KEY NOTE ADDRESS

Hi Friends­­­­­­­­­­­­­­,

When I ushered myself into the silver generation a couple of last year, I was quiet sure you are about there. In your congratulatory messages, you said “gat older, now started making human beings” what a kiss, “kept it short and simple”, many and many thanks.

Though nowadays getting a little unable to match so many people’s expectation due to the many issues on my desk, I ask for their emails so I keep communication abreast, of course it’s not fair but I can spare sometime for that.

The fact is, am trying to beat every deadline possible to be in time as well as try my best to keep in touch in with everybody in any way possible while completing these invisible goals.

I want to applaud you congratulatory massages and allow me just throw a fair comment, many times people say am cantankerous, I talk weird or something like that, but allow me bring this real live situation before you and nearer your face.

As those issues gains prominence, I could be just home away. Oh! How gracious, good and prestigious to have human beings but what does it take to have a health union, marriage or family? My weirdness begins!

This is a challenge a head you have to rethink, reflect upon to forge a real special commitment; it looks like that within my reality lenses too.

“Goodies of olive seeds and peanuts are extracted only under duress. Iron is sharpened by friction, gold is refined by fire and impurities in diamonds fall off through a fire”. What about!!!

This means, without a test, one is still raw; the test has to prove what one is meant. For example, there can be no love without freedom, the freedom to choose to love or not to love. There can also be no true obedience without the freedom to disobey.

To me, Life is all about choices and making human beings is no less. The theory of one special partner who was made in heaven and set aside for the other is debatable, but I do believe that if you choose to love someone, you could love them to the uttermost.

In my fair analysis, Love is by far not a feeling, but it can generate certain feelings in you.

Now! I would like to ask, supposing it were me and you, what you think would sustain this union after the hormonal rush dies down and familiarity sets in. What do you think will keep us through the fire and the flood when, not if or it comes.

You may say love, I say commitment. Some say prayer, I say choice. Not that God is an outsider, but even holding onto your faith and love is a commitment or choice.

Let’s create some vows here for real; let’s come down to earth and clip off our angel wings. What will really sustain these human beings then?

To me, there is no such thing as stopping to love. One cannot stop loving or fall out of love but one chooses to stop loving. The truth is, we have voluntarily let the long time friendship or the circumstances of life smother the flames in our hearts.

Some how, now we want to take charge of our lives; can we carry our own weather really? Of course we can choose to have summer in our hearts even if it is winter on the outside but we can not program to only reduce ourselves to love.

However, this transition will be easier handled if we don’t insist that it is all about us. If it is all about us, we will be disappointed. If we choose to let it be all about the other persons, whether they fulfill their part or not, it will be well for us.

In other words, if we chose to say I do and to each others weaknesses too? Cut the cost, do the math and tell me if you are in. Hope it has been a nice reading, am sure the out come will be worth the time, Hope you guys will wish me another HAPPY BIRTHDAY soon.

Cheers.
