In the middle of life is something so special that is worth noting. Yet, not all has been able to figure out and even those that have been successful in decoding the centre of life are still battling with how to overcome these requirements needed to progress to the next stage.
I may be sounding very metaphorical if not cynical if I don’t let the cat out of the bag now. This not a suspense though. Hope you have a clue what lies at the centre of LIFE now. Kudus if you have been able to decipher but let’s give our readers on the other side that think that life is lumped up to be like perfect radius of a great circle the benefit of the doubt and educate them. At least the motivation alone will be the reason the will always keep their heads up!
Now let’s make headway. Have you thought of life without a condition, choice and limitations ever before? It sounds so normal to answer in the affirmative but makes you a super human to answer in the reverse. Hmm, at the centre of LifE is the mother of all probabilistic clauses (if) .. You may check that again so you don’t doubt the uncertainties of life and its associated conditions just like Thomas did. At the centre of life is a lonely ‘i’ and a forward leaning ‘f’ put together in the Queen’s language to get ‘if’ which by basic grammar we are taught to be a conditional clause. Oops! Was that a mere coincidence or there is an allegory aback?
As humans, we are battling the “never ending” strokes of life with the conditions and demands of it suppressing us the more. Uncertainties of life leave us in dilemma simply because nature has a way of regulating the doings of mankind which we have little or no knowledge about. Hence , the thousand and one questions asked each and everyday.
In the realms of humanity, there are causes and effects. ‘If’ you do this, that will happen. ‘If’ you don’t work , you become poor. ‘If’ you don’t study, you will fail just to mention a few. These are conditional sentences which lead humanity to always make a choice – whether you know the effect of the cause or not, you are obliged to make a compelling choice.
This is what separates the Shakespeare’s from the ordinaries. Losers give up on their dreams because they are uncertain about the effect of their cause given the conditions of life. Believe you me , the world wouldn’t have embraced light earlier if Thomas Edison had internalized thoughts of limitations and uncertainties given the conditions “what ‘if’ the bulb fails to glow?” Many dreams and talents have been buried with the fear of the uncertain ‘if’ condition.
“What ‘if’ I fail?” Is by far the question asked by students who are yet to take a new course.
Davido, was right ‘if I tell you say I love…’ That’s when I’m tied to the promises I made to you. He might have hidden that aspect of the ‘if’ clause. Until he says he loves you, he can’t promise you a penny-the Versace and Gucci are not yours yet.
Now my avid reader, the fear of failure and the uncertainty of the conditions are making risk taking a problem. It has been said, the greatest risk ever is not taking a risk at all.
What if;
-I say you are the best,
-You are not a failure in your category,
-you are a maker and defier of nature?
The ‘if’ clauses are not to depress and suppress you.
Step out of you comfort zone, make a move insofar as you are not living your life on a circular path, progress would be made and you will surely get to your destined destination from and uncertain location ‘if’ you believe.
