Thought Expressions: The Good, The Bad And The Judge
~2.7 mins read
There are so many societies around the world 🌎. Most if not all of them have laid down rules to govern their citizens to keep the society peaceful (good) and eliminate evil (bad) from it.
Society has the "Law judges" and the "moral judges" (Religious heads or very religious people at heart) to enforce this.
But what or who is bad (or good) ?
And Should humans even be given the right to create this distinction?
Let us look at it from the "one man's meat is another's poison" point of view, and maybe some of you would get your answer to that question from the phrase above.
[But don't go yet, I want to show you more of my side of the pool from where we all fetch]
Have you witnessed a heavy downpour that fell trees and destroyed homes and cars but still nourished the soil and cured the drought?
And if you love coffee, how would you feel taking a really hot cup of coffee on a super hot day?
Or Do you think people would feel anger when a serial murderer is killed, and be joyful when an innocent man faces the same fate?
Let's look at this scenario 👇
Just imagine, Mr X, your religious figure who is also a finance officer, has never asked the company he works at for a raise, and denies (and has never been caught) ever having extramarital affairs.
Then imagine Mr Z in same community, who has no religion, requested for a raise from his company that wasnt granted, openly stole cash in retaliation and cheats on his wife with a girlfriend everyone knows.
At this break, what do you think, genuinely, about both men?
Please give it a thought before you read on?
Tell me who you would easily trust.
Who would you entrust with sensitive responsibility, knowing what you know about both men?
Then, what if you are given more information about Mr X (Just a peak into his really secure private life), he has been constantly stealing cash from his company by manipulating records, sleeps with male and female prostitutes everytime he is out of town. And that's all of it for both men.
Do you still see the men in the same light?
How would laws created by mortals catch up with other mortals who are great at manipulation?
Or
And if the law never gets them would they live freely, unpunished?
This paragraph isnt to argue for the existence or not of supreme forces, but maybe you would agree with me that we are governed by physical and metaphysical laws and no matter how hard we try to maneuver them they still catch up with us. One quick physical law is the law of gravity and one metaphysical one the dynamics of our thoughts.
Would these Meta and Physical laws allow mortal laws over shadow them?
Should we blame the tool, action or the performer?
Or
Do we blame the motive behind the action?
What really is Bad and what really is good?
Is it the Gun or the Shooter?
Is it the Gun or the Shooter?
And are you to Judge?
Come with me, let us walk together with our thoughts clinging together, giving and taking what we can.
Somewhere along this path we thread, you never know what we could find together ❤️

What Is Self Control? My Experience And More
~2.1 mins read
I went to the Restaurant today! I was hungry, plus I had been feeling drive-less recently.
Ordered a plate of food to take home, because I was too down to even cook. Then I noticed the Alcohol 🤩 in their fridge.
Honestly felt like I needed some to help my mood, atleast temporarily. I did ask the price, got the money and was ready to pay.
It was gonna boost me, alcohol really would make me feel different, I am pretty sure of a short but worth the while benefit with alcohol, any day anytime.
You won’t believe it, but I did chicken out of getting it ☺️.
I call that self control, don’t know what you call it, unmanly? Weak? Asocial? Poverty? Erm? Whatever?
I was able to give up:
1) Some pleasure I thought I needed more than anything else at that moment
2) Some pleasure with an obvious short term benefit
3) Some pleasure that demands spending and continuous spending to maintain.
4) An energy drink (literally)
I was able to control myself. We all need self control to achieve at different focuses. I mean, I could make a list, but let’s refrain as you keep in mind that you need that self control EVERYDAY, EVERYTIME.
Edit:
It's been three years since that piece was written. I ll like to share with you that I have learnt more about self control. I hope what I learnt amazes you.
I have learned that the best self-control to give isn't the resistance of food, liquor or sex. It's isn't denial of your feelings or the status quo, but the acceptance of it, then finding a way to live through it becomes profitable. It's not the denial of thoughts or obvious feelings, it's is the control of thoughts and feelings (accept what it is and how you feel about certain situations, yet be wise enough to control the reactions of such feelings.
The best of self-control is the resistance of the self. Your self. Your very own heart (Ego itself)
The best of self control is achieved when you:
1) Completely accept your past with happiness (the good and bad of it)
2) Accepting today that you are in control of very little (and so you are practicing detaching yourself emotionally without neglect of duty to those around you or your environment because up till this point, we have ignorantly messed our destinies with our hands)
3) And attempting to create the future with best unbiased knowledge and analysis you can muster (because what you do for the future is what the future would do for you)
You ll find that many "good" people (myself inclusive, that's if I am even considered a good person) find it hard to break that paragraph even.
We regret/cherish the past - it's gone.
Many are control freaks and believe that they must succeed at everything they lay their hands on and create the future with as much biased knowledge they can manifest.
