GRATITUDE

As humans, we're mostly quick to complain about the things we don't have than to be grateful for the things we have. Gratitude comes second for most people because as humans, we're insatiable. We always want, even when it seems we have virtually everything we need already.

People complain about having too small or too big set of eyes, maybe they've forgotten about the blind people. A lot of people complain about the shape of their bodies, maybe they've forgotten that some people are in body bags, mortuary or six feet underground. Some
people complain about the shape and size of their ears, probably they do not remember those who have ears but are deaf.

For the many things we have and we don't appreciate often, we complain about so many other things. At times, we worry over trivialities even when we're blessed with necessities. It is common to hear people complaining about eating the same kind of food every time, maybe we need to remind ourselves of people dying of hunger and starvation. It is in human nature to always want more and it is not bad so to say but how often are we grateful for the things we have?

No matter how comfortable we are as humans, it is in our configuration to always want more though at times, to detrimental extent. A lot of people try to impress others with their living conditions forgetting that some people are way below them. It is common to hear tenants of apartments cry about being in someone else's house, maybe we need to remind ourselves of those homeless and hopeless ;sleeping on the streets, under bridges and in shacks.

The narrative so far does not mean that we shouldn't be ambitious or demanding of a better standard of living. The crux of the matter is for us to be more grateful for the several things we have that others might not possess, for our current situations, for our states of mind and our lives in general. Human development and evolution requires us to always want more pleasurable and favourable conditions but we shouldn't forget to always be grateful to the Almighty.

Gratitude before complaints. Be grateful as much as you're prayerful or hopeful of better conditions. This is just an honest opinion and not a criticism of anyone. Hopefully, we all would learn to be more grateful in every situation of our lives. I'm Quadri AbdulQudus Bolaji by name and I'm grateful for everything, are you?

Playboys and Lust - Abolarinwa Tayelolu  So i wont blame the play boys,they were once in love and with their heartfelt newest desires,their love, care and everything they wished to offer were splittered with thoughtless swords...i wonder what they had gone through,faking every moves,every motives of theirs, just to ensure that they upbeat how much they have suffered in regret after losing the real person that they loved..some of them chose the railing games,some of them go dirty just to impress and flow away their pains whilst some of them remained ever the same sensing the little regrets that they could not saunter, it was never their fault that they never right their wrongs,so they never bothered to love again...love is significantly correlative to pain..most times the loyalists suffer and will never explain why it failed... As a result of their first heartbreak,the tendency and push which they had for love are permanently suspended for many more years to come. I have to be caref...

TRUST: QIDAKINGIN’S POINT OF VIEW

-
Going by the Dictionary meaning of the word ‘Trust’, according to Wikitionary.org , Trust is defined as ‘’confidence in or reliance on some person or quality.’’ With this simple meaning of Trust, we can see that having trust in someone really means a lot. Firstly, because the trustee has both confidence and reliance on the trusted . Secondly, this should be also respected because it takes good respect along with honour and dignity for someone to have trust in another person. Once the trust has been betrayed, I tell you, for the average man, that is the end of it all. One cannot gain that credibility again due to the fact that no matter the amount of pleading from the person who has lost his or her credibility, he or she already has a dual-personality to that individual whose trust has been betrayed. He or she might find it hard to stand up for that person again or even believe the utterances of that individual. Trust doesn’t necessarily mean just the monetary aspect only bu...
