RANDOM VIEWS ¤State of Denoument¤ I have learnt to accept the distinction of the five fingers. That no matter how hard i tend to cheat nature and make them equal, there will always be loopholes. I learnt to accept the mystery of how grains of corn could digest well in the system of a Bird irrespective of the fact that it has no teeth to chew. To realise the uniqueness in a Cock. How it crows every morning and evening inadvertently to mark the dawn and dusk of the day without a time of its own. I have learnt to put up with an improvident but hardworking father. Indefatigable but ever pensive mother. To manage and improvise with the little i am left with, to carter tirelessly for myself and those around me, because unlike the Dettlo advert; if i dont take care of myself, Nobody will. I learnt that as our faces are different so is our problems. Different folks with different strokes. I have learnt that i can still be alone in the mist of crowd. I can still thirst for water in the shore of a sea. That i can be called Opulence but live in Indigent. I have learnt to be a poor brother to rich cousins, to play along face skimmingly with afffluence, but in due time know that indeed what is good for the goose is not suitable for the gander. I have learnt to being spit on the face, lick it and swallow the phlegm in the name of decorum. I learnt to pamper burning coal on my palms and not complain or cry even when my hands are burnt to scarlet. To put on smiles when sad and show up equally turn up when rejected. I have learnt that some stories always tell stale story. Some poems do not rhymes neither are they written in condensed form to narrate an event. Some dramas look bland, even with the right elixir to make an interesting folktale. I learnt that some prose are just written to test adeptness in the art of writing. I have learnt that there are Angels on earth. That when the wind blows; there are stars that glimmers among the mirage comets. I learnt that you can find succour when you are least expectant of it and can be dealt a demoralising blow when in full flight confidence. I have learnt to savour the gusto of Ignorance. To find sanity in not knowing, to appreciate the sagacity of my misdemenour. To guard the sense in my common sense and grow from other peoples show of ingenuity. I learnt that a word is enough for the foolish, let alone the wise. To value the treasure of my words, and say less than needed. I learnt to find convaleacent solace in the power of silence. I have learnt not to fall in love but to Love. To not giving anybody the leverage of changing my mood at any point in the name of fondness and emotional attachment. To find coziness in my loneliness.To get affected feelings by few and geniune soft spot by none. I learnt to condone irritants as friends and value the frankness of foes. I have learnt not get lost in a mammoth gathering. Not to get daunted by what i see. To be estoric when i want to confuse and be sophisticated with simplicity when i want to convince. That patience and hardwork is a rewarder to the rare beings that possess its traits if you give time time. I learnt i cannot be there for everyone. Just like umpteenth craps are brought ashore by the waves of the sea, i can only throw a few number back to the limit of my strenghts. I learnt to make a convenant with my eyes not to look upon a maiden lustfully. To guard the words of my mouth lest i say something foolish. To gradually number my days and apply my heart to wisdom. Most of all, I learnt to trust in God. To be stoic when He is in inertia. To be thankful for what He has done and still to do. To have a reason to smile when given limes. To catch the problems of life by the handle and carve a niche for myself. Life is a tutor, the more you think and observe, the more you learn - ©Gunner.
