FADED GLORY

                 

   what do you think a FADED glory is? What do you believe in? A FADED glory or an instant glory. 
   Firstly the word FADED could mean 2 different things; the process by which something appear slowly or the process by which something disappear slowly, but here what we are concerned with is the first instance(from fade to bold).  Hence, when we talk about FADED glory we talk about that glory wish appear slowly through a meticulous and painstaking process.
    Many youth nowadays wants to have the glory, the wealth, and the fame, but how many of them are ready to dance to the tune of meticulous city? None of them. They all want the glory fast, they want it instantly, but how many of us are aware that success and glory do not come easy.
   The popular text "live fast die young" is not a lie. If a man sought after instant glory  and I gets it by a crude means, it is a general rule that he may experience an instant death too.... 
   The hustle and struggle should be an handy work and not illegals....  FADED glory appears slowly with hard work and diligence, but the advantage  of FADED glory is that it the owner of the glory have a lot of time to enjoy himself.
   In conclusion the hustle of a young man should not be crude, illegal or an authentic search for instant glory, but hard work and diligence that produce a PERMANENT GLORY

WHEN THE EXIST CEASE TO EXIST

   "The earth is the home of existence and the home of man, if earth is destroyed where then shall man live."
   The condition of our home is degrading and this is as a result of our own influence and work, Man is killing himself and he is behaving carefree. 
    Mahatma Ghandi once said earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed. Yes,  every man deserve to eat, have a housing and be guaranteed a freedom to exercise their purpose and activity on earth, but some people have taken this liberty to an extreme length of incomprehension. The wealthy ones builds an infinite number of  artificial compounds hereby reducing the area of Earth nature occupies.  The industrialist does not even wants to care about his environment and the health of the people there, all he cares about is making his money and satisfying his own greed. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen,  lead etc are released into our atmosphere every day by this industries.
   The parasite that suck the blood of a host and rejoices is not aware of the fact that as the death of the host moves nearer so the death of the parasite. It is expedient to note that man cannot survive without nature,  so why is man hurting nature?
  A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people - Franklin D. Roosevelt.  This wilderness we lumber without replacing are essential to the existence of man like president Roosevelt observed if we destroy all the forest what shall purify our air and how will the condition of Earth be stable. What is the essence of having a beautiful house without a habitable or beautiful planet to put it on?
    Why then is man killing himself by destroying his home just to satisfy his greed?
  

MY RELIGION

                   

   "my conscience is my religion and the street is my temple"
   The conscience is an aptitude, faculty , intuition or judgment that assists in distinguishing right from wrong. The remorseful feeling or guilt an individual feels after the commit that which is wrong is the torture by the conscience, the satisfaction and joy we feel when we do that which is good is the credit by the conscience. In other words, our action are judge by our conscience and no man liveth without a conscience. Is it possible that a man do what is evil without him knowing he is doing evil?  No, the conscience is there to torture him and try to set him on the right path. Imagine those time you didn't do your assignment,  even before you get to the appropriate authority you already have this spirit in your mind telling you "you have done wrong and you will be punished".  That is your conscience.
   A religion  is a cultural system of behaviors and practices, world views, sacred texts, holy places, ethics, and societal organisation that relate humanity to what an anthropologist has called "an order of existence". Religion may consist the believe in supernatural beings or entity,  believe in divinity, believe in mysteries,  believe in scared things, or BELIEVE IN SOME OTHER NORMS THAT WILL PROVIDE POWER THE REST OF SOMEONE'S LIFE. A religion must be a set of believes or cultural practices which must be practice and sermonised in a place dedicated for such purpose. For example as Christians believes in God and worship him in a church,  Muslims believes in Allah and the worship him in the mosque.
   Generally the word Street means a paved road or a place people can  assemble and Interact and move about freely, but the street we shall be discussing in this context transcend just it's literal translation. The street consist of our environment either urban or rural and how we relate with the people in such environment either poor or rich. In short the environment you occupy is your street and how are you affecting your street?
   My conscience is my religion and the street is the temple.  The conscience tells you what is wrong and what is good,  and in other to put its teaching into practice we need a temple for it and that is the street.  The place where we could see our fellow humans suffering,  oppression and discontent. The remorse god(conscience) tells us to help and of we fail to help it pricks back as a punishment for our offence.
   Einstein once said never go against your conscience even if the state demands it.  Now am saying never go against your own conscience even if your religion demands it. For the conscience is the almost measure of religion set up by our mother nature and we have to always yield to it.
   Richard Bach once observed that the conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully. Is it not obnoxious then to see preachers, priest, imams and other spiritual leader live flamboyant and exotic life when there is still that poor man struggling on the street for scraps of foods. A preacher will have 4 private jets(can't 1 private jet do) when there is still a member of his church who can't afford a slippers conveniently. And then I was forced to ask where is the preacher's conscience?
   Our conscience should be the greatest judge of our character and nothing should stand in between. And to achieve a good conscience we need to feed it with good character and be open minded

NATURE: THE MYSTERY UNTOLD

   According to the wikipedia Nature , in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or
material world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The aspect of nature we are concerned here with is the fact that NATURE IS LIFE, NATURE IS EVERYTHING and NATURE IS MOTHER TO ALL.
   The word nature was derived from the Latin world natura which literally means birth. Nature gave birth to all, everything that exist was a result of nature. Looking back act the biblical history and evolutionary history of creation, they both have 1 thing in common, the fact that life came out of nothing "The bible scholars believed that God created the world out of the void and the evolutionist believed that life grew out of an explosion".
    How then is it possible for something to grow out of nothing? Firstly let's ask ourselves what is nature in its first instance?, nature is nothing nature is adaptation, nature cannot be perceived, nature is not something we can touch it, actually nature was more than a god.
   If a void ever existed before the creation of earth, that void was nature and according to the bible God created the earth out of nature(void). The particles that exist before the creation of life was nature. Nature collided with itself and sprung life. Either which way you argue how life come to been there is still 1 unifying fact, that nature was before life and life sprung from nature.
  *NOTE: respect nature, because shes our mother and existence would have not been without her
   

MODUS OPERANDI

                       

  Everything you see and discuss will continue to have effect on you, if you are always used to seeing corrupt things you might tends towards acting corrupt, likewise if you you're used to discussing and seeing great things you tends to do great things.- Daramola olamodesi
   MODUS OPERANDI is a particular way or method of doing something. Modus operandi is a Latin phrase which is directly translated as method of operation.  Although the term modus operandi is commonly used in the context of business and criminal investigation,  we shall also adopt this phrase to the day to day activities of men.
    The modus operandi or modi operandi (pluralistic speaking) of an individual starts all from when he was an infant.  The method of which he does things can be greatly by the method by which he was first exposed to.  In corollary to this the method of operation of a person can be greatly affected by the following situations:
1. Inheritance.
2. Exposure.
3. Environment.
4. Peer groups/pressure. 
5. Fear.
    INHERITANCE: let's look from an audacious perspective; if a man have always been acting with wrath and immense magnitude through out his whole life,  what is expected of the child he gave birth to. Commonly our actions and methods tends to leans towards that of our parent...  Some times we inherit this traits from the. Both bad and good.
   EXPOSURE: when a kid is growing up the  conditions and tutelage he grew up amidst can also go a long way in deciding his method of operation and what he did become.  Take for example a kid who grew up among gangster have the tendency of behaving badly and becoming a terrorist while a kid who grew up amidst priest is of high probability of behaving good and becoming a bishop.  Why?, Because the first kid would have been exposed to bad acts while the alternate kid could have been exposed to good acts.
   ENVIRONMENT: the environment in which we live also affects our thinking and ways of doing things....  Someone who lives in the ghetto will live a rough life while someone who lives in a city will live an organised life.
   PEER PRESSURE: most people have acted rashly and cautiously because of peer pressure. A boy might run into premarital sex because his friend talks about it and put pressure on him.  And a boy might become a better student and read his book better because his friends abuse him and calls him Dullard.  So he steps up his struggle just to lift up himself to the standard of other students.
   FEAR: a Christian is morally upright because of the fear of God so as the Muslims fear Allah.  They take to his commandment and behave morally upright.  Contrasting to this a member of a secret cult or occult might be forced to commit murder because it is required of him by his occult and he fears the consequences of not accepting the task.
   IN CONCLUSION the conditions, environment, exposure etc in which we find ourselves  or live in have a great task in defining who we will become and the way we do things.
