The world would have been a better place if all are regularly and consistently up and doing. The problem is that we do this today and tomorrow we fail in doing it. How then do we master what we don’t practise consistently?
Also, I have come to understand that everything we do in this world should not be in excess but in moderation. Extremism in anything is bad! If you sleep don’t sleep too much. If you are up make sure you sleep at a point. The fact that God does not like the extreme is embedded in his act of setting limits to everything. The sun will run its course for an appointed time (within the day) and the moon does as well.
The matter of consistency and extremism is most time misunderstood. But these two phenomena should not be misunderstood as they are different as day is to night. If you are consistent in what you do, there is a regular and persistent effort towards mastery of it. However, an extremist does not necessarily master the act upon which he is extreme but delude himself that he is better than others while staying with it with inadequate knowledge.
Consistency makes us look for better ways of doing what we do through the acquisition of new knowledge. Note; if you are doing something and you are not getting better at it, you are definitely getting worst.
For the extremists, what someone says always define their thought and actions, often you hear them say our Pastor or Imam said this and that. Extremists that are ‘poorly educated’ base their own argument on inadequate information which they mistakenly came across majorly through the internet, the inadequate information that might have been adequately manipulated by a less educated person(s).
Any sensitive person knows that anything that does not allow you to grow mentally, spiritually and physically is dangerous; therefore they stay away from it as much as they could. Do not joke with extremism; it is more dangerous than ignorance. It actually turns an educated person to an ignorant. And it also helps in destroying towns and cities. Stay away from extremism, just be consistent.
