Foresight - The End In Mind.

I was lazying around a bit earlier today and I saw the things most people are labouring over which in the end wouldn't even matter any longer. This life is fleeting and because we know we won't go with all these things doesn't mean we can't go on to live our lives but it only means that we must stop striving for things as though it's a win or bust.

It's good for us to pursue the good things of life but we should never be defined by it because the moment we are unable to get those things we focus only our minds on, then frustrations would start knocking and before we know it, we would start taking it out on those who only want the best for us and we would slip into a corner where we would feel all alone and that's how depression sometimes set in.

Don't start chasing money and forget those who truly matter to you. Don't start living life as though the end would never come because I've heard, read and seen people do despicable things all because they want to impress those who are not even noticing them. Desperation hits differently and only those who are in it can understand it.

Most people are building and living for now rather than for the future. Life is supposed to be lived and we are to factor others into that equation. How do you go on living when your time on earth is done? You invest in the hearts of men, that's how. We are to spread the kindness around and throw it like confetti. The thing is, this life is not as hard as we make it seem but lack of consideration for others made everything worse.

It's a lack of consideration that would make another person rape another and the same lack of consideration would make another person steal from another. How is it cool for you to rob another person of what's rightfully theirs and you would be happy you got it from them? I still wonder how many people who are into such an act as this manage to get through the night with a clear conscience. It's obvious they have silenced the voice of their conscience because there is no higher court than the court of conscience.

How do you explain a full-grown man molesting a young lady because of the way she dressed? How is her dressing your concern? If she dressed in a particular way that makes it look like she lacked morals, do you have to make another wrong to "correct" what you perceived as wrong? It's a case of people doing things without thinking about the consequences because there is no way that is an acceptable act by any standard.

How do you even explain politicians? I wanted to say Nigerian politicians before but I think these politicians are the same everywhere but it's the level of their dastard acts that differ. I think there is a school these politicians go to or a book they read that makes them act the same all over the world but the music of others just seems to sound louder than the other.

They would loot, kill and do all sorts just to remain in power even though no matter what they do, it's still this life they would leave behind. It hurts me when people act without thinking about the end. You won't even live forever neither will you forever stay in power and the things you have won't matter as much again and you won't have any control over it. Your strength would reduce and those you have oppressed would soon gather a voice and you would wish you had done things differently. I wonder if these politicians think this way.

They can stay in power for as long as they liked, kill as much as they want, gather stolen funds and put the country in debt for as long as they can, death is still the humbler of everyone, so why won't they think of the end in sight and choose to at least do something worth remembering?

It's funny because those with good intentions don't get the chance to taste that power and maybe they once had good intentions but power corrupted their minds and the circle of influence they choose to associate with because if you have heard this phrase before then you would understand better; "If you can't beat them, join them."

A lot of people need to live their lives with foresight. Maybe it gets a bit easier for everyone when they think of the end before carrying out any activity. How do you take another life? I wonder if they think of what the family members of those they killed would think and how they would feel. How will the children become normal again? How will they cope? What if the people they killed were the breadwinners of their respective families? What happens to those they left behind? Why disrupt their plans and their journey all because you lacked consideration?

There are so many questions we need to ask those out there and maybe they have been asked but their conscience has been sold to the devil so they can't understand the errors of their ways. There is nothing in life, really. We are to go on and be better, influence it, do things to leave a mark but we shouldn't achieve all these with desperation where we have to take other people's lives just to achieve it. Can that even count as an achievement?

Taking other's life is not a good move in achieving all our goals in life.. Losing a life cannot give benefits to many and you're just inflicting pain to the love ones of that person.

The conscience when seared (disregarded) only serves to harden the heart against truth. We see this often in the Bible, Pharaoh being a prime example.

This really saddening story of reality. Their greediness to power and money make them do evil things .. And conscience isn't in their system.

Most people that carry out evil acts never puts their selves in the shoes of their victims. Before they steal from someone, they should've asked themselves; "how will I feel if someone does this to me?" It's called empathy and many of them don't have it

I agree with you on the point of the article, the thing is that if everyone would take time to see where the action they are about to take would end, they will eventually not continue with it but many are just blinded by greed and they don't even care how their actions would ruin others life.

They just want that selfish results at all cost.

Thanks as always, for your brilliant contributions. Indeed, greed has blinded most people to the consequences of their actions.

Hahaha, pardon me, my friend. Your thoughts on politicians having a common school which they go to or a book they read really cracked me up hahaha. I wish they do have that thing called conscience, but most don't or some may have initially but like you said, they were corrupted and instead of becoming the opposing party, they joined the dirty crowd instead.

Hahaha that's so true, my friend. They are dead to their conscience and they have been polluted. It's shocking to say the least that most humans have no morals anymore.

And this reminded me of the election next year here in my country. A challenge to choose the least evil among the candidates although I still believe in some good men :)

Because money is power and root of evil, with money you have control over justice..

I totally agree with you. Maybe if a thief knew that he would end up in jail after stealing, he wouldn't even bother at all. Or maybe if a rapist knew he'd be killed for such an actual, he might have a rethink.
