LOUD SILENCE

To meet and path, they say is the way of life, but to meet and path again is the hope of life.

People we meet everyday tend to become memories someday, somehow along the line, some taken by death, some voluntarily walk out while others fall prey to naiveté, they become the victim of their ignorance of their own art of proper acquaintance.

It is by nature that people come and people go, some stay and still how much of their worth we don’t know, all they leave is prints, mars, the change they created in us. Some of which are strange, others plain, but in whatever format they seem arranged they brought out the magnificence in you as a person, that from the Hellos and the goodbyes there was a lesson a message if not, but yet to be perceived.

The world is as though a market filled with so many traders all at a cost of whatever willing to sell commodities, and they are those who at a cheaper rate willing to buy, some steal even if they struggle in vain to achieve the aim and they are those who ensure to struggle for whatever it is they want to have. In our everyday lives we tend to keep up with different people with different categories, each with a unique perspective, lifestyle, and initiative, spend most of our time trying to ensure that we learn how to make them comfortable around us always, learning to trust, knowing that even trust is a lie, truth is what we bring to ourselves to believe and perfection is just a definition, that there isn't anything true about the truth, that we are only good people because we believe we are and to understand that our morality and ethics are only as barbaric to the next man as yours is to him.

Trust is just a feeling of comfort of safety, because it is just a basic necessity of life to engage in, expect less from men and you tend to least get angered. We all as men were created with our intelligence knowing automatically how to address whatever situation we find ourselves trying to ensure that we are self preserved as the first law of nature stated. Nothing in life supersedes the peace you create for yourself and how well you can make people happy and comfortable.

People are as egocentric as they consider others, for one would never put his feeling behind for another, that no man is a selfless as they may claim they are, that the art of true a philanthropic nature is only as true as our regular lies.  Whatever it is man does he ensures he gets double times what he bargained for.

Pride is a basic necessity and a must for everyman because it’s with pride you attain to certain levels, but how well you tend to subsidize yours is what counts, because in as much as it takes you places it also mars you as a man. A man has to understand that with pride comes a big fall, hence always from each party trying to protect an image, or finding it hard to walk away, “the strongest man isn’t one who tends to be the heavy weight champion, but one who has the guts to stand to the opponent look to his eyes and walk away without fear of disgrace”.

In life we hurt and get hurt, love and get loved, please and get pleased, the world is round and at that it rotates and revolves at same time so not all the time the sunshine on one same spot, some nights may come longer, and the night may seem afar, however, it is darkest before the dawn.
As the days roll we meet unique set of individuals, each elevating from one level to another in our lives, but how well we treat people matters well enough to how we are being treated because someday they are going to leave and all you would have left is the echoes of their silence, the presence of their absence, remembrance of their conceptions and the inceptions that led to what you had have, then you will realize how loud the silence of men can be.
