this happened to a Friend , he is agnostic when it comes to religion and God . He is visual artist and does painting and all that for a living so I go to see one evening and he shows me a clean new razor on his room table and ask me to guess what happened to it. I try to guess but I know I am bad at it and then he tells this story I still find hard to believe till date. he said three days ago he was working on an art work for a client and he had used that razor but two days later hr couldn't find it when he needed to use it . Since he had a pack he figured he would search for it some other day and did not bother to find it again till to day. he said after he arrived from school that day he was really tired and decided to sleep , taking off his clothes he laid till that evening due to how tired he was . he had gotten up and just walked a few steps and stretched himself when he had the sound of something falling from his back, thinking it was an insect or so he turned to look at it . lol and behold he finds that razor on the floor in other words that razor fell from his back in shock he said he ran to the mirror to check his back hoping to see razor cuts and all that but nothing was there not even a scratch . "are you serious?" I asked the fella "Richy I go lie give you for that kind thing , I slept on this razor the whole noon and it didn't injure me , I don't know how possible that is because the slightest turn I could make would warrant the sharp blade to cut through my skin ,why it didn't injure me I really don't know" we sat there looking like idiots , my friend slept on a new blade for hours and he wasn't cut . it's funny I know but that's weird , my guy had no shirt on talk about miracle that's a big one for the guy. |
written by Mark Banschick Why do good people suffer? Is it a punishment? Or, is there something terribly wrong with this idea? An ancient text called The Book of Job has a worthwhile take on your suffering. Its message is modern, brilliant and on the money. Job's story may help you a lot. Suffering is not necessarily punishment: “You get what you deserve” is a universal belief that stands the test of time. Many hold that those who suffer trauma, trials and tribulation are being punished for some wrongdoing. It's a basic equation—and a powerful teaching. Guilt = suffering. But, does God have a position on this? The story of a good man named Job challenges the guilt/suffering paradigm by illustrating that even the most righteous suffer. If suffering is a punishment of sorts, then why should the righteous, who by definition are without (much) sin, be afflicted with trauma? The overarching theme of The Book of Job examines the injustice of traumatic suffering; and the aridity of simplistic explanations. In short, it asks two important questions: Why do bad things happen to good people? Is there a religious response to suffering that doesn't blame the victim? The Book of Job: When we’re first introduced to Job, we see a good man who’s blessed with prosperity. It seems that Job has it all—he’s wealthy, wise and has a great family. A good person is hurt: The author of The Book of Job opens with a literary device. He presumes a relationship of sorts between God and Satan. This dialogue sets up the drama of suffering undeserved. This is our experience of trauma; and the subject of this important book. So, Satan wants (God) to test Job’s faith, because according to Satan, Job’s piety can be attributed only to the fact that Job's been blessed with prosperity. According to Satan, Job's a good servant of God because his faith has never been tested. Ergo, Satan challenges God. Satan doubts that Job’s piety will endure if Job loses everything. Eventually, God grants Satan permission to test Job’s righteousness. And so, Job experiences a series of tragic hardships. Job is now a man who suffers terribly at the capriciousness of life. He loses his wife, beloved children and fortune. He’s also afflicted with painful skin ailments. Proving Satan wrong, Job refuses to forsake his belief in God, and never once curses God. Trite answers to the greatest of questions: Job is then visited by his “friends” who attempt to "console" him with worn theological explanations for his suffering. To my ears, they sound pretty harsh. Among other things, they tell Job: You must have done something wrong (sinned) and deserve punishment. There is a master plan; you just don’t know it. Stop whining. You're just upset with God because you lost everything. The bigger the calamity, the greater the sin. You must have really been bad. (If Job were alive today, his "friends" might say; small sins are really big sins for a righteous man, or that Job needs to suffer in order to be cleansed for the next world. Also, harsh arguments.) But, Job rejects them all, not knowing what he could have possibly done to warrant such incredible suffering. He's in desperate despair. But, Job's also determined—maintaining a belief in his innocence and the justice of his complaints. He demands answers from God Himself. Job wants to know why bad things happen to good people. He knows it’s not right, and will not accept the saccharine answers of his friends. In fact, Job finds his friends oppressive, if not offensive. The modern reader identifies with Job. His friends stand for many of the arguments found in contemporary religion. They just don’t hold water in the face of real suffering. Sadly, little has changed. God's response - what it teaches us: Job calls upon God—and The Almighty in fact responds! God comes down from the heavens and rebukes Job's friends and dismisses the underlying sentiment of their consolations. God explains to Job that to us mere mortals sometimes there are no words—no rationalizations—that can make sense of the unhappiness we endure. God finds such easy answers abhorrent. God’s response serves as a message that Job (like every other human being) cannot begin to understand the mystery of life and death. We are simply not permitted to understand the way the world (God) works. In this lifetime, none of us will never know why terrible things happen to people. Yet, something of importance has happened. God respects Job. God actually comes down and responds to a mortal man. Job counts in God’s eyes; and that’s a lot. Job realizes that even if we don’t understand God’s motivations for what happens, we are not alone. Trauma happens and we have to accept it. Explanations may make us feel better, but they mislead. Ultimately, Job, like all of us, must endure suffering not knowing why ... or if the question even counts. Once Job accepts this, he somehow manages to live with his trauma without becoming its victim. A fairytale ending: The Book of Job starts with a literary device by inventing a dialogue between Satan and God. It then ends with another literary device, rewarding Job with health, a new wife, children, twice as much wealth. Between these two fairytale-like bookends, we just witnessed a great drama about the meaning of suffering. It is a giant piece of literature and a spiritual masterpiece. So, what’s the moral of the story? Life isn’t a meritocracy. We don’t always get what we deserve. Suffering at the hand of traumatic experiences isn’t necessarily an indication of punishment for a sin that’s been committed. Sometimes bad things happen to good undeserving people. The Book of Job asks “why good people suffer,” but never actually answers the question. What it does do, is correct misconceptions about why we suffer. The truth of this wonderful tale is that man can't know everything. Human beings often want easy answers to hard questions. But, these answers may be more about making us feel better than actually helping us understand the world in which we live. Job's friends didn't mean badly, but they misled him. They represent common religious thinking as well as the universal need to have things makes sense. It gives us an illusion of control. Trauma occurs to people; it just does. If you ruminate on your sins, you are engaging in victim mind. It is faulty theology and its bad therapy. Our measure is not in what happens to us, but rather what we do with what happens to us. Although therapy didn’t exist in the time of Job, he wanted to talk. His friends served the purpose of clarifying Job’s own thoughts. In good trauma therapy, people learn to accept the unfairness of their hardship. From this place, you can build back up. Lastly, like Job, recognize that you still have a life to live. Don’t be a victim of your victimhood. Own your whole story, faulty foundation and all. You won’t benefit from shallow pity or sermons. Life sometimes makes no sense. You may have lost your innocence, but with good fortune and hard work, you may gain some real wisdom and strength of character. God himself may not come down out of the heavens to respond to you. But, you can bet that you’re not the first and not the last to deal with the kind of trauma you’ve had to endure. Get good treatment. And, make the best life you can. In my book, Job's worth reading because he stayed honest with himself. It’s a good policy. And, it makes for the best therapy. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-intelligent-divorce/201303/god-why-have-you-made-me-your-target-job-720 |
Drakkernoir:if truly a government security agency has been lied upon in this case my question is why are they not taking up legal matters against the said culprits why aren't they taking the case because in reality its a big deal , its like lying that the military attacked you ,do you think the military would go to the media and start pointing fingers. let them take the matter legally then I will believe DSS . |

COMING SOON NATION, ZOMBIE. : GENESIS |
englishmart:I am an aspiring crime writer because of Jhc my library contains 85% of his books even had to order some from outside, he is crazy and God knows he is exceptionally brilliant with his words. James hardly and Tom Clancy are my role model when it comes to the literature world most especially James. |
COMING SOON |
IN 2019, i decided to work out a book on what a zombie infestation would be like in a country like Nigeria but barely a chapter into the piece i dropped out like i do sometimes due to how massive and bulky the storyline was. Yesterday i finally figured out a way out and i am happy to announce to you that ZOMBIE NATION: GENESIS is in writing as we speak. so get ready to survive the story of my survivals who must adapt and learn to stay alive in a country infested by over 180 million zombies. ZOMBIE NATION WILL BE OUT SOON. |
izzou:maybe but it's really very sad. |
izzou:I highly doubt that, our culture and traditions and religion support a more crude way of doing such things . one. if I bring this matter out won't I be put to shame two. won't my husband drive me away three. won't my family be the talk of the town. four. won't his village people call us to point fingers at me I have read of cases of paedophilia where the pastor results to praying and fasting for the victim and the perpetrator involved, cases where because we are African we are more lenient with everything. she is woman, an African woman a Nigerian woman a few ( I won't say many neither will I say some) believe marriage is first before anything else and that includes their safety and that of their children) that girl has been psychological damaged and traumatized by her own father and the mom and the community believes warning him is the answer. |
“But the issue changed the way people looked at my dad because they didn’t know that we were educated, we could speak English, and we could dress. So it changed a few things for good. It showed another light. People then understood that in the North not everybody is illiterate. I trying to reason the contextual meaning of this, what does she mean by this.. but really do you think everybody in the north is an illiterate ,do we think they can't dress, I don't get but I do understand how she feels and no hard feelings towards her but those statements seem...i don't know anyway I guess people take there anger online. |
NoGender:SA has a functioning system well yeah if you want to rate but listen that has nothing to do with the justice system, this murder can go unsolved and without a suspect or perpetrators ,please don't quote me I do Investigative research for breakfast. even the USA with the tech and all that still have dozens and pile of files of cold cases with John doe and Jane doe as their victims and perpetrators so just forget that invalid statement. no country is perfect when it comes to security . rest in peace to the decease , I hope she gets the justicshe deserves. |
cuiz:the whole story is not adding up and rather seems Circumstantial to me as an investigative writer. and why hasn't she opened a formal case yet with the police if her medical reports prove poison. there are questions that aren't answered here or yet so I can't comment further. |
. now we know the boyfriend is never coming out. |
Lo so sorry my dear reminds me of my own little painful expenrience I had. I was doing my IT then and decided to hustle side by side with a lecture job so I got one through the aunty that lectures my aunty kids . two kids with a pay of N8.5k for me it was more than enough I took it, the woman was paying on time jejely and was able to understand whenever I wasn't around that I was also doing my IT so I heard about this lecture close to my house that was willing to pay 15k . guy man rushed and found out that the new lecture which covers primary, jss and sss and jamb would also run for 6days in a week even worst the man was using a rented apartment so I went and I got the job as the science teacher, he asked for our acct number saying he prefers to pay through acct. Lolz Omon after the first month of slavery teaching, my uncle parked out of area with children money and sent 6k to our account, I was able to confirm he sent same from the other guy who called me to ask. before I say lemme return to where I was getting N8.5k bus Don pass me. hahah good old days lessons learnt. |
1StopRudeness:tagging your ludicrous comment as a sarcastic reply was plain awkward it's really that simple stop trying to act like it was nothing, would you actually read that and tell yourself it's just a harmful mindless joke which everyone should laugh about? anyways good luck with your sarcastic remarks. |
1StopRudeness:sarcasm you say , are you depressed or disturbed? |
1StopRudeness:and to think a woman birthed you and to even think you may have a sister or one day have a girl child mehn you have got problems. |
Respect55:so sorry about your heart break dear friend at least you kept this promise to the end this was really impressive so to say. |
Slynation:lol I understand you brother. |
AfroKnight:hahaha if you got the passion you will find it interesting and I see no problem in it , I myself enjoy writing about crimes the most, understanding the psychological behind crimes and criminals lol good luck and good night. |
