When i Get Older.

Long time ago....ok not really too long ago, when i was a kid, then we kids talk among ourselves,and very often we talk about what we would get or become as we get older. Then it was a long wishlist without limitations, we always say we would get or buy anything we like,build whatever we wanted, travel to see the whole world. Then the whole world was our cataloge and we just place our imaginary orders.

"i will buy a 4 cars and buy a 20 storey building when i grow up" Now, there was a little problem we did not see, we did not know that we had to work towards all this, we had this idea that the universe would just give you the things you want as you grow up....lol.... we did not see the things we wanted as a problem, we only saw growing up as the major challenge, our only limitation was just Growing up! If we could just grow up now now now! So we were always looking forward to just growing up.
We believed all things are achievable. we believed all lies were true. We had only one problem, we trusted and had too much faith in anything.

Then we started growing up, and something changed, we began to see the world differently, we had to read hard to pass examinations,we had to wash our cloths and do all the household chores, we realised that nothing comes for free, that the growing up we wanted was an illusion, our idea of growing up was wrong.....growing up is a pain!
We realised this and we figured out how the world truly operates, one can not just wish something to reality, NO! You have to work for it. Growing up doesnt make things for you, you make the things that make you a Grown up....It was a devastating discovery! Now we trust nobody and have faith in nothing!

Then after the realisation, most of us lost something,s ome found theirs back, majority dont even know its gone, and that is our "Child heart", the ability to wish and dream, and here is where the problem actually lies. When we figured out that the world only gives what you worked for, we changed with the new reality, we became men and stopped dreaming, we then started working towards greatness, but i guess we forgot something, that a great man is one who have not loss is child heart.

Some of us wish we where still children but most of us wish to grow slower,gently and easily, cos the world is just running too fast and its carrying us on its tracks and we are just gettig old too quickly.

All this flashed between my head as i rush up this morning to jump into the very busy bustling monday morning. It reminded me of the days when i say "when i get older" and how much i have realised the difference between being a grown up and actually growing up.

To all of you out their go get your child heart back as we are preparing for the christmas and New Year. Season Greatings Y'all.
When i grow older, i will travel the whole world.....i still believe that!

Far Far Away Land

Early yesterday morning, on my way to work,still furious that i have to go to field that morning haven just returned from one the previous day, i saw a small school boy around the corner, hiding beside a car. There he was counting a huge sum of cash and at the same time trying to remove some and hide the rest. So i confronted him, then he claimed that it was his school fees. I had no choice but to believe him,i wish i knew what was on his mind at that very moment,but i cant, and i will never.

Einstien said "in our endeavor to undestand reality we are somewhat like a man trying to understand the mechanism of a closed watch. He sees the face and the moving hands, even hears its ticking, but he has no way of openinig the case. If he his ingenious he may form some picture of the mechanism which is responsible for all the things he observes, but he may never quite be sure his picture is the only one which could explain his observations. he will never be able to compare his picture with the real mechanism and he cannot even imagine the possibility of such a comparison."

Now am trying to relate this to the human mind,one can never open to see its contents we only see the actions performed as a result of the thoughts going through the mind, although we may try to describe the mind in terms of the body's physical output,but we can never be sure that our assumption is right.
Like the man trying to understand the mechanism of a closed watch ,we everyday try to understand the thoughts and intentions going through the human mind, we even have psychologists to this effect.

The truth is the mind is a far far away land, it's as far as one can imagine, and worse still, no one has been there. You can only take my word for anything i tell you, that is why deception is an attribute of the human race.

just imagine,if we could read the human mind! Yes! There would be no secrets, no intentions, what you think, i know!

There is a popular saying "if you study me you would not Graduate" that is true because the mind is dynamic and unstable most times.
Most of us dont even know what is actually going on through our own mind, talk little of someone else understanding it.

So the next time Facebook asks you "whats on your mind" be honest and just say " i dont know" or " i cant explain".
