Place Of Birth, On A Serious Note: Why? by sarmy(m): 1:53pm On Aug 22, 2009
Place of Birth, on a serious note: Why?

Recently, I heard of this joke and will like to share it here for your comments:

A baby was born into one family in a suburban part of Lagos, he cried from day one non-stop, and not knowing what else to do, the parent called all known powerful men of God to come and pray so the baby could stop crying, all to no avail

After two week, they decided to call a native doctor who asked them if they knew one “Adara” meaning “it shall be well” by name, they answered the man died 3 years ago; he had no money, no wife, no child, and very poor as church rats “of those days”

The native doctor told them “Adara” is back again, before he died, he wished never to come back to this part of the world if he would ever come back, unfortunately when he arrived this time, he thought he was born in a different society until night came, no light and when they luckily brought it, he saw many unfortunate black faces, it dawned on him he’s back to where he left “world of the privileged few”

This baby will not stop cry - he said, and until he has cried and cried to death nothing will stop him. [end of joke]

Now, considering many African children suffering from war, corruption, poverty and etc, you will agreethat the following questions and many more are not unreasonable

1. What determines where one is born?

2. Why is one born into a rich family and some into poor homes?

3. What if a child would have preferred being born into a different home or society?

4. Why would a child be judged when he did not know how he came to be and some issues will remain as mystery until then?

5. What if everything ends here on earth and only this once, can we say that whoever or whatever caused man to be may not have done enough to cater for the unprivileged in society?

Thanks for your inputs,
