handy in this discourse. I remember some goats which would slither on their bellies like snakes when invading plantations to escape the all-seeing-eye of a herdsman

And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while:

Mother

As a little boy,I knew as my mother,A strict disciplinarian,She was careful that we must be different,She was careful to know who my friends were,She was concerned with whom I chose as a deskmate,And she was ever there to be seen,In school, she was a member of the committee,In Church, she was a member of […]

I Don’t Want Justice

I have been hurt,I have been robbed,I have been suppressed and intimidated,I have been mangled down by the merciless hand of the oppressor,I have been made a fool of by him that rejoices in holding captive, the bodies and souls of men,I have had to swallow the hard pill of blatant disappointments,Or worse still, put […]

You Too Can Thrive

I saw and was awed,A tomato laden with fruits,Yet it was depending on for nutrients and a firm hold,An impregnable concrete wall,I mean,The tomato grew up in a brick and mortar,Where there is neither ready rich humus,Nor groundwater for her shoot to initiate active transport,Yet it was laden with fruits,Fruits that would sooner look good […]
