What's The Point?

There are so many things I might not understand in this life and most notably is human character. I can't understand how people think sometimes and as much as I admire them for having their uniqueness to think in a certain way, believe me, I still see it as an insult to intelligence most of the time. It's not because they utter a meaningless statement that matters but the fact that they believe someone would be as dumb as they are to believe it.

Have you ever heard someone remark and you paused, looked at the person and mutter underneath your breath "What a shame"? Most people would utter ludicrous statements because they are trying to cover up and the more they tried the more people see them for who they are. I exchanged some chats under the comment section of @George_Dee in his recent post. I would suggest you check it out here: Infidelity has taken a new height.

This news has been making rounds for a week now after the ex-wife of a popular On-Air Personality/Comedian/Artist came out to dent the image of the man saying he was abusive and she had to keep quiet so he wouldn't lose an endorsement. The man released his version to point everyone to the truth that the first person to report isn't always right. He released videos of his bruised arms due to a deep bite and also how his ex-wife was screaming and about to break the door down despite hiding and locking himself inside the room. The bombshell he exposed was that their first son doesn't belong to him after he conducted a DNA on the child.

The woman came out and said she never told him the boy was his and the man assumed the boy was his. I was taken aback and shocked. They were married and yet she expected the man to have doubted the paternity of his child while being married to her and she dared to say he assumed? Some people deserve a high five on the head with a baseball bat hahahaha. Whattttt?!? 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂. No wonder someone said that the more he found out about humans, the more he has come to admire a dog. Dogs are loyal to a fault and the same cannot be said about some humans.

I understand that as humans we all want control and we want everything to go our way. We want to dominate and have influence while portraying ourselves as being perfect. I understand that each person is unique in his or her way but there are some things we should never negotiate and that's integrity. I can't joke with it no matter what. It has been instilled in me right from when I was young.

I can remember when I was much younger...I believe around 14 years of age. This game came out then. Not sure if it was the water game or the brick game. I know I saved up for it and then it was around $1. I took a stroll with my friend and we finally got a place where they sell it. I was excited. I got the game and left. It was all the money I had on me so I knew the same way we walked there is the same way we would trek back. The excitement of holding that game made that journey bearable. I wanted to do something for myself and not involve my dad then.

As I was heading back and we were close to being halfway to the house, I noticed the money was still in my pocket, meaning I didn't pay for what I bought. Maybe due to the excitement of holding that game, I forgot but was more shocked the cashier failed to collect the money as well. I begged my friend to let us go back and we did. She saw me and still can't remember until I told her she didn't collect money from me. I dropped it and started our journey all the way again.

A recent incident occurred in my former place of work and that was around December. After leaving their establishment and after paying me my entitlement, a month after, they haven't cleared my name from their system and I received a credit alert of what would be my salary when I was with them. That moment and right there, I knew I cannot keep that money. I messaged one of the team leads later that night and told him to get in touch with the accounting department because they credited me wrongly. He was shocked.

The funny thing is, they made this same mistake for 3 other ex staffs but I was the only one who voiced out. They even spoke with one and he said he didn't see anything and would have to check his mobile app a day or two after. Most people started reaching out to me telling me how proud they were (those in the management) but others that we were colleagues, some of them said they wouldn't have returned the money because they feel it was a "blessing". Nah, I can't live my life like that. I am not a perfect person I am as fallible as every other human but there are certain things I would never negotiate; integrity.

What's the point of getting the money and spending it? I would easily exhaust the money in a month and that's it but what will my conscience say? How would I feel on the inside? Would I like the person I would see staring at me in the mirror? Absolutely not. I like thinking far ahead before making certain decisions and whatever would not make me feel at ease, I shun it.

We are all different and I respect that. Most people are dead to their conscience by the virtue of how life has dealt with them and that's fine too but I won't do things without thinking of the end result. I always ask myself, what's the point?

Thank you for your time.
