There are a lot of constraints in the world of living, these constraints could be caused by lack of knowledge of what you live for, it could also be caused when you betrayed by the ones who you put you trust on, avoidably, it could be as a result of chasing what is not meant to be for you. All these three points that are mentioned could not be what we can witness when we check various things that have happened in the past or what is happening in the world today.

Slave trade

Would you like to have some taste of this event of constraint? Let's go on a tour together. The first issue I will be talking about is the long time slave trade. I hope you have heard about it before. It is a constraint imposed on compassionate beings by their look alike but powerful ones. This is when human beings and being sold like chicks.

I hope you will just think about it a little bit before you ride on. I wonder what a terrible experience this could have been. This was very intense in Africa in those days. By the art of war, many of these African nations had their slaves. Those are not as terrible as those of African leaders who, because of what they wanted to eat were selling the people that made them the leaders they became.

This can be said to be ignorance, probably those leaders were not wise enough to think about the future of their nation and that is why they sold their people to American and Europe.

Greed by the leaders

Greed is part of what makes it so intense, the reason for saying this was that even though there were malaria diseases in Africa and those Portuguese could not live for long by the shore to raid African yet they get cargoes of slaves to take back to their country. These European and Americans resell those African slaves for people who are into sugarcane, tobacco, cocoa, cotton and coffee production. They work as labourer for them.

Lack of protection by the leaders

The leaders of those days did not care. What they are concerned about is their pocket and that is what no man has ever gotten enough of in this life. No matter how much you have, you can never be satisfied with it. Though some of the slaves are kidnapped by the foreigners, during raiding the fact is that their constraint should have not been from their leaders. Thanks to the government for making rules against this.

Illegal acquisition of properties

Another way that humans can be dragged into constraints is when you chase what is not meant for you and you got it by an illegal means. It is in the Constitution of my that anyone that steals must be arrested. If a person is eager to get what is not his or her own and was arrested, the next thing is that he will lose his freedom if he was arrested. He may be bailed or charged to court based on the intensity of his crime.

A young man maybe lusts after a lass and they could not conclude. This also is another example of chasing what is not meant for you. There has been a lot of cases relating to this "chasing what is not meant for you". There are several cases of rapes recorded in South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Sweden and Swaziland yearly and the five consecutive countries topped the chart in the year 2010. In my country, if any rapist is captured, such a person will lose freedom.

Know who you are

The third point I mentioned at the top is when you don't know who you are or your position as human being. I will have to share a short story of a known preacher called "Archbishop Benson Idahosa" basically on not knowing who you are. He was coming from crusade ground. He was heading home with his wife in the same car. They just got apartment in the neighborhood not quite long and bulldog started chasing their car from the back.

Wife: Honey, move the car!

Preacher: Changed the gears and accelerated the car.

They got home half soaked with sweet, that was a preacher who was casting out demons on the crusade ground. The preacher thought to himself that he did not know who he was anymore and prayed to his God to guide him right. They went to crusade the second day. As they were coming again the dog has been waiting for them. They passed by and the dog started chasing them again.

Wife: Dear, we are in trouble again, please move the car.

Preacher: Accelerated the car for few seconds as if it will continue like that, he then stepped on brake.

The dog was not aware that he would do that, smiles. The dog smashed its head on the booth of the car unexpectedly. It turned back instantly and ran back home as it was barking on the way. The preacher reported that since that day, the dog never chased his car again.

The constraint he was into at the beginning was because he didn't know what he should have done to stop the dog from chasing his car anymore and the wife was also a part of the threat.

Freedom is not for free for human being. There are a lot of prices to pay for it. You have to work towards it. The realisation of your freedom is what gives joy to people who witnessed it. I wish that this is realised.
