Belief govern feelings Your belief is your sense of being Lions feel no remorse for snatching a baby bufallo from it's mother. Walking upright on two legs with cloths doesn't mean we all are the same. Stay in the circle of reasoning or belief that matches yours. It's not about religion, it's a level in reasoning. Just like many of us here; though we may not use dagger but our reactions to contrary beliefs shows how narrow minded we are. Religions and other form of polarized beliefs are schools for the narrow-minded, it's a stage. It's very unfortunate gory things like this happen but it will still happen. Belief is like a thick veil, a mental chain, it's not easily broken. Law can be late to act and nothing can reverse what has happened. Know what your environment tolerate, forget about freedom of speech; We aren't wiser than the SPACE that accommodates ALL. Don't condemn anything anybody believe, rather, give them gap. If you find yourself among such people, just observe. The lion is not to blame, it's what make lion a carnivore and the bufallo an herbivore. As it is with plants and insects, so it is with animals, including the so called human. Know your caste. |
Career / Re: Is It Your Passion Or You Are Doing This To Just Make A Living? by Magmata: 3:46pm On May 10, 2022 |
When you do what you truely love, money becomes a burden. True passion takes care of most needs that makes money a necessity. It's a feeling that can't be shared, where you are or how you look becomes irrelevant. It's a feeling of satisfaction, no amount of money can bring it. You become immuned to criticism and praises, and simplicity becomes your cloak. Only the gifted will understand; ask the real dancers or artist of imaginations. Money, the fraudulent king rules and the morbid need of it is driving our world into the abyss. Do what you love and set your own standard, don't let societal demand or family pressure steal your happiness for pieces of paper. If your needs are moderate, money will never be a problem. |

Religion / Re: The Man/deity Called God by Magmata: 10:55am On Jul 20, 2021 |
I was privileged to see through the Cascades of falsehood that have condensed into beliefs of different forms. My problem started with the teaching that all non believers in Jesus will go to hell, though I was a christian, I became unsettled. After years of internal struggle, the veil dropped and I started seeing the folly of organised religions and their sick gods. I love the character Jesus and his words I hold so dearly, but again I find it hard to absorb the bogus tales woven around his identity; the core of christianity. Then I realized that Jesus was misunderstood and his words twisted by the same people that murdered him, he was obviously killed out of fear. It's funny how the killing still continues today. My brother, no amount of dogma can stop an awakened soul from rising; no religion can intimidate such spirit. How do you explain colors to a blind man? Why not save your energy for better use, see, "when the pupil is ready, the teacher will appear" An elderly man once told me that "if the caliber of people like Adeboye, Oyedepo, Kumuyi, etc says this is the truth, who am I to say otherwise". I smiled. After all it's my light, why should I bother people with my experience. One thing is to burst falsehood, another thing is to know the truth. People love religions and their associated falsehood because it serves their ego. They need stuffs and a god is needed to take care of them, their spiritual awakening is secondary; Jesus death has taken care of that, what a pity! His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?" Jesus said, "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'Here it is' or 'There it is'. Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and people do not see it." I pray people's eyes be opened to see through the layers of (morbid) sensual cravings that have glued them to falsehood all their life. I pray they will see through the dogmas of lassitude that have stunted their spiritual growth all these years. Each time I remember how confidently I had defended my ignorance in the years past, I can't help but laugh. However, not all knowledge liberates, some are worse than ignorance. May we not be victim of falsehood. 4 Likes |

EmeraldKing7: If you have taken your time to observe (very carefully) what people do to meet up with the so called social upgrade, you will but agree with me that humanity is not improving. Any form of comfort or pleasure that depends on other peoples pain is no improvement. Any form of wealth that depends on others' poverty to thrive is not growth. Look around you and all you'll see is exploitation, a morbid appetite for gain. Do you think we are happier? Yes, automobiles have changed how we move, but the movement; are we truly moving? It's obvious you have no idea the enormity of damage we've done to our combined environment in the name of technology; my brother, it's not what you think. I understand you but talking and communicating aren't the same thing. Two people with different language cannot talk but they can communicate. And, the fact that understanding is lacking in human community shows that we've not been communicating, even if you can call Pluto from here. Yeah, talking is more expensive if we consider the contents of what we often talk about; most of them are blabbing, all noise, no value, they change nothing, they aren't necessary. It's not about monetary cost; it's about value to humanity. Moreover, if you think that gadget in your hand is 100% environmental friendly, you will never reason in my direction. Tell me, are marriages better? is crime reducing? Is poverty disappearing? are we healthier? Our lands, waters and air; are they less toxic? the genetically modified expensive junks we call food, are the nourishing? .. Sir, don't get carried away by all these shining toys, they bring no improvement but enslavement. That you can afford them doesn't mean your life has improved. I know it's hard to criticize what majority seems to be enjoying, but a careful observation will reveal to you that human value is diminishing rapidly. Unfortunately, the downward trend cannot be stopped, but one can be careful to minimize the pain of inevitable collapse when it eventually happened, because it must happen. My Opinion. |

SonofGod231: I don't even know where to start analyzing human stupidity. We have molested the Earth as a result of senseless explorations and experiments. Everywhere is polluted; land, sea, air and even our minds. We've succeeded in destroying what is certain to pursue uncertainty. Or, how do we describe the wasteful Enterprise called space exploration when our known home (Earth) is suffocating? This ugly development is a confirmation that an average man is self-centered. Were it not so, how can an intelligent being mortgage his home to buy a parachute? Some people will say it's their money but I will implore such people to think very deeply. The resources of the Earth is meant for All her inhabitants, and the moment someone take more than his needs is the moment poverty is born. People should wake up, there are too much exploitation going on in the name of making money. If the so called billionaires cannot stop making money, then what they seek is not money; it's something else. |

LebenNG: I have no idea what you're trying to say, but It's obvious you don't understand the simple message in that post of mine. My comment has nothing to do with the narrow topic under which you found it, no sentiment at all, it's just a simple fact that cut across the world of men if you're very observant. Money has no value or any usefulness if there is nothing to buy with it. No amount of money can replace a cup of water when one is thirsty, and the water is not available. No amount of money can save a drowning man if there is no one around to help, even if he's going to pay. Having the keys to the vault of a bank will not save you in the time of famine, but a peasant farmer can help. Being born into this sick system should not totally stop us from periodic reflection. The fact that we need money doesn't mean we should put it where it doesn't belong. How can a man be working his entire life to gain the same thing he invented; what kind of debasement is that? Look around and see for yourself what man is doing to himself; his fellow human being, and his environment just to make money. Can't you see there is a very big problem? I think in terms of basic needs (of life) not all these morbid desires for stupid things that add nothing to human value except systematic enslavement amid morbid competitions. If you can see from my angle, you'll understand how terrible the situation is. However, individual is entitled to a style of thinking. Yes, everyone appears to need money in today's world, but do we really need those things we spend money on. Peace |

Politics / Legalized Terrorism by Magmata: 7:30pm On Jun 06, 2021 |
All weapons are made to intimidate, inflict pain or kill... they have no other functions even when used for self defence or self protection. Someone says that a particular agitating tribes are terrorists because they acquire and use arms illegally. But, what makes an arm legal or illegal if not law, and what's law if not regulation. So, what happens when laws become partial and regulation becomes irregular? If the use or acquisition of arms illegally is considered an act of terrorism, how do we describe legal arms in the hands of bigoted and corrupt security agents? How do we describe government agents with legal arms disrupting election process? What do we call the operation of armed government agents distrupting mass protest against bad governance? ... He who diverts public fund for personal use and he who robbed a bank should be delivered to the same law. But the fact that the so called law appears to be tilted in favour of one thief than the other shows that one thief is more legal than the other; or, one is a legal thief and the other is an illegal thief. How? Is it true that everything government does is for the interest of the masses? Can a government that rides on illegalities to win elections do things legally? what is their motive? what are they defending? Why are they reluctant to adjust the system? why are they against secessionists? why are they stubborn? (I think) what makes a terrorist is not his ideology but his attempts to enforce his idea on others by all means possible. Thus, a terrorist is not necessarily an (illegal) armed individual with flags in an unknown location; he can be a well dressed educated guy anywhere in one of those legal offices legalizing illegalities. What do we call someone whose ideology is for himself alone and all he ask and fight for is to be left alone with is idea? The land on which he stand has been his home for centuries, the experimental marriage is no more working for him, he doesn't like the union anymore, he tried opting out when the marriage was younger but you refused, he's doing it again still you no gree. What exactly is the problem? Now tell me, is there any act of terrorism bigger than the concept called Nigeria? How can any rational entity think that people of diverse cultures, different beliefs and heterogeneous ideology be merged under this kind of system. how will it work? Tell me what it is if not terrorism, when a man is not allowed to live according to his nature and culture. How can you force a flying bird and a cheetah to the same condition of movement in the name of unity. Is that natural? If a man can't choose where and how to live, how is he a living being? Nigeria is an idea, it has no identity on its own, no culture, no language, no nothing. Yet, someone is imposing such abstraction on an established and more natural cultures in the name of one nation. If this isn't terrorism then what is it? If the process is complex it is because we made it so, naturally all things are simple. Both Nigeria government and Biafra agitators are wrong in their approach so far, there is no justification for killing a fellow human being for any purpose no matter how Noble the course is; it is barbaric. But the alien ideology that forcefully keep people together and the human agent through whom it is enforced are the real terrorists here, Yes, Nigeria government is terrorizing a more natural arrangement than the contraption they hold so dear. It is natural that bird of the same feather flock together. Government should tell Nigerians why certain people are being held against their will, if Nigeria is not a cage as those people claimed, how come they can't move? Government should tell us whose interest they are protecting by being this rigid and insensitive; is it for the masses or their personal gain? What exactly does Nigeria stand for that warrants all these bloodshed in the name of keeping it together? For me, the fight between Nigeria government and Biafra is not for the masses, rather, it's an ideology fight laced with greed, selfishness, ignorance,exploitation and stupidity. If not, what are the killings for? Where I am right now is my home and the people around me are my family, I don't know about you. As far as I'm concerned, Human life is sacred, therefore, any ideology that doesn't respect it is sub-human and worthless. Let the killings stop |

No government in the world likes a media platform it can't control, they have the power to ban and unban just like Nairaland mods but they can't stop a stubborn Monika. Twitter deleting Buhari's message is a chance this government has been waiting for since endsars protest. It's not about the deleted message, it's about what's brewing which may likely spiral out of control. Being a new tool for revolution, governments are becoming conscious of two way potency of social media. Therefore, people shouldn't be too surprised if different governments around the world start showing the same symptom. With the help of social media, millions can start a protest at once without a leader; how do you tackle that? Governments (all over the world) are afraid, they know what it means for people to agree, they know the potency of propaganda, they have used it, they know how it works. My only advice to people is to be wary of what they post online in terms of credibility. Propagating unverified claims (for whatever reason) is a symptom of illiteracy; misinforming people to misbehave is a bigger crime than crime itself. Don't say it, don't post it, don't spread it, if it is not true. It's our world and if it collapses, it collapses for all. 2 Likes |
