JOY IN CHAOS

Some joy resides in chaos

Looks like happiness is hidden in pain

While strength lies in disaster

Confidence flapped it's wings

But was subdued by violence

It ain't easy being who we are

We fight through the storm

And still smile to form

Like messengers we passed through this existence

Sojourners moving to God knows where

Our joy found in adversity

We have learned to endure the hard times.

GOOD MEN

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" (Edmund Burke)      That's one of my favorite quotes because it reminds me that it's not enough to have lofty ideas, ideals and beliefs, it's not enough to wish for a better and prosperous life and you shouldn't even wish that life should be easier or loftier, you sometimes have to actually get off the couch and defend those lofty wishes,ideas and beliefs of yours. The world have collapsed,call it sin,call it evil,they all connote the same meaning. Men of different caliber both good and bad have passed through this existence. Though some tried,no one can truly exonerate evil from this world. But for evil to subside good men must fight.      Every reward has a price. The price of greatness is sacrifice. It's almost certain "the good die young" why, because they have reluctantly refused to fight evil therefore,the triumph of evil is inevitable. Good men rise and fall l

    "Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose it's meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity".                   (Carl Jung)    Phenomenal. A genius. A historian who enjoyed the classics. A philosopher who narrated historical events like they were happening in the present. A historian like no other. The Father of the Great Man Theory. After writing the French Revolution, Thomas Carlyle thought he had arrived only to be hit with the bad news that all his works,all his writings, all his dedicated and committed research has been used to start fire in the fire place. John Stuart Mill's maid's carelessness cost a man two and a half years project. Thomas raged,he went mad,he lost it,he gave up in fact,he decided not to write again. But one day a stone mason was rebuilding a collapsed house. Day after day he worked on the  house un

TRUST NOBODY

   (The trust of the innocent is the liars most useful tool)           Betrayal is good,it makes you wake from your slumber believing you can achieve whatever goal you set for yourself, by yourself. But the bad side is,it turns your heart cold.          Pain is good,it makes you stand on your feet believing you can survive any damn bend that life sends your way. The bad side is, you would find it difficult to smile again.          Heartbreak is good,it makes you realize that this life is not always a bed of roses. All that glitters are not gold. Sleeping through your tears you would never allow yourself be used again. The bad side is,you will find it difficult trusting someone again. Not trusting too much is also good but the truth is it turns your heart cold and when your life turns cold you become lonely.        Most times what life throws at us are things we never anticipated. Do not trust too much for people wake up with different feelings everyday. A friend today might
