To survive, we need one another.
23rd of March, 2022.
The actuator of this article was what happened to me last raining season. That was the period of my industrial training (IT), i was set for work that day, i moved out to pick up a cab, non was coming forth, so i legged it to the next junction, so that i could get it fast there, on my way, there was this rich man in his "Blue Jeep", driving as if he owned all the roads, driving recklessly, and it just rained that morning, he was approaching my direction, before i could know, I had already used his car to splash water on me from the surface of the tarred road, the water was much on me, my clothes became so wet, even my log book was wet! The rich man instead of stopping to apologise, he stopped without coming out of his Jeep, and started ranting and saying all sort of words, he said and i quote "i do not apologise to people no matter how bad the situation is, so don't expect me to apologise to you". He didn't even say sorry! He saw himself too big to say sorry to me. He drove off his Jeep. Hmm! It was an unpleasant experience that day, but what could i do? I just used my hands to press my wet dress so that the retained water can get off, and i went back home to change to another cloth. I left him to the God Almighty.
How i viewed it;
From what he displayed, I saw he doesn't respect you if you're lower than him in terms of class and cadre. He was a man who had no respect for the pedestrians. He forgot that the person who treks today can own many cars tomorrow. Frankly, that wasn't how life should be lived. Life ought to be lived respecting humanity and caring for one another, regardless of status, position , and riches.
To us all;
There is a major crisis of what is right and what is wrong. We are forgetting that we need one another, we are forgetting that we need to look out for each other. We are forgetting that except the least of us is taken care of, that the best if us can not survive. We are forgetting that it is one world and it is a very small world. I can tell you candidly, it is such a small world that if we don't learn to love and respect one another, and forget all those things that we put more interest in than humanity, then we set everyone of us up for more troubles.
If you take a child from every local environment in this world, regardless of their tribe, their language, the colour of their skin, and where they come from, put them all in one room, and you will find them as one team, playing together, supporting each other, except you teach them otherwise, they will work together to solve every problem. That is what we need to be, we need to go back to be the children of the world again. We need to be a people who believe in love, in kindness, and in caring for one another, in a way that we can make our world a better place to live.
More things we need to know.
We need to understand that not a single one of us is a highland of everything, that every single one of us holds a piece of what is required to build the right world where we can all survive. Whether you are rich or poor financially, a literate or an illiterate, a business person or a carrier person, or you are someone who works in whatever field, we have one world and we share it together, we need to love and respect everyone who comes our ways because you can never tell how life will turn tomorrow. We need to let love lead, we need to be kind to humanity, respecting one another and staying humble.
No matter how smart you are, you can not survive alone, you are not smart enough to survive by yourself.
No matter how rich you are, your riches/ wealths alone can not keep you alive and keep you safe.
We all need one another for survival. We need to look out for one another.
