Ikilo 2: 1-22


Chapter Two
1. Your time on earth can be made sweet by observing these golden rule:
2. Do not commit bad occurrences to mind, having grudge against nature or God for not preventing it.
3. Do not bear the burden of the whole world upon your own mind, losing joy over the fact that you cannot take away all the pains of the world from humanity.
4. Do not get very hurt emotionally when you see the gullible humans being cheated of their hard earned money by their priests and shepherds.
5. Do not fear any scary story told by thousands of people, saying, there are demons and aliens who shall come to destroy humanity.
6. Do not get addicted to alcohol and smoking to such an extent that you harm yourselves internally and externally.
7. Do not see any old woman as a witch even when ten herbalists and priests and Pastors have told you that she is a witch. For ideas are like waves, therefore the ideas and opinion that she is a witch could have been unconsciously passed from head to head around the time when you seek the help of such people.
8. And they all say the same thing concerning your innocent aged mother or grandmother.
9. Do not fear before going to sleep, so that you could avoid nightmares.
10. Do not take whatever you see in your dreams at their literal values when they are scary. But seek for the meaning of your dream from the right source. For many humans have died in their sleep when they dreamt of cats. Therefore do not involve your hearts in the dreams you have upon your bed. For the dream of seeing a cat does not mean anything spiritual, therefore it should not be demonized.
11. Do not worry over what you do not have at the moment. But put what you have together to achieve what you want.
12. Start saving one-tenth of your income as soon as you become a working class. Do not save this in the bellies of the priests or the pastors of sheep. But save it in the safe or in the bank rather. For he who saves a thousand Naira each month for ten years shall have #120,000 in his bank account to make do. But he who saves his own money in the potbelly of a pastor shall sooner or later come back to weep and regret at the time when he shall be enlightened.
13. Do not fantasize or imagine an afterlife where the bad people shall be condemned to the fire forever. For such afterlife illusion shall cause your mind to fear often, judging God as evil.
14. But know that such afterlife exists only in the imaginations of the evil gods and their followers only. And some of them shall see those afterlifes they have imagined and cry like Koala bears for nothing.
15. Do not take your opponents in football and other sport games as your real life enemy. For if you all support the same football or sport team, how then shall life be made sweet?
16. Be emotional when a player at the game dies upon the pitch. For the only thing which unites the world is sport and not religion. Therefore put your emotions in it, but do not die of it through heart attacks.
17. Do not worry over what you cannot do, but work upon what you can do until you have become a master in it.
18. Do not frown more than you laugh in a day. And do not have a sadistic view of life.
19. Love the world and the good things that are inside it. Make the world better than you met it, rather than hating the world and then making it worse than you met it. For you cannot make anything better if you dislike it.
20. Have fun games to play to keep away boredom. Play chess and scrabble and other games to be invented in the future to build your mental strength.
21. Do not waste your energy cursing and imagining death for your enemies or those who stole your belongings. Rather, take your mind off what has been stolen and think of how you shall replace it, rather than crying over spilled milk.
22. See your fellow humans as a god and love them.
