Literature › Never Too Late To Start Caring by AustinBlinks(op): 11:26pm On Jun 21, 2015 |
"Rip Mary" was heading. Written in bold,dark Italic letterings with a picture of a girl who had a smile on her face. There was something about the picture that makes it look as though she was staring back at you. She had a beautiful Smile, a dimple, thick eye brows that highlighted her almond shaped eyes. The picture was perfect, a face with no blemish, a white dentition glowed beneath her small mouth, a pointed nose, a round face, protruding jaw line... everything was so perfect except that the girl in it was dead and i knew nothing about her.
I knew her as a colleague in school, she was a quiet one, always aloofing from the rest of the class. She hardly says hello but she would reply with a beautiful Smile whenever you greet her and disappears before you could say another word. I never knew her name until now that she's dead. Many said she was the nicest girl they've ever met, alot more said she could never hurt a fly and there i was staring at her picture, wondering why i was classmates with someone for 3 years and i knew nothing about her. I wished i was her friend, i wished i had spoken to her more often, i wished i had walked her to the park the day i saw her walking home alone. Maybe there was something i could have said or done to have stopped her from committing suicide.
I'm not the only one, we all are guilty of this. We are all too busy with ourselves we forget other people exists to. We see life as a race and each one of us needs to outrun the other, we fail to realise we all have different finish lines and no one gets to your finish line except you.
You have a thousand friends on social medias whom you give your likes to but not your love, chatting with someone a thousand miles away but won't say hello to the person sitting next to you in a bus. We leave in a world where people call you a freak for trying to start a conversation with a random person on the streets.
"Be there for your friends and they'll be there too but no one will be if a group message will do" (Gary Turk). It is now too late for me to be friends with Mary but it is not too late to ask my neighbor how his day was or start a conversation with the next person i share a cab with. It's never too late to share my mind with Joe, my classmate, his words could save me from making a bad choice, it's never too late to pick up my phone and call my long time friend to ask how he's been fairing since the last we talked. It's never too late to tell someone about what i admire most in them because i don't want to be staring at their picture and wishing i had known them better nor do i want a bunch of strangers at my funeral who knows nothing about me.
Tell someone how you feel , call someone else and ask how they're doing, Start a conversation with someone because life is too short and everyone knows no one likes to be alone. Stop the music, remove those headphones and join the conversation. Laugh with the clique, play outdoor games and stop living like a zombie around other people. It's never too late to give someone your love because we all have finite number of days. It's never too late to make friends because the best social media is not internet connected, it's the eye contact we make, the touch we give and the Smile we put on people's faces. It is never too late.

ROSSIKE: Shut up there. Are you typing your rubbish from a collapsed house? How do you know houses did not collapse back then? Because you saw ONE surviving house that's been renovated countless times? DUNCE. You know if you have serious mentality issues you should try and take it out on your family members not strangers. If your block headed self does not know how to address people then you better remain in your dungeon and whimp about your collapsing personality. If my comments bothers you next time kindly scroll away not show to me what a pathetic and uncommon lunatic that you are. Bollock |

Christianity Etc › Re: If Christ Is The True Only Way To Heaven, What Of These People ?? ( Must Read) by AustinBlinks(m): 3:34pm On May 31, 2015 |
Chinaimporter: [b][size=13pt]the story of christ is filled with ancient lies and so are the stories of all other prophets and gods,be he christ, mohammed, budda, shango etc.i dont know how a people of this modern age can still belive this fairy tale stories just becus it was brought to us by the whites.....every religion claims to be the truth and god says he loves us and we must love him back and if we dont, he will put us in hell, i always wonder which kind of love that is and i know only a blood thirsty villan would act like that.
Of all the gods in the world, that of the bible is the most stupid, mad and deranged and i sincerly will never accept him, if salvation is only gotten through him,i choose to go to hell rather than be a slave to such a wicked beast
A beast that would send a bear to eat 52 children for laughing at a bald elijah. A beast that would drown a whole world that he claim to love and made in his image A beast that would sanction the massacre rape and murder of women and children by moses. A beast who build the most horrifying torture chamber to torture those he claim to love because they couldnt belive in him. A beast that tolorated slavery. A beast that watched jephtah sacrify his daughter to him as his promise if he wins a war. A beast that watched the sacrifing of his only begotten son so that he could forgive man by grace. A beast that watch over all the suffering of the world and does nothing to ameliorate it
I refuse to worship you, you ethernal beast and vile creator, no wonder other angel supported satan in his bid to overthrow you despotic ass........i have chosen my side if the armagadon is ever true....i will ride with lucifer on that day against you army and this time i know we will succeed and put you in the bottomless pit that you created for your beloved ones[/b]s.[/size][/b] Good boy.... You have chosen to be with Lucifer... I pray you get everything you wished for and the other Naive ones who liked your post. Have a nice life |

kastonkastrol: you are obviously crazy. Was the useless reasons you listed above responsible for the fuel scarcity nigerians are currently facing ?
didn't you hear when okonjo said pipeline Vandalism, logistics and not payment of claims to marketers were solely responsible for the untold hardship nigerians are currently facing? Most of you pdp roaches are just impossible. I have never seen any1 as foul mouthed as you are in my entire life. what's wrong with you? were you brought up in a dungeon or animal kingdom? All your comments are always about insulting people and calling them names. If you cannot say something good about some1 then shut the hell up. Someone need to train you Seriously and Quickly. |

Billygee2u: like founder like folowers, foundation of everything matters ,just try to find out about the origin of islam right from Bible, who is Ishmeal? then ,how did Islam started? Islam was founded by a son born by a servant in the Bible. That's why you people keep fighting for God like he can't fight for himself. You see yourselves as God's servant, Christians see ourselves as God's children. |

rman: Is he the one that made the posters? You will not accept the truth even if it hit you in the face. All religion have fake worshipers. The way we have fake pastors, there are also lots of Imams who do fetish things so this is not a matter of someone saying a religion is false based on some selected idiots. There are no good or bad religion only good Or bad people. |
