omeone once said to me "do don take this life so serious, be flexible as you can to everyone and give help when needed"..

This advice came up when we were in the middle of an argument. Though in the beginning, it was fun but at a time it became mean and serious.

What caused this argument? "A child was crying and her mother was not around. Her mother left her with her sister to take good care of her till she comes back shortly. At a time, the little girl started to cry. Her aunt tried letting her but she gave deaf ears. Then, there was no light and the weather was a bit warm inside. So she supposed that the little girl wants some fresh air. She brought her outside for a while and that really seemed to work. Shortly after, she began her crying again. Auntie thought maybe she's hungry again even when she ate before her mother left not long ago.

She got some food from the flask but this time around, that didn't work out. The two guys were making a scene when suddenly an elderly neighbor saw what was happening and offered to help the situation. As she carried the little girl stopped crying and just shortly after, she was smiling and playing again. All in the hands of this elderly woman. Auntie was surprised and asked mama how she did what seemed like magic . The elderly woman told her to just observe and learn. It is not a skill, it is what you know, there is no other ways of doing it rather than what you were doing. The difference between us now is that I am a grand mother and you have not had a child yet. It simple. Just communication!

You don't control how you carry the baby alone, the baby is almost in charge of how you carry them.

Thais was how the conversation started before I walked in and joined the conversation and got updated.... at a point amid the discussion, there was an argument about minding ones business and giving unsolicited concerns.

I could remember we talked about when people see someone in need of help and backs off, while some will witness the situation and give in their unsolicited best. In some cases, the person who is being helped are in need but might not show or call for it. Anyone could be in this situation, it doesn't matter who you are or what you do. It once happened to me.

A situation where I was carrying a wheel barrow full of cassava, I was just returning from farm in my village and as I carried my wheel barrow, I rest in few seconds. At a time, I was to cross a junction where many people were seen. I had to proof a strong girl and push my load without stopping or showing any sign of weakness. As I struggle in my sweat, the first guy saw pity on me and asked to help me, which I declined and refused. It was the second time he persisted and took the wheel from dying me 😂.
