Yester nite the sky decided to bust and pour and make the capital streets wet,with not wanting to drown myself i got in the next cafeteria as i waited for the rain to calm down..and take something to chase away the chill in me with a calabash of uji(porridge).Before i would take the first sip someone joined me at my table,looking stressed and distracted and needed to talk to someone
''Hi am Stacy can i talk to you'' and by the the tone of her voice i offered her my ears.
Stacy loved ......and wanted her friends life.Her friend Faith,lived in posh mountain view with her family(family and sibling)while she lives in komarock.they met at the university and become friends.But for Stacy,getting to interact with girls like faith made her begin to dislike her lifestyle and crave of more posh, lavish one.So with time,Stacy grew to be ashamed of,and hate her parents poverty-stricken status and thier kawa(ordinary) lifestyle that had much to do with sacrifice and struggle.she was no longer proud of their accomplishments,which amounted to none to her eyes.
Appreciating
What Stacy forgot was that she was better than many girls in the country,nay the world.Who did not have as much as she did,and it hit me.Often,we forget to look at what we have in hand and prefer to look over the fence at what others have,the begin to hate ourselves and our lives.We fail to realize that those people we so admire also have their share of problems,which could be worse than ours,and that they too could be dissatisfied with their lives,craving for others.
Instead of leading a lifetime of longing,craving,frustrations,unfulfilled desires and self hate,why not begin to appreciate life little's gifts whatever you have now,no matter how small.Believe you me the sun will begin to shine in your life when you turn back and thank God for one pair of shoes you have..........Many people dont even own a pair,and so on.Don't insult the Almighty wisdom by showing how dissatisfied you are with His blessing no matter how small you perceive them to be-He just might decide to take them all away ALAFU(then what)!!!!
