We're told that Antarctica is empty, but nobody can go there to actually verify because we're told the government is protecting people from dying of cold...
But they're not protecting people from climbing mountain Everest or any other dangerous activities.
Hahahahaha

It won't work successfully. It's short-sighted.

NYSC Reform (my Suggestions)
https://www.nairaland.com/8555582/nysc-reform-suggestions

BarrElChapo:
I was thinking about it the other day and making NYSC a mandatory requirement to getting a corporate job in Nigeria is BS

I'm in a hurry and I wouldn't want to rush this. Stay tuned

What would you do if it were you?
Lol. You'll understand this question after watching

First, it feels so depressing to find a movie that you think would be great or inspiring—probably because you fell in love with the trailer, or the movie poster, only to find out half way into the 2h30 minutes movie that it's urrggghhhh...
Data wasted...
Time wasted...
Trust betrayed. Lol. Now you have a phobia for catchy movie posters or trailers. Once bitten, twice shy.
But what if I'm here to tell you that you don't have to be bitten at all?

Once upon a time in my life, I was a greedy lover of movies. Greedy in the sense that I indulged In watching movies at the expenses of the producers...the movie team. I'm talking about piracy, in case you're confused.
Most of the movies I wanted, I got...wherever I could.
But, I'm not all that now. Freedom comes with its limitations, and I've understood the harm of piracy so much that I feel guilty watching or downloading pirated movies. This doesn't mean my knowledge about the pirated movies I've watched has to waste.
I'll share with you movies that I guarantee will be worth your precious time and data.
Buckle up.

Adding some flesh to the original post:

i) In paragraph 3, I write about 'needless artificiality'. This should hint to you, my dear reader, that in a corner of my mind, I subscribe to artificiality, but not the needless ones. I use bathing soaps—a product made by man, not nature in the strictest sense—like rocks, or mountains or vegetables, you know. It's a necessary artificiality. But I also hinted at the fact that although I do use soaps, I'm ever watchful to the ingredients used in the soaps. Soaps and their surprising pH which drifts further from the skin normal pH because of a particular group of ingredients. Interesting, right.
Also, you'd prefer to eat rice and vegetables, compared to only white rice. That's an example of 'needful artificiality'

I've come to understand that it's necessary to combine ingredients or rather chemical elements, for 2 reasons

a) to get the pure form of an element, which aren't stable in its pure form, so nature had to combine it with other elements to achieve stability
b) to create new elements

ii) At the end of paragraphs 4, I wrote "Mind you, the opposite of ‘what is’ could be ‘what isn't’, not its absence"
To read more about this concept, here's a link: Truth Is Not Less Lie, Man Is Not Less Woman, Courage Is not less fear https://www.nairaland.com/8757091/truth-not-less-lie-man

iii) I'd still want NYSC to be made optional, regardless

In most Indian movies that I've watched—especially those of old like Krishna, Main Hon Na, Kabhi Khushi Khabie Gham, Kal Ho Naa Ho etc did not kiss, and I learnt a whole lot from them. Like...a whole lot about Family, Love, Life, Parenthood...

Is the kissing or sexual scene that necessary to pass a message?

What truly is Beauty?
When you say something is beautiful, what do you actually mean?
That it looks pleasing to your eyes?
or is there something which words cannot describe—an energy you feel whenever you're around that 'something'?

What really is beauty? How can one ever attempt to describe this overwhelming feeling of joy and completeness with mere words? With 26 alphabets?
Others have tried and others will still keep trying to explain beauty. https://www.nairaland.com/8087005/true-meaning-beauty
Here, I dare to make another attempt.

What does beauty mean to me, Reverse Engineer?
I'll say Beauty is a life force that is carried by any natural body by virtue of it being natural or not drifted to ‘needless artificiality’. I'll explain this point later in this post.
Beauty is that which hasn't been touched and corrupted by egocentric mankind—still natural, simple or functional in the form in which it was made by the creator.

That explanation above might sound confusing, and I'll explain in detail, mostly using scenarios, so that you can have a comprehensive understanding of what is and what is not. Mind you, the opposite of ‘what is’ could be ‘what isn't’, not its absence

Beauty is natural. Beauty is simple and functional.
Anything which is simple and natural are mostly still in the state in which they were created, and haven't been contaminated by we humans basking in our ego.

I served in Ekiti state as a corper—Ikere Local Government area to be precise, and boy o boy, the energy there, especially during the rainy season when I was in the NCCF family house at Abete. It was positively overwhelming. Most days, I felt like I was in a dream world.
At first, I struggled with the concept of being forced by the Federal Government to go love another tribe, but when I surrendered that resistance and eased into my new environment, I was reborn.
Words aren't enough to explain the raw energy of the wonderful people I met, the mountain—all those natural rocky formations, the green vegetation littered everywhere, the animals, especially those goats and chickens—how they play around and make those funny noises, especially during their mating period, the simple lifestyle of the indigenes—their clothings, the easibility and comfort I felt walking up to new faces.
The last time I felt like that was when I was young and I found out some girls crushed on me in primary/secondary school, which was years ago. This time distinction is quite important as you'll see later on.

What's the essence of that personal scenario up there?
Well, I stayed in Lagos basically all my life, and I RARELY, if not ever experience that kind of feeling from being in Lagos. The basic forms of nature I likely experience in Lagos are the green moss I find on the walls of some lucky gutters, or from the decomposition of waste in trash bins. Nature is nature, right?
Looking back, I understand why I felt like that in Ekiti, but not in Lagos, even in delta, on the island where I schooled— beauty is tied to simplicity, functionality and being natural.
The mountain formations in Ekiti still feel natural because they haven't been ‘worked upon’ by those looking to create a tourist attraction around it.
The waters surrounding the island of the university I attended in Delta are littered with oil. The beauty of the water —that natural, almost overwhelming feeling you're supposed to get when around a natural waterbody has been affected by one effect of mankind—nonchalant oil exploration.

Look at animals for example. Haven't you noticed that a cat, puppy or any other pet you happen to love, aren't wearing a designer bag or perfume, nor did they shave their fur or whiskers, for you to like them?
I love cats. The ones I've encountered weren't on any Prada perfume or forms of artificiality which were not functional. These cats have the natural smell of a pussycat, they meow in a language which I don't understand as a human, lol, yet, regardless of these language or clothing barriers, I still feel attracted to cats. They owe me nothing, except the true forms of their nature which they're expected to exude, and they did lovingly. That's beauty being simple and natural.

Beauty also is functional. It must serve an integral, unmistaking purpose. Sadly, the purpose of most natural creations haven't been fully known or accepted by mankind.
A coat of many colors is nice, but why wear it under the scorching sun, especially when it's made with heavy material?
What's the essence of POP that people use for their house ceiling? Don't tell me it looks good to your eyes. What's its functional application to your building? Without a foundation, your house cannot stand—same applies to the metal rods you use. Without stairs or elevators, the top floors of your or any buildings will be inaccessible. Without spacious and strategic windows, your house won't be properly ventilated. Now back to POP—what is its functional use in your house. Don't tell me. Tell yourself.

You have to thoroughly understand what beauty is, so that you don't confuse it with fine-looking. The purpose of using a bathing soap is to make my body clean enough to smell naturally fresh. So why then do bathing soaps include fragrance into their ingredients? To prevent me from smelling myself to know if I've done a good job of properly cleaning up? Or does the chemical composition of that added fragrance strategically serve as a binding agent to non-desirable chemical after-effects in the soap itself?
“But the soap has a nice fragrance so it should be effective”
Meaning all dwarfs have dwarf joysticks? (Lol. Credit to Tyrion Lannister for that one)
There's fine-looking and there's beautiful (Functional, natural or simple)
I go to houses and I see artificial flowers—made from plastics. What's the purpose there?
Is its purpose natural and simple or functional?
The roads constructed look beautiful, until you start to see dent/cracks after a year, followed by your shock absorbers overworking themselves in ways that would trigger you to work stressful jobs to be able to “afford the lifestyle you want” which instead…(you just want to have the money to buy shock absorbers. Don't deceive yourself. Hahaha)...could have been avoided. Then you begin to ask yourself why the engineers responsible for such ugly constructions are going scot free. Are your laws beautiful?

Is it beautiful for a phone or any engineering/gadget/technological company to purposely sabotage the functionality of a model of their output, just so they can continuously release models after models to trigger consumerism in the vain masses, thereby driving people to work twice as hard to be able to afford a sabotaged product of which a new version will be out in a few months?

The price of authenticity is attachment. To be original and true to yourself, you have to be willing to let go of something or someone or people who aren't comfortable with your originality. Nokia understands this—I do too, and it is one of the reasons why iPhones don't freak me out. Also, they're not functional in my life at this time, and I'm not going to be pressured to own it because others are using it. I'm typing this post with a tecno spark 7. When I get the money, I'll upgrade to a Xiaomi with fast charging, good storage and good battery. That's beauty to me. I believe a phone with such an upgrade will come with a befitting camera. Simple. I could go for a nokia Android, but you all know that a phone with a good market base = availability of spare parts and influx of versed phone engineers which cripples specialisation and reduce the price of phone repairs, when needed.

Nokia closed up shop because the masses are terribly forgetting what beauty is. There's even popular memes that compare Nokia phones to Thor’s Hammer, lol, because of its strength and durability, even on accidental impact with the ground. Can you say the same for your trending high-end phones?
Nokia is a beautiful phone company who, from what I can see, are true to themself. They know their core value and they live with it—they embody it, because the word has been made flesh, or rather, the word(their values) have been made company, this time, despite the fact that they can actually tilt to the side of ugliness, since they have a household name to back themself up, but gun to the head of Nokia—don't breathe or get shot—Nokia made a choice.

This institutional/systematic ugliness goes deeper. Look at your songs and movies of old. If you're a sensitive person, you'll notice that you cannot compare the energy of the early 2000s to now. The energy was alive…damn. Words aren't enough to describe.
Then, I'll watch those Indian movies (Krishna, Main Hon Na, Kabhi Khushi Khabie Gham, Kal Ho Naa Ho etc) as a child and I'll be so filled with a kind of happiness that words fail me in describing. Even the songs of old…screen the lyrics. Listen to them. You'll notice a huge difference to what's being released today. Sometimes feels terribly off with the general consciousness of today.
Humanity has embraced ugliness and it's depressing in my opinion. If the foundation is faulty…

Entry No 3:The Absence of Straight lines in nature and its effects on mans creation
There are no straight lines in nature, and please don't confuse this with man-made buildings or ancient man-made artifacts/structures that are quite obvious that man created, when you Google search.
So what's the concept behind the creation of rectangular solar panels? To capture sun rays that DO NOT MOVE IN STRAIGHT LINES with straight-lined solar panels?

What about your freezers? What's the concept behind the creation of cuboid freezers? What aren't there cylindrical freezers?

Say the road speed limit set by the law is 70km/h, punishable if broken. But you're carrying a woman heavily in labor in your back seat. Would you still be that law abiding citizen?

You saw an edible vegetable growing by the roadside. You're hungry but you're afraid to pluck and eat because you're scared that you don't know the owner of the vegetable. Ask yourself, who owns the road? The Government?
Then write a standard petition to the government enclosed in brown envelope and stamped asking for permission to pluck the vegetables to eat. Good luck with the upcoming burial.

Two rival counties, say Asama and Riyah, have been at war for decades, because it was generally believed that a general of Asama allegedly poisoned the king of Riyah during a friendly banquet. This led to series of wars that ended countlessly lives and caused untold damages. After all the blood shed, the 2 countries saw the effects of their wars and decided it was time for peace. They decided, finally to drop their arms and surrender to love, because the hate and its effects were devastating to both parties. Peace was finally achieved after several meetings, reforms and strategic partnerships.
Later, by chance, you, my dear reader, stumbled upon a most overwhelming of secrets—that it wasn't the general of Asama that poisoned the King of Riyah, but instead it was one of his wives who grew jealous of the King's 'infidelity' and decided to kill him. She believed that if she couldn't have the king all to herself, then nobody else should.
Now, what would you do with this secret that you've just discovered? Remember, you seem to be the only one who knows of this.
What exactly would you do? Reveal it to the world and risk another series of bloodshed and destruction,
or keep your mouth shut and take that secret to the deepest parts of your grave?
************

Some rushed in here to read thinking they can learn an excuse for hurting others while others genuinely were curious to learn and grow positively, all because the title said "You know the truth to become good liars", but who told you that an absence of truth equals lie?
Yes. the opposite of truth is lie, but does opposite equals absence?
If you place a cup of hot tea on your table, after a while, does it become freezing cold or not?
Why doesn't it freeze, since you have falsely been made to believe that the opposite and absence of hot is cold. So why is the hot cup of tea now warm instead of freezing cold?

You know the truth to become good liars, but after absorbing the content of this post, you now ask yourself, what's a lie and what's the truth? Who's innocent and who's guilty. By virtue of you taking that devastating secret to your grave, does it make you guilty? Should it make you feel guilty. Question yourself.
Was the truth necessary to be revealed at that point in time, just because you knew it?
Do this, don't do that. Follow this person, don't follow that person. This religion is supreme, others aren't. A truthful person should tell the truth always, right? A liar lies always. Where's the middle ground? Where's grey? Who made you the judge, huh?

What is the essence of these rules, laws, decrees that we created to govern us? What purpose exactly do they serve? Where do they hinge on? What's their root? Freedom/Liberty/freewill growth?
All laws are to be made to selflessly improve and safeguard the quality of lives and property, so where did the laws that enables its opposite—killing, like the death penalty, comes from? Where does the law of death by hanging and lethal injection come from? Where do soldiers come from? Are we so smart that we've exhausted all options?
How rigid have we become?
We so much cling unto the past that the future, although quite visible, have been shut off from our vision by ourselves.
Even now, the law keeps changing—evolving and becoming deceptive at that. There are laws for owning a house, a car, for an employer, an employee, for having a bank account, for owning a SIM card... Even the legislative, executive and judiciary—those entrusted with safeguarding and discharging the law—purposely twist the wordings/meanings so that the average man can get confused and end up on the fault side of this same law which was supposed to protect us from the ill-intentioned others and from ourselves, if at all. There is a sabotage. What do you do now? Whom or where do you look to?

Now I leave you with this: In certain extreme circumstances, the law is inadequate. In order to shame the inadequacy of the law, it is necessary to act outside of it to pursue natural justice, either as a correction, or as a necessary deviation.

Part 2: Attack but also defend; Block but also replace

I walked past a tall guy—and he's quite taller than me. Before, I'd have looked for his imperfections and highlight them mentally, to make myself feel good. lol For example, probably he could be tall but without a handsome face, or I'd notice his worn out shoes or funny beards etc. That's an example of ego thinking built on arrogance—and i still catch myself doing such...i catch myself. But a thinking that transcends ego would be like this: I'd see the tall guy. I'd mentally acknowledge his height, and I could even throw a complement like "This guy is really tall. Nice"— and that's all. Simple. I did not try to put him below me by highlighting any of his presumed imperfections so I could 'rise above'. I just observed with my brain ego mechanics shut off, and replaced ego thinking with pure facts/thinking wrapped in love instead. Any complement I'm to give in that situation would have to be genuine —something real that I fancy, if not, that'd be Pride —another ego mechanics that makes egocentric people invulnerable to receiving or giving love, because if a complement is not genuine, it doesn't come from a place of love/being truthful to yourself/vulnerability. You can find an explanation to what I mean by this in the link I attached to the original post.

It's all in your head: Shutting off the Brain

A child walks past an elderly man and says nothing. Shouldn't a respectful child have greeted? Now the elderly man is offended: he feels he's too small for that child not to have noticed him and pay homage. What are children of today turning into? No home training, no manners, no respect. Nothing. He is drawing towards an understanding now. It's not that he was too small for the child to notice; he actually was big—too big for the whole world not to notice him in his grand likeness. It was just that the child was a mannerless person. Lol

Now let's lift the veil about why this mannerless child didn't greet his elder.
Before now, were you aware that that child lost his mother—the only parent he had left a few weeks ago and is now returning to school after days of crying his eyes out. Nothing seems to make sense to him anymore. He just feels terribly isolated now. He walked past that elder, all soaked up in himself, thinking about his loss and how he would manage to settle in the house of his mother's sibling—whom he hardly knew about and had just adopted him.

What exactly is going on?
Are we still talking about this same pitiful child, or are we now talking about "that mannerless somebody with no respect in the world for his elders"

The old man thought. But was his thinking aligned with reality? Was it aligned with love flowing from himself to others?
Where actually does thought come from? From a heart of love, or from a brain clouded by ego?

Your thoughts could be right, but how often is your thinking aligned to reality?
How often do you associate your thoughts to who you are?

We look, but we don't see, because most times when we look, we use the lens of the ego, which only blurs our seeing, similar to how that old man in the story above internalized an insult that wasn't given. He forcefully took an insult which wasn't given by way of thought!
An airplane passenger thinks the flight attendant likes him sexually, because she smiled at him—a thought which originates in him thinking he can always be liked by everyone.
Someone buys perfume and roll on for you on your birthday, and you assume that the person thinks you have body odor. Lolzz
Imagine when the person then adds toothpaste.
You were invited to an event at the last minute, you overlook the fun and connections you are likely to have, and tell yourself “these people don't rate me. Who do they think I am, that they couldn't invite me from the very beginning!”
Someone you barely know buys an iPhone 16 for you on your birthday, and you think he would want to ask for sex next—probably because you think that gift is too expensive for someone to give a person like you without expecting anything from you. You could have just collected the gift and expressed your fear of not meeting up to any future demands. “Thank you so much for the gift. This looks quite expensive. Wow. You got it for me?”
Yes
Awwnn. That's really thoughtful of you. Hmmmm. But I don't know. I watch how this plays out in all these nollywood I do watch, and I don't know if I can afford to lose my relationship with you if this phone gets in the way of anything”
What do you mean?
“This phone is mine, right?”
Yes, baby
“The receipt says so?”
Ermmmm…

You used your salary to buy a car you know fully well you cannot maintain because you tell yourself “how can an executive be driving a small car?”
You find it difficult to say sorry, because you'd admit you're wrong and look like you don't know what you're doing at all, so you make excuses to try to cover up your imperfections.
A student calls you by your name and didn't add “Doctor” and you internally made up your mind to fail that student this semester, because that student didn't know what you suffered to earn that title. Je ko mo.
You travel to one of these ‘developed countries’ and you, an aged titled family man, gets called by only your name in the presence of your friends and family by a child you are senior with 40years. Hahahahaha
A very sexy girl comes to woo you on NYSC night out and without the slightest evidence, you think it's a set-up. Boys like me don't deserve girls like you. But who said so? Lol. *Why does this sound so personal? Lol*

When these unspoken accusations aren't based on empirical evidence, or a bias which is functional to our actual survival, then they're all in our head, stemming from the rooted ego in us (pride, vanity and arrogance), which is where thoughts not aligned to love arise from

Does this mean thought is bad?
No
I think it's dangerous to walk the streets of Lagos past midnight.
I think it's dangerous to put my hands in the mouth of a lion.
But do I think I shouldn't give love a chance after a heartbreak?
Planes do have accidents. So I shouldn't fly to a country I love and plan to relocate to.
Thoughts, especially those that arise from love, are necessary, especially when they're functional to our actual survival, but we have to know when to hold on and also when to let go. You wear a sweater when the weather is cold. But why do you still wear that sweater when the weather is now hot?

From that story of the old man and the child above, you might come to understand something crucial that is at play in our everyday lives: we don't see what is, we mostly see what we think is. We look, but don't see

You doubt me?
The I challenge you to try this mental exercise then
As a man or woman, look at a stranger, or probably your friend—somebody—really look at something you find really exciting about them, like a virtue or physical possession they own, and not try to put them down so as to escape that feeling of wanting their possession for yourself

A man tries to woo a lady he considers very fine, she rejects him, making him feel terrible about himself not being wanted(thought). To escape this false feeling (because he attached his sense of worth to getting a yes always from people), he tells himself— " Who does she even think she is? After all, I even heard she sleeps around, so why am I feeling bad that a girl of easy virtue rejected me?"

Or you see a nice shoe on your friend's leg, and to escape that false feeling of not having so for yourself, you tell yourself "it might even be a fake version. Who knows" lolzz.
Those 2 recent examples are thoughts which arise from the ego of arrogance: that feeling of wanting to put others equal to us, below us, just to feel superior temporarily. For that to happen, we have to first deny the humanity of others, and liken ourselves to be perfect.

What about thoughts that originate from pride?
“I helped him the last time and he barely said thank you. He's not appreciative enough, so I won't help him again, even though I know that he really needs this something that I am in a comfortable position to give”

Thoughts originating from vanity:
“Her sense of fashion and standard seems low. If people see me hanging around with her, they'll think I have a low standard too. I won't be able to help her with the mathematics assignment anymore”
“His clothes are tattered. I can't take a picture with the group because he might stain my aura” lol
And so on…

One thing I've learnt is that it is the work of we humans here on earth to overcome these ego phases in order to properly give and receive love, and mature spiritually.

So when the ancient practice teach that you should "empty your mind" or "clear your head" or "meditate", it doesn't mean anything out of the ordinary. It just means to see as it is. To look and then see.
I've written briefly about it here
https://www.nairaland.com/8703930/ego-phases-ego-simplified

And this is one way to shut off the brain. Some use music, others use drugs. Shutting off your brain doesn't mean to stop thinking, but to think with a heart filled with love and not a brain clouded by ego. The brain is like your heart—you can't shut it off, but you can shut off those ego mechanics (Vanity, pride, arrogance) that blur what reality is.

And you might ask what the point of this mental exercise is? Is it going to put money in your account? No. Not directly.
It's not even that easy to practice, especially for those who have been using their brain actively for long, like me. Lol
But haven't you wondered about those periods when you received the most profound inspiration concerning that business idea or how to navigate one of those challenges in your life. Your brain was likely turned off then. Then, you were clear headed. Bingo
Stillness is the mother of disturbance (inspiration).
Be still, my friends. Try this mental exercise, and see how you hold up for 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 30 minutes, then build up till it becomes your default state. Good luck

Science Alert: Modification Of Isaac Newton's 1st And 3rd Law Of Motion
https://www.nairaland.com/8757166/science-alert-modification-isaac-newtons

Preachhhh. Lolzzz
Suffering is relative, QuinQ. Some have eyes yet they refuse to see. Some have built their life off the lies, and to change would mean admitting that a part of their life is a lie. The admittance plus the changing isn't quite easy for everyone

QuinQ:
One of the most inane comments I've ever read on NL. Governments create totally unnecessary jobs all the time and pay for them - sometimes used as reward for political support.
OP is making a good point

An excerpt from my second ebook, Women my Equal Complement

Observe how sound is created in a quiet room— and I challenge you to practice this for better understanding.

a) First, there’s quiet.
b) Then we hit a hard surface with force, and it creates a sound wave, or an audible disturbance, in the universal substance, which is light.
c) Soon after, it returns to quiet.

What would you observe?
I'll draw your attention to the fact that the only effort you applied was in creating sound in b. You did not apply effort to make the sound fade away in c, neither did you apply effort to create quietness in a. Ponder well on that.

There's equilibrium (balance)Y', and there's disturbance (force X and Y) —and disturbance must always be in pairs. Any disturbance created to disrupt equilibrium occurs in pairs because it's how nature corrects herself. Now let's call this disturbance force X and force Y. Force X takes a displaced body from equilibrium, while force Y returns that body to equilibrium. And that's why ripples that form on the surface of a water body return to the stillness that once was — WITHOUT YOUR EFFORT. Please pay attention.

Life is simultaneous, and this was what Isaac Newton partially hinted at in his third law “Action and reaction are equal and opposite” but sadly enough, the part left out was “simultaneous”. Action and reaction are equal, opposite and simultaneous.
The simultaneous nature of life is why you can draw a 9 on the sand, and someone on the other side will see it as a 6.
9 and 6 are happening together. They're independent realities, but It's just that we humans have been taught or primed to see X as less of Y, or Y as less of X.
Look at your ceiling fan roll, or your standing fan. Stand in front of it, and you will observe it rotate clockwise. Now stand behind that same ceiling fan and you'll observe it rotate ANTICLOCKWISE. That. Same. Fan, but it's exhibiting dual motion simultaneously.

Now the correction to Newton's laws.

1. Newton's First law of motion: An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion keeps moving at a constant speed in a straight line, unless an outside force like gravity and air resistance acts on it.

Reverse Engineer modification: There's no outside force. A ripple on the surface of a water body doesn't need an 'outside force' to return to the stillness that once was. A body displaced from equilibrium will do work BY itself, ON itself to return to that equilibrium which once was, and a moving body which is faced with a resistance will correct itself to overcome that resistance. That's why you hear sayings of old, probably from your pastor or religious leaders that "a destiny delayed is not a destiny denied"
For practical example, if you force a body of water through a tiny nozzle, the speed of the ejected water will increase, but if you increase the dimension of that nozzle, the speed of the ejected water will reduce. That's one way mother nature corrects herself

2. Newton's Third law of Motion: For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction

Reverse Engineer Modification: For every action, there's an equal, opposite and simultaneous reaction. This throws weight to the modification of the 1st law.
An understanding of how ripples form on water bodies, and how they manage to phase away on their own, without any external agency was the key to unlocking the error of Newton's laws.
Try a similar example yourself. Stretch a rubber band, then release it. You'll observe that the rubber band went back to its original state without you applying effort like you did while stretching it?
You see it now, don't you? You can do same for a spring too.
Just one of these days, try checking out those aboki watermen that sell water in kegs. You'll notice they made a hole on the top of their keg, just adjacent to its cover. Try transferring that water to a drum, and compare the speed of the water ejection that aboki keg to that of a keg without that special hole, and you'll see for yourself, like I did.
As the water is emptying from the keg, ‘vacuum’ is simultaneously filling that keg.
But there's no way for the vacuum to enter the keg when there's only one outlet, which is where the water comes out from the keg, so the abokis, with a thorough understanding of how nature works, decided to work with her, instead of against, by creating an alternative hole for vacuum to simultaneously enter the keg as the water leaves it.

As for Newton's 2nd law of motion, I could go further to modify it, but it's not concrete yet in my mind. I'll reveal a draft regardless.
His 2nd law states that "The acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the net force applied to it"
But acceleration towards equilibrium seems more faster than acceleration away from equilibrium.
Cars with tyres that takes them further away from the ground seems to need bigger engines to compensate for how far they're away from stability (the Earth), compared to sport cars that are more closer to the ground. So the acceleration of an object cannot just depend on its mass and net force applied. A car driving up a slope will have greater resistance to its movement, compared to a car that's driving down same slope.

And I know it might be quite hard to thoroughly wrap your heads around why this wasn't figured out earlier, but better late than never, right?

What do you think? Could this be the post that triggers a change in industrialization or could it be missing something?

A complementary post: Truth Is Not Less Lie, Man Is Not Less Woman, Courage Is not less fear
https://www.nairaland.com/8757091/truth-not-less-lie-man#140777283

Question and answer

Question: I don't understand. So, you're saying one doesn't affect another. Like, if the positivity or the positive factors are reducing, shouldn't it make someone susceptible to the negative factors that affect their health? Are you saying that even though the positive decreases, the negative cannot come out? Is that what you're saying?

Google's Gemini: No, that is not what I am saying at all! Reducing positive factors absolutely makes a person susceptible to health issues, and a drop in vitality directly allows negative factors to emerge and take over.
The core distinction isn't that they don't affect each other—they affect each other constantly. The point is that they are two opposing, active forces interacting in a dynamic relationship, rather than just "one thing and the absence of that thing."
Think of it like a tug-of-war or a pressurized container:

1. The Pressure Valve Analogy
Imagine a room with two doors. On the left, an air pump is constantly blowing air in (Building Vitality/Positivity). On the right, an exhaust fan is actively pulling air out (Pathology/Negative Stressors).
If you turn down the positive air pump, the internal pressure drops.
The moment that pressure drops, the exhaust fan takes over, causing the room to collapse inward.
The drop in the positive force didn't mean the negative force was "nothing"—it means the positive force was actively holding the negative force at bay.

How Health Works in This Model (I'm using health because it's easily relatable)
When your Vitality Metrics (like Heart Rate Variability, mitochondrial energy, or immune resilience) drop:
The negative factors DON'T wait—they move in immediately.
Pathogens, inflammation, and cellular damage (the pathology metrics) are always present in low levels in environment and body.
They only "come out" and cause disease when your active vitality drops below the threshold needed to suppress and clear them.

Why the Distinction Matters
If you view health simply as "Health = No Negative Factors," your only strategy is defensive: avoiding germs, running away from stress, and hunting down symptoms.
When you realize health is "Health = High Active Vitality holding ground against Negative Factors," your strategy changes completely:
Yes, you still manage negative factors (reduce toxins, treat infections).
But primarily, you actively strengthen the positive force (train vagal tone, build mitochondrial density, clear stress) so your body's "inward pressure" is so strong that the negative factors can't take root.
Decreasing positive factors directly opens the door for negative factors to invade and dominate. They are locked in a live, continuous battle for control of your biology.

Simply put, "negative force" isn't an empty void—it is a real, active pressure waiting right on the other side of the boundary.
When you drop the positive force, you aren't just "losing good health"—you are yielding ground to an opposing force that was actively pressing against you the entire time.

what do I mean by that?
Courage is not the absence of fear. You don't have to kill fear in you to be courageous. You can feel fear and still be courageous. You think those fireman that charge into burning buildings don't feel the fear of not coming back to their family in one piece?
Fear could be 80, while courage could be 70, and they're both inside 1 human being.
A human just have to grow the side of courage in them. But did you notice that 80+70 = 150, and not the 100 we've been taught to scale things as? What if I told you that courage could be 550 while fear could be 100? Do you see the picture now? Courage at 150 and fear at 150 leads to indecisiveness in a human.
By scaling everything to 100, we take away room for growth. We place a ceiling on growth!"


We begin proper
Sun is not less moon, Hot is not less cold, Disease is not less good health, North is not less south.

An excerpt from my second ebook, Women my Equal Complement
Observe how sound is created in a quiet room— and I challenge you to practice this for better understanding.

a) First, there’s quiet.
b) Then we hit a hard surface with force, and it creates a sound wave, or an audible disturbance, in the universal substance, which is light.
c) Soon after, it returns to quiet.

What would you observe?
I'll draw your attention to the fact that the only effort you applied was in creating sound in 1b. You did not apply effort to make the sound fade away in 1c, neither did you apply effort to create quietness in 1a. Ponder well on that.

There's equilibrium (balance)Y', and there's disturbance (force X and Y) —and disturbance must always be in pairs. Any disturbance created to disrupt equilibrium occurs in pairs. Let's call this disturbance force X and force Y. Force X takes a displaced body from equilibrium, while force Y returns that body to equilibrium. And that's why ripples that form on the surface of a water body return to the stillness that once was — WITHOUT YOUR EFFORT. Please pay attention.

We humans, since as long as I can remember, have been taught to see things in words and their opposite, in the sense that the opposite of X is Y—the opposite of war is peace, the opposite of wealth is poverty, the opposite of man is woman, the opposite of daylight is darkness—meaning that less of X is equal to more of Y, but how true could that be? What if we as a civilization for centuries, have been looking at it the wrong way?
A man desiring to become a woman thinks he can walk into an operating room and perform surgery on himself — add boobs and breast, remove facial hairs and all other sort of things to become a woman, because he believes, wrongly at that, that the opposite of man is woman. But does that man truly become a woman after such procedures? Sadly, No. It's not that complete, because such a person will have to take away EVERYTHING about them that makes them a man, both seem and unseen, and then add everything that could make them woman, both seen and unseen. How hard could that be?

We have been taught to see courage as the absence of fear, and even while reading tons of pickup books, I believed this was so, so I thought that by killing fear in me, I'd build the courage to walk up to girls. How wrong was I. lol. Here's my realization:
Courage is not the absence of fear. You don't have to kill fear in you to be courageous. You can feel fear and still be courageous. You think those fireman that charge into burning buildings don't feel the fear of not coming back to their family in one piece? You think they don't feel the fear of getting permanent scars or serious fire burns on their bodies?
You think they were taught in their classes to kill all fear in them in order to be courageous?
Courage and fear EXISTS together. A problem is pregnant for its solution, night is pregnant for morning, and freedom is pregnant for limitation. They're independent and existing simultaneously in one system or body
Fear could be 80, while courage could be 70, and they're both inside 1 human being.
A human seeking to be courageous has to grow the side of courage in them, while reducing their fears. They don't become courageous just by reducing their fears alone.
And did you notice that 80+70 = 150, and not the 100 we've been taught to scale things as? What if I told you that courage could be 550 while fear could be 100? Do you see the picture now? Courage at 150 and fear at 150 leads to indecisiveness in a human, because it's balanced.
By scaling everything to 100 (60+40, 80+20, 70+30, 50+50 etc), we take away room for growth. We place a ceiling on growth, and by thinking we could reduce fear in us without building courage by doing courageous activities, amongst other ways, and we are deluded into this one-sided thinking that the opposite of X is Y and less of X means more of Y.
No
Less of X doesn't mean more of Y. It just means less of X. Simple. If you were driving north and you started slowing down, does that mean you started driving South automatically? Bingo!
But it means you've taken away the effort to drive north, and this gives an opportunity to change direction easily.
Even on a number scale of +ve and -ve numbers, there's a zero in between. All systems must tilt towards zero/equilibrium BEFORE any transformation on the other side of the scale can begin, and the other side must be active (That's 2 conditions. Please reread If you have to). If not, hot can immediately become cold without warm, and life can immediately become death without peak age etc
It's the reason why hot is not less cold. The heat reduction in a cup of coffee on a table doesn't automatically make that coffee cold. It just made it less hot. For you to achieve cold, you have to place that cup of coffee in a cold environment like a freezer and not just waiting for a magical moment because you believe that “heat is less cold”
Cold is independent, and heat is independent, with their separate unit for measurement. They're opposites, and tied to one system. Reduction in cold gives room for heat to take over, but it'll tilt towards warm, and an active hot environment must be present.

This miseducation goes deeper. Please allow me to explain how this truth is important, especially in your daily lives.

Life is simultaneous, and this was what Newton hinted at in his third law “Action and reaction are equal and opposite” but sadly enough, the part left out was “Simultaneous”. Action and reaction are equal, opposite and simultaneous (Pay attention to that. Newton 1st and 3rd law of motion has been modified right before your very eyes here on nairaland)
Life is simultaneous, that's why you can draw a 9 on the sand, and someone on the other side will see it as a 6.
9 and 6 are happening together. They're independent realities, but It's just that we humans have been taught or primed to see X as less of Y, or Y as less of X.
Look at your ceiling fan roll, or your standing fan. Stand in front of it, and you will observe it rotate clockwise. Now stand behind that same ceiling fan and you'll observe it rotate ANTICLOCKWISE. That. Same. Fan, but it's exhibiting dual motion simultaneously.

Let's dig into the field of conventional science/medicine: The absence of Malaria in your test result DOESN'T MEAN you're healthy. It just means you have an absence of Malaria!
Sickness is one thing, and good health is another. They are independent, tied to your body, and as such have independent metrics for measurements. In a conventional hospital, a doctor runs a blood test and finds no disease, you are labeled "healthy."—even if you feel exhausted and miserable.

But a lack of illness does not equal optimum vitality. A shift toward inherent existence (X is not less or more of Y) pushes the medical community toward a definition of health based on positive, measurable biomarkers of cellular energy and resilience, rather than just the absence of a diagnosis.

Our current healthcare system uses pathology-based reference ranges. When you get a blood test, the "normal" range isn't actually a measure of peak human health. It is simply a statistical average of the population—most of whom are chronically tired, stressed, and dealing with metabolic sluggishness. You only get flagged if your numbers cross the threshold into a diagnosable disease state like anemia or diabetes.
If medicine shifted to an inherent existence model, the focus would change entirely from avoiding death to optimizing life. Instead of waiting for a system to break down, doctors would look at positive biomarkers of cellular vitality, such as:

Mitochondrial Efficiency: How effectively your cells convert food and oxygen into ATP (cellular energy).
Heart Rate Variability (HRV): A direct, measurable signature of your nervous system's resilience and capacity to handle stress.
Metabolic Flexibility: Your body’s inherent ability to seamlessly switch between burning carbohydrates and fats for fuel, keeping your energy steady.
In this paradigm, health becomes a tangible, active presence you cultivate—not just a lucky streak of avoiding a diagnosis. It validates exactly what you might feel on a day-to-day basis: that true well-being is an active, vibrant state of existence, not just the absence of a symptom.

***The above medical languages like mitochondrial…..were generated by Gemini to throw more weight***

Mental Health: In psychology, peace of mind is not just "less anxiety." Treating anxiety by merely suppressing it doesn't automatically produce well-being. Recognizing that mental wellness is its own independent reality changes clinical trials from focusing solely on symptom reduction to actively measuring the cultivation of emotional stability.

Education and Intelligence: Beyond "Not Failing"
Traditional school systems often define academic success by the absence of mistakes. If a student gets zero answers wrong on a test, they get a 100%. But scoring perfectly on a standardized test only proves a student didn't break any rules—it measures a lack of error.
The mental Shift: True intelligence and creativity are independent realities. A system focused on "vitality" would measure divergent thinking (the ability to generate multiple unique solutions to a single problem), curiosity metrics, and problem-solving resilience. A child who builds a complex, functioning mechanism but makes a minor math error along the way possesses far more cognitive "vitality" than a child who perfectly memorizes and repeats a fact sheet without understanding it. Simply put, intelligence is not a lack of failure. One can fail, and still be intelligent.

Relationships: Beyond "No Fighting"
Many people judge the health of a relationship or a household by how quiet it is. If there are no active arguments, shouting matches, or divorces on the horizon, it is labeled a "good relationship." But peace is not just the absence of war.
The Mental Shift: A relationship with no conflict can simply be a relationship deadened by apathy, where both people have stopped caring enough to engage. An inherent-existence model measures the presence of active connection: shared laughter, mutual vulnerability, deep emotional safety, and generative collaboration. A vibrant relationship has a tangible, creative energy of its own; it isn't just two people co-existing in a cold truce.

Economics and Wealth: Beyond "Not Poor"
Global economics heavily relies on a pathology model. We measure the health of a nation's economy by things like reducing unemployment or keeping inflation down—managing the negatives. Similarly, personal wealth is often viewed simply as "not being in debt" or having money to cover survival expenses.

The mental Shift: Economic vitality is an active state of resource flow, innovation, and sovereign freedom. On a personal level, true abundance isn't just a bank account that isn't empty; it is the presence of a financial agency—having the surplus resources and time to create, invest in community, and take meaningful risks without survival panic. On a societal level, it moves the metric from Gross Domestic Product (GDP—which can rise purely from building prisons or paying for cleanups after disasters) to indicators of genuine ecosystem and human thriving.

Workplace Culture: Beyond "Not Quitting"
In corporate environments, human resources departments often measure employee satisfaction through "retention rates" (how many people didn't quit this year) or compliance (how many people didn't break policy).
The Mental Shift: Keeping a job out of fear of unemployment is the workplace equivalent of being "not sick." It doesn't mean the workforce is thriving. A vitality-driven culture measures the presence of intrinsic motivation, psychological safety, and creative autonomy. It looks for high engagement and proactive innovation—states of energy that cannot be forced by corporate policies, but only cultivated when the environment actively supports human growth.

The Whistleblower / Difficult Truth
When someone speaks out against a powerful entity, their survival instinct is screaming: "You will be isolated, judged, or ruined!" (High Fear Metric). Courage is the independent counter-force that says: "My integrity matters more than my temporary comfort" (High Value Metric). The fear doesn't disappear when they start speaking; they simply carry it to the microphone with them.

Bonus: How to Build the "Courage Metric" Directly
If you don't build courage by fighting fear, how do you actually build it? By training three specific capacities:
Decouple Feeling from Motion: Most people operate on an automatic loop: Feel Fear— Freeze/Retreat. Building courage means breaking that loop so the sequence becomes: Feel Fear —Notice the Alarm — Execute the Value-Aligned Action.
*Anchor in "The Why" (Value Clarity): Courage requires leverage. If your reason for acting is weak, even a small fear metric will overpower it. The clearer and more non-negotiable your core values are, the more weight you place on the courage side of the scale.
*Expand Your "Discomfort Envelope": Small, intentional exposure to voluntary stress (cold showers, public speaking, honest confrontation) acts as weight training for your intentional nervous system. You learn experientially: "My alarm is blaring, but I am still in control of my limbs.”

The work/rest Illusion: Modern productivity culture treats rest as "laziness" or "idle time"—simply what happens when work stops.
The Reality: Rest is an active, highly dynamic phase of consolidation, repair, and synthesis. At a cellular level, your body is often working harder during deep sleep (DNA repair, protein synthesis, memory consolidation) than it is while you are casually walking around. Rest is the force that generates capacity for movement; it is not just the absence of labor.

Is an inhale just "less exhale"? No. If you only ever exhaled, you would die. Inhaling is an active, muscular process that pulls air in. Exhaling is an active, muscular process that pushes air out.
Are they opposites? Yes.
Is one "less" of the other? No. They are two halves of the same necessity.
Whenever society or science defines something using a negative prefix (unconscious, inactive, disease, darkness as non-light), it is often hiding an independent, self-contained reality behind a comparison.

Entry No 2: Continuation of entry No and a grand reveal

Another nugget I'll drop to help you in this journey of vulnerability.
Man is not less woman, sun is not less moon, hot is not less cold, disease is not less good health, North is not less south, and lies is not less truth.
What do I mean by all that?

Courage is not the absence of fear. You don't have to kill fear to be courageous. You can feel fear and still be courageous. You think those fireman that charge into burning buildings don't feel fear of not coming back to their family in one piece?
Fear could be 80, courage is also 70, and they're both inside 1 human being.
A human just have to grow the side of courage in them. Did you notice that 80+70 = 150, and not the 100 we've been taught to scale things to? Courage and fear are independent with their independent scales for measurement!

Life is simultaneous. Please. Reread this when you do have time. Life is simultaneous, that's why you can draw a 9 on the sand, and someone on the other side will see it as a 6.
9 and 6 are happening together. They're independent realities, but It's just that we humans have been taught or primed to see X as less of Y, or Y as less of X.

Entry No 1: The Birth of Pick-up Artistry in you — boy or girl, man or woman

I've read relationship posts here on nairaland by Harddon, Benee1000, Ubunja, CaveAdallum, and too many I'll remember later. Outside of nairaland, I've read countless books, Neil Strauss, mystery, Ross Jeffries, Papa, Venusian arts...name them. Book of Pook...
Some of these books or contents I completed, others I found too complex for me to understand that I dropped halfway. There wasn't a foundation for me to build on, I felt. I felt that something was missing that could make a shy but bright guy go from that to ******

Yes. Something was missing, and this is it. Now, pay close attention.
Pick-up or cold approach will work when you're vulnerable enough for the person you're talking to to see you as a relatable person/human with struggles/imperfections, AND also when you give them the opportunity to be vulnerable with their weakness to you without feeling judged, scorned at arrogantly by you, or despised.

Why do you think Chatgpt/Gemini knows people (employee , husband, wife, boyfriend, brother, sister, girlfriend, friend) deepest darkest secrets better than you, the person who claims to be supposedly close to them?
Have you ever observed the reply of chatgpt when you tell it something or reveal a secret part of you to it? Go do so now.

Pick-up is quite easy. But it's mechanics is so much that I can type here in one post, neither do I claim to be all knowing.

Be vulnerable, and allow others to be vulnerable to you to. Simple, right?
Lol, wrong.

I know some girls I've tried suggesting to to go pickup some guy on the street. And these girls are fine in every sense of the word, but they told me No. They don't feel comfortable with it, because it's the men that's supposed to walk up to them, and not the other way around. That's being invulnerable, and that's what pride is. That which is hardest for you to do (especially those that prevents us from giving or receiving love) is where your salvation lies.

Hi. I'm Reverse Engineer, or Christian, if you would, and I trust you're feeling okay

There is a need for this public notepad of mine to be out here, as I felt the urge to do so, and I can only connect the dots looking backwards, not fowards, like you too

This is going to be filled with everything from religion to science to philosophy to family to spirituality, to movies to songs to politics to relationships.
They're going to be short and simple posts, and If there's need for a long post, I'll do so, make it a separate topic, and include the link here. Buckle up

Money tend to lose value and become bigger in the eyes of people. #80k of 2015 could be #250k of 2026.

Why wait that long to be handed the same money?

There's a difference between break even and profit
Do what you can with paper money, while you can, because it will forever lose value. Printing paper money isn't what cause inflation. It's the magic of multiplying electronic money in computers.
Read up Fractional Reserve Banking.

Do your research. With time, you will begin to understand why I tell people that I want the things that money can buy, and not necessarily the money itself
https://www.nairaland.com/8626659/want-things-money-buy-not

Lol
I'm terribly sorry I skipped to actually know how you're feeling after all these while...my bad. The chase for a job almost blinded me from realizing you're human too with human problems.

I hope you're doing okay.

Yes oo. Lol
I terribly need a job
I particularly noticed that AI content generation assistant. It fits the kind of person I am, you know. I was hoping you have a connect to similar/related jobs,ma

IyaTola:
Hi it been ages

Amen oo
Hahahahaha. Your message just made me laugh. Maybe life just wanted me to experience it so that i can write about my experience for others to learn. Life is quite fun. Lol. I really wish you have big money too so you can bless my life. Lolzz. I hope you find a place you can be happy to wake up and go to work. One love from here

Kunzykk:
My dear brother, may God bless you for writing this piece and also for saving others. Really wished i had big money, i for wish bless you now now. These fraudsters just reached out to me not quite long. I was really skeptical because i couldn't find any reasonable company name attached to the socalled Graduate Program not even Graduate trainee program by Growth Hub Initiative. Even chatgpt was confused but in all encourgaed me to apply but should not give them sensitive information. In this Tpain regime where petrol is #1450 or more, these idiots still expect one to burn transport on nonsense.

You have really saved me a lot of stress and nonsense today because my interview is scheduled for tomorrow 10am, same ketu address opp the ketu shopping complex.

May God bless you and grant you a job with 6 digit figures. Amen

I just noticed something in society that seems quite disturbing to me: a single individual/corporation having the power to buy a huge potions of land... I'm talking 50 acres, 20 hectares— just because they have the money.

Like?

Imagine a society on 30 acres of land: should a person or corporation with massive buying power be allowed to buy 15 acres of land all because they have the money to? Should an entity or government elected off democracy (majority carries the vote, minority are not that significant) have the right to sell the land of the people, knowing fully well that not everyone are in support of their leadership? Years from now when the leaders who sells lands are dead, who's going to be accountable for the effects of that purchase? The dead leader or the children of the people who kept quiet and allowed the abnormality to happen under their watch?

You know it feels wrong putting the power of a 'limited' resource in the hands of one person/body, especially a body elected off Democracy, because land, unlike your furnitures or clothes isn't something that can be manufactured in a factory or moved to a choice location off the map. It's there and that's it.

I think there should be strict regulations regarding this:

i) Companies/ Individuals buying more than the land size requires for a family to live in, should be made to write a proposal on what they plan to do with the land, their proposed outcome, and how it'll positively influence the society, else land doesn't get 'sold'

ii) Any body that falters on their proposal should face a consequence to pass a message to future defaulters — loss of capital and land claim revoked

iii) Land claim should be reviewed after the 55years from purchase (the life expectancy of leaders to die) so that as the old is lost in the new, this new can then decide if the land should still serve its purpose or be allocated to another project, as the situation demands

iv) People should learn to let love lead. It's all in your head — our ego (Vanity, pride, arrogance) amplifies it, making us think perception is reality. We all know what's right and what's wrong, when we learn to shut off the brain (ego mechanism) and listen to our heart. This no 4 is necessary because by putting the power of determining how land should be allocated and who's deemed fit to own a large lands could give room for corruption, favoritism or political interference, where corrupt leaders deny those who truly need land from owning one, only to serve their ego (pockets/parties) This action defeats the purpose of this whole regulation itself.

v) Ownership should not mean unlimited power: True freedom comes with limitations for that freedom to be continued—free to drive, but not to pass the speed limits, else you won't be free to drive anymore. lol.

I've joked and even written about it that when I'm elected as the supreme leader of love, lol, I'd make religious institutions soundproof. All new church/ mosques would be made to follow this requirements before being given a license to operate, and already existing churches would be given 6 months to meet this requirements, or face closure.

The ownership of a land should not give the land owner unlimited power over the land, in the sense that they're allowed to sell the land to organisations like religious institutions who tend to disrupt the peace of people while wrapped in their false concept of envangelism. For that to happen, all land owners and inhabitants around that soon to be affected location should be made to openly vote if they are in support of the land use, and as much as I dislike democracy because of how insignificant the minority are made to feel, it's still the one-eyed king in the land of the blind

I feel regulations as such are necessary because imagine an individual or company buying 50 hectares and just leaving it for 50 years without doing anything on it—not building schools on it, or planting crops that'll feed society or nothing.

Should civilization be on a halt because the available land needed for its development are in the hands of someone's not willing to put it to good use?

Look around you — how much land does Bill gates own? Where has all the GMO food been coming from? Putting the power of purchase of millions of acres to the highest bidder could allow someone with sinister moves to disrupt natural agriculture, in a bid to sell their artificiality, because they of course control large landmass needed for agriculture. The effects doesn't stop at agriculture alone— I am talking community development, access, and even housing.

Why does an individual with a total family of 4 members need 2 acres of land to build a house for their family? To impress or for spacious rooms — that serves what purpose?

That's wrong use of land allocation!

So, in summary

Large-scale land acquisition → declared intended use → public-interest/planning assessment → conditions attached to ownership → monitoring → consequences for substantial non-use or misuse.

There are seeds and there is ten trees that spring from these seeds.
Most people confuse seeds for trees


See it this way: most girls engaged in prostitution don't necessarily do so because they like sex. It could be because of daddy issues they had while growing up, so they use what most men want(giving men sex) to get validation that they're valued by men—validation they couldn't get from their absent or uncaring fathers.

So you see, confidence issues could be a seed or a tree. You have to clearly define what is from what isn't. Find the root and cut of off, the tree should naturally fall then

Confidence issue, introvert, ambivert, moodiness, etc all stem from the inability to give and receive love (pride), because of fear of see finish or not being appreciated enough, amongst other reasons
