Health › Re: Turning 30 And Feeling Depressed! by NoContract(m): 8:03pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
BankoleNco: Hey guys, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I'd go ahead and post here as it is related to health (depression). Well, I don't want to bore you with long sermon-esque writings, so I'd skip the fancy stuff and go straight to the point. I'd be turning 30 mid next year and its really eating me up! I feel depressed and old! Its been giving me sleepless nights and middle of the night insomnia I wake up 4.00 am for no reason nowadays and just stare at the ceiling lost in thought and scared as hell with thoughts of being in the twilight of my youth, knowing I'd have to get married pretty soon, just 10 years away from 40, no more clubbing, no more spontaneous Saturday drives. The worst part is I spent MOST of my teenage and youth life in self development and didn't have time to indulge in some most of the activities attached to youthful exuberance.Its paid off, yes! But, I AM DEPRESSED right now!  Did any of you guys currently 30 and above experience same? Would really help if someone said something. *sigh* OK.
I feel you work in a bank.

Career › Re: It Is A Fallacy That No Knowledge Is a Wasted one by NoContract(m): 8:00pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
Serendipity: It becomes foolhardiness and unbecoming when we are unreasonably obstinate to the extent that we fail to admit the truth. = I stated unequivocally, that one had better acquire knowledge that there is high possibility of one using. In everything there is an opportunity cost, the opportunity cost of acquiring the knowledge of Spanish is that knowledge of Hausa language I would have acquired which will now be forfeited. = Now, there is a possibility that I will get to use the knowledge of Spanish, but the possibility is lesser than that of Hausa given that If would go abroad, definitely, it wouldnt be to a Spanish country. Or what's the possibility of my serving as an interpreter? = THE OPERATIVE WORDS HERE ARE: the possibility of using the knowledge.
== At certain point those days, I wanted to buy a Piano and then get a trainer, but on mature reflection, it became clear, that the possibility of my using that is infinitesimal and that it would be more politic to choose something that will have bearing on my life. And I did. = It is better to use my time judiciously in acqisition of knowledge that use it in nugatory things. = Now how do you reconcile the example of Pitman Shorthand that I cited with your rejoinder? We have a sick intellectual fuc.ker here, ala Sheldon Cooper (the big bang theory, anyone) I want to be your friend [s]even though I don't follow with your line of reasoning based on knowledge garnering of course.[/s] You're on BBM or Whatsapp? Oh, and btw, I'm not a graduate if it makes any sense to you. |

mesoade: My own God has commanded me.
Thou shalt not kill
when abraham was taking isaac to d altar,he knew God will never let him kill his child and if he killed is child,he would provide another one for him, THIS IS THE BEST DEFINITION OF FAITH
1corinthians 1:18, for the message of the cross is to them that perish foolishness,but unto us which are saved,it is the power of God You didn't answer the question. From your response, you quoted the bible, which suggests you're a christian. Please answer the question |

Christianity Etc › Would You Kill Your Only Child as a Sacrifice, If Asked By Your God? by NoContract(op): 9:16am On Oct 04, 2014*. Modified: 9:37am On Oct 04, 2014 |
Ok, so I was going through wiki for the significance of the Eid el-Kabir and here's what I found:
Significance
-Commemoration of Ibrahim (Abraham)'s willingness to sacrifice his young first-born and only son in obedience of a command from God
-Marks the end of the annual Hajj to Mecca.
Now, I would like to ask every Christian and Moslem on Nairaland, or whoever believes or think the (attempt to) sacrifice Isaac (Isiak) in the holy books was ethical:
Would you kill/sacrifice your only child, if asked by your God, without no idea if it's a test or not? Yes or no?
Do you consider your answer morally acceptable (within the confines of religion or lack-of)?
Constructive criticism please.

Let's see the quality of pictures that will be posted here. I wouldn't be suprised to see pictures shot with blackberries and the likes. After all, na Nigeria we dey. However, it will be a good thing if a professional photog was actually paid to cover the event, or whatever it is. By the way, I reside in Ibadan and there is no aura of celebration in the air even though tomorrow be Ileya. It's still zinc roofs and susperstitious people everywhere, for the largest city in West Africa. I'm Nigerian and this picture was shot on an blackberry curve 3.

basille: For some time now i have been having the same thought (especially the physical meeting aspect) for fellows with similar views. Yea it gets lonely sometimes (in a religiously crazy country like this where stigmatization is common ), and i would love to engage in intellectual discussions with like minds. I'm currently schooling in Awka, Anambra State and would like to become part of such organisation (distance problem). A problem for this organisation is that anybody can pose as an atheist and be welcomed.
