Aristotle in his famous saying puts it that 'BEING QUA BEING' meaning Being is being or Being for being. Also the Great existentialist, Martin Heidegger said Being is a thing into death, meaning existence of a being is also a movement towards it's death therefore Being is nothing.

Going from the authorities above, Being is a metaphysical entity that moves in a vicious circle of empty and void purpose. Being is what most see as the essence of existence but this is wrong. I see being in the same light Heidegger sees it. As something that is nothing, that is continually moving towards emptiness.

Since being doesn't have essence on it's own with other things defining him, then Being is JUST nothing. For example, if a child is born today, that child is still a being but what begins to define his beingness is essence and what are these essence? The name he will be given,the language and culture he will learn to give him an identity, the educational line he will toll to make him know things because he came to the world not knowing. So being is actually nothing until these things starts defining him which is the essence. And as the Existentialists will put it "existence precede essence"
This means that for a being to be important, he must exist first before having essence, that he cannot have essence without existing. So the main attribute of a Being is that it must exist. A wood is a being according to my postulation. Humans are beings, cars are beings. All of these are beings because they exist in reality and they all have no purpose without essence, something to give it meaning.

The difference between Humans and Trees or cars under the concept of Beingness, is what Existentialists categorize as Being and being (big Being and small being). This is a discourse for Other day

Jeezz! What kind of bath? The one with bath basin or standing shower?

I personally told my mum that the day she will bath in a bath basin in my sister's house, she wud become my adversary that day because I saw her did once.

She has never gone against the rule. I was so strict about it because I did fall in an hotel bath. As muscular as I was, I couldnt support myself and had headache for one month. I dont do bath basin ever since!

What caused your fall please?

I still can't believe his exit from the face of the earth, even when I did confirmed the sad news myself, heard about his demise yesterday, from a fellow ex-corper that we all served together in the same PPA together with Freeman David. I was so dumbfounded, because that was the saddest news have ever heard in my life! Such a cool, vibrant, brilliant, brave, educator, Philosopher, comedian and enactor of peace has falling and departed this wicked world, remembered the good times we spent together, pictures we took together when we both traveled to conduct election all the way from Yenagoa to Akasa in Brass local govt of Bayelsa state, the good time we spent together in CESS Opolo Corpers Lodge and the pictures we took together on your Pop party, which you sat by my side and I asked you, "David are you not gonna drink anything? and you said all you wanted was water, such a disciplined gentle guy" . He was loved by everyone in the lodge and calls everyone boss, such a humble being, I remembered I told him to stop calling me boss, the last time we chatted on bbm, your dream of becoming one of the topmost ranked officer in the Nigeria army is gone as well. David I will forever remember your words of encouragement and motivation, adieu bro till we meet to part no more.

BlissB I understand that you don't want to dishonor the dead, but please tell me he didn't commit suicide so that I can stop this noise in my head.
Adieu David

RIP Freemanan

Rip Freeman.

May God grant you eternal rest.

He just slip.. Fell.. And died?


Shiit! Why are we born in the first place if this is how we gonna go?

Aren't you happy that you are born?
To enjoy sights, sounds, sea, breeze, air etc etc?
You were born to solve a particular world problem or leave the earth a better place than you met it.
To love even those who do not deserve it, or appreciate you for it, or repay you for it.
If you donot repent and go back to your Maker to find out what that purpose of your life is, life may always seem menaingless.
