I
remember updating my Facebook status with a post on how flawed it can get to form
an opinion about the circumstances of people just by looking at them. I
said some people may seem slow on the uptake when they’re in fact very
intelligent; some may appear sickly when they’re fighting fit; others may appear riffraff to you when they’re as moneyed as William Leonard Roberts II
I also said that sometimes the people we look to as ideals to be
imitated, may equally find in us qualities they have strong desires for…
NO ONE CAN HAVE (BE) IT ALL!
I said some may be okay
money-wise and others otherwise, but blessed with healthier family
lives; some can be well-read and possibly working for mighty
corporations, whilst others differently-educated and self-made through
that, etc. I said every single one of us has a want that is not yet
resolved, either covert or overt; be that as it may, our individual
lives will still be what we make them.
Now let me give a related personal illustration:
I met up with this dude at an eating place a moment or two back; but
before that I last saw him at the Immigration Department shortly after
high school; and like truthfully, he gave me the impression of being
someone living a life worth living, certainly not littered by the
economic downturn …Now shortly after, I spoke with a mutual buddy who hangs out with this dude a lot.
I was told during one of their chats he asked of me, and by the same
token, I had also left an impression on him, he thought I was also
living exactly as I desired; to that I had to roll with laughter; I was
like Good Lawd! ‘Ndaysan’ me, already stuck on this awfully obvious
strive? …but yeah, that guy and I were apparently evaluating and
comparing our individual post high school successes ostensibly, perhaps
based on what both of us pretend to be…SMH - ‘Yalna Sutura Yarga’
