Beware Of The Spirit Killers by excadz(m): 2:55am On Apr 12, 2017

Beware of the Spirit killers. They encourage slothfulness.

Have you ever seen someone who lives in a dirt hut with no toilet, running water, or electricity but he has the latest Apple iPhone?

“Yes, plenty. What’s wrong with that”, you may be asking.

Most African countries are lagging way behind the so-called 1st world technologically wise. There are many advantages and disadvantages to such a condition. Most people will even say the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages so it’s all good.

The problem with the Africans depending on 1st world technology is that African people will never get to exercise their Brains by engaging in the creative process. When everything you need in life is provided for you, you become dependent and Slothful. Eventually you become disconnected from the Spirit of Life.

Spirit is the creative force behind the universe. Everything in nature functions using the same Spirit to survive and thrive at all costs.
The world is a harsh environment that if humans were not a creative species we could never have survived this long.

Africans need to put more emphasis on developing our own technologies. When we keep depending on foreign technology those technologies become Spirit killers. That is because it makes us lose our creative instincts and we become Slothful.

Another Spirit killer to beware of is Religion. Religion encourages Africans to depend on Faith through all our adversities. There is drought and starvation, war and violence, and economic and political corruption in every corner of the continent.

All these situations produce psychological trauma in people. We become depressed, fearful, untrusting, and pessimistic about life in general. Without options conscientious people have turned to religion but the only solution that religion offers is to have Faith that god is working on all our problems. When nothing seems to change year after year and decade after decade, our preachers tell us to forget about life and expect a paradise in the after-life.

Faith is fake inspiration that pretends to give life when in actuality; it’s really a Spirit killer. Even if you try to teach religious people how to use religion to prosper it doesn’t work because they are too fooled by Faith. That’s why the only people benefiting from religion are its leaders because only they enjoy all the lavishness’s of life while they’re still living.

Africans need to regain the Spirit of Life. Not many people can see Life. It’s like the “Elephant in the room”. It’s all around us, in the air, the water, and the soil. Life is viruses, bacteria, insects, animals, and the tree. Where do our food and our medicines come from? Life. Stop looking into the clouds and space for a savior and learn to work with Life.

Why is China the most unslothful nation and the least religous at the same time?
