Greetings everyone, welcome to my blog.
This evening I want to share my view on the topic choose the path of life, and not of death.
For the past few months, a lot has been happening where I'm living. It always melts my heart each time I witness that incident.
I've tried everything I can to stop that young guy from taking the path of death, but he wouldn't listen.
Everything in life depends on choice. Our Choices are powerful, that's why you need to be extremely careful when making a choice.
There's this guy who lives in the same compound as me. He's about twenty-seven years old.
At a mere glance at him, you would realize he's a small boy. He's fond of insulting his mother, and his elder siblings.
He has no regard for anybody. A few days ago, he did something that made his mother angry. She's been causing him other days, but that day was terrible.
He loves playing gambling. And the worst part of it is that most of the time, he does not win.
He will carry the little money he has and play gambling. Once his money is finished, he would come back home to complain to his mother and me.
I always pleaded with him not to play gambling again, and he told me no one could stop him from doing that.
So few days ago, he won, and immediately the money landed in his account, he disappeared.
He returned a few days after squandering all the money. His mother was around when he came back.
So when his mother asked him why he liked leaving the house each time he had little money. His mother told him he prefers sleeping somewhere else with young ladies, and once the money is finished, he would return home, expecting her to feed him.
So he started pouring insult on his mother. He asked her if she didn't do what he was doing when she was much younger.
He told his mother that if he dies, she shouldn't come.
I was shocked that he was saying all those things to his mother, the one who birthed him.
His mother cried out of annoyance and caused him.
Honestly speaking, it was the worst conversation I've ever heard in my entire life.
I realized that there's no single-handed work this guy succeeds in doing. Every door seems to be shut against him.
Sometimes he complains to me about how things are with him. And sometimes I feel like asking him to go to his mother and plead for forgiveness, so she could bless him.
But anytime I want to do that, he keeps exhibiting habits that show he doesn't need anyone to talk to him about that.
Honestly, I'm confused and I don't know how to help him right now. He chose the wrong life path, but it's never too late to choose the right life path.
I know a lot of you reading this post have experienced this before, or probably, you might have someone who is going through this.
Please, how do you intend to help yourself out, and how do you intend to help those people around you?
Remember our choices in life could ruin everything for us, and if care isn't taken, it might lead to an early grave.
To every parent reading this post, try to control your anger, and learn to keep your lips from speaking evil. If you cause your children, who do you think would help you once you're unable to care for yourself?
Bless them, and also talk to them about choosing the right path which leads to life.
Thank you for stopping by.
