CAN WE DIE FOR SOMETHING,RATHER THAN DYING FOR NOTHING?
CAN WE DIE FOR SOMETHING,RATHER THAN DYING FOR NOTHING?
This is a question to the public.
Let me Start with the words of Martin Luther King
" _OUR LIVES BEGINS TO END THE VERY DAY WE BEGINS TO KEEP SILENT ABOUT THINGS THAT AFFECT US._ "
So many crisis and violence have been in existence since the creation of the Universe,it is not new that the world is a very vast empire and planet earth also dwells in it. It not new that no matter how perfect things are there will always be a fault,even after creation God said everything he created is perfect,he still regret creating human. Human race still remains the most diabolic race in the Universe. We do things that affect us spiritually and physically, the well to do ones feeds on the poor ones,in short the human race can be compare to the lifestyle of _FALCON__(a bird of prey that feed on other animals)_ , Nation feed on other Nation to gain Power, Strength(politically) and Popes,Pastors, Imams and Herbalists(religious) feed on the worshippers to gain strength,power and good lifestyle. This selfish behavior is part of what is sending the human race to early grave,because of power and money human can do and undo,they can go to any length to make there wish come to pass, however this are inevitable because this world is a competitive place,we chase what we don't deserve,we chase what does not belong to one,the pockets of every political/religious leaders is filled with peoples fortune and sweat.
Great hero have gone to early graves and those ones that grow old suffered before they can become great hero,because people refuse to follow the right path,people refuse to draw light to the dangerous path and everybody live the life of I don't care, when you live that kind of lifestyle then lives that need support will crash down,then one day yours is coming to an end,no one will be in position to support you, people keep saying _"united we stand;divided we fall"_ , but this does not take effect the fear of death engulf our people and they refuse to realize that " death is a debt every man must pay" then why don't you pay it with honour, see fallen comrades in war they die with glory,it is just in Nigeria here that comrades die and they were forgotten, but it is not too late to make changes the words of GENERAL MOHAMMED BUHARI that " _Change begins with you"_ is perfect but how will you make the change,in the words of Olaleye Temitayo B that says " _Destruction is Easy but Restoration is very difficult, even after restoration it can't be as it was,although it can even be better_ " then why do we need to panic when the highest thing that can happen to human race is death, then why do we need to fear,then _let die for something rather than dying for NOTHING ._
The beginning of all this,is because the past generation too left it the way they met it,but the blame will be on us if we also leave it for the coming generation,the foundation which we lay,let put bricks on it,then wherever we have the grace to stop,they (coming generation) will continue.
Prior to the current state in Nigeria the death of innocent ones, wouldn't have happen if the necessary things have been done,may there soul rest in peace,those that die in sin,may God/Allah forgive them, but before this type if message will be referring to you,please let make a change,at least die for something and not for nothing, even with the unity in which we will do this no one will die because "I will always defend a comrade," then if any comrade have this in mind too,we will always defend ourselves and no attack will penetrate us.
I will step aside with the words of ALBERT EINSTEIN and Alan A.Milne
" _WE ACT AS THOUGH COMFORT AND LUXURY ARE CHIEF REQUIREMENTS OF LIFE,WHEN ALL THAT WE NEED TO MAKE US HAPPY IS SOMETHING TO BE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT_"
