While there are people in this world who believe nothing in this life is worth saving, there are people who will believe otherwise. And while there are people who feed themselves with a porous mentality of nothing in the actual sense of nothing is what dying for in this world, there exist still people who believe everything in the actual sense of everything is worth just that. There is this category of people who believe against all odds of reasoning and senses there are things in this life that are still worth dying for, worth saving, and worth protecting. There are people who believe that for whatever reasons that may be, silvers should never be bargained for gold. For those that don’t, there is little close to nothing I can say. But for those that do, the following are things that are probably going to make their list.



REPUTATION


The pride of a man is in his name and his honour in the reliability of his words. A good number of times we have heard people, friends, families and neigbhours come to a boiling point where they rise up and say: “This, I can take no more.” This is because the reputation of a man is his best shot at success and relevance in this world we live in. A man that has his reputation soiled has nothing if anything in common with trustworthiness, respect, and relevance. This is why in daily living we continue to see people from all walks of life writing rejoinder and releasing press statements debunking a particular rumour or acknowledging a particular fact in the name of saving their reputation. This is why more than ever people go about saying “I do not do this” despite the fact people understand such things cannot fall into their laps. Given the undeniable fact that reputation as antecedents remains the prime target of character defamation and assassination, it is that possible that it makes the list of what is worth protecting.



FAMILY


Next to the reputation of a man will be his family. I have never seen a man who attaches less value to his family than he attaches to his own breathe. A poor man having nothing we still bet his own life for his family if that’s the last thing he does on earth. Even a drug dealer will still say: “Do anything you want to do man, but don’t you come near my family. If you do, I swear I am going to kill you”. A politician will do the same, likewise an arm robber. For those who have one, family can be everything. And like someone once said, for love I can do anything, but for family I will do everything. I say family should make it to this list.


RELIGION


Depending on the culture and background one of the things people will bank their life on will be their parents. Most religions teaches taking responsibility for ones parents at such an old age. Any attempt to prevent this from happening can therefore be expected to be met with a very fierce resistant, unpleasant fierce resistant. You may mess with some people’s reputation, take a flinch at their family, but try it with their parents and you will be the world luckiest man of all time. Take that as an irony.


LOVER


I don’t know about you, but I think my girl will make my list. You see you don’t get to mess with her. You don’t get to talk things about her. And you don’t get to disrespect her. And this if I’m right will be the same for every guy who sees a lady for what she is. Nobody loves to be disrespected. Disrespecting a man’s lady is disrespecting that man himself. I have not seen, and don’t think I will ever see a man who will take his lady for granted. I mean his lady for granted, not his, well, you understand what that means.



THE MIND


I quite don’t know about you, but that’s one thing above everything I guard with all my mental consciousness. You can say that’s because I’m a writer, a poet and a thinker; that will be right but not completely right. I do not see a businessman crossing the boundary of success in any time visible with a confused mind. Neither do I see a philosopher making anything out of life with a perturbed mind. I still cannot imagine a successful leader without a clear mind to call his friend, neither do I imagine a best of all time artist with a crippled mind. The mind is really, really and really priceless a treasure too valuable to be measured in worth. And people of prospect will consider it worth protecting.


SECRETS


Indulge me in listing this but I think it’s readily obvious. Secrets are personal and thus need constant guarding and protecting. As a loaded guy in a city of beauties, you won’t probably want to let that lady of incomparable beauty know of your involvement with the new girl down the street, neither will you want the girl down street to know you are taken and owned by the lady of incomparable beauty, hence and hence the need to have a sealed room of no invitation in the mansion of your heart. I seriously do not think anything classed secrets will be left unguarded to be divulged.



MONEY


You are damn well so right. M…O…N…E…Y money, is the only thing capable of rendering this post incomplete. Everything a man does on earth he does for the money. Going to school, acquiring a skill, learning a trade, doing a trade, signing a deal, releasing an album, writing a book, being a Linda Ikeji, even leadership these days. I have heard a lot of people say they can die for the money, and when they say it, there is no questioning the seriousness in their voice. A typical Nigerian politician is a good example to this exemplary mental erosion. A hooker may however be a better example: you try and rob her of her money and see what I mean by delving into the rocks. If anything comes first, many will place money before everything worth protecting. I don’t think I do for now, but maybe I will one day. Who knows.
