Human Imperfection by Teboho Kibe (novels to read in english .TXT) 📕

under your guard, so how will you ensure that each remain in a good state. This can fuel much anxiety, leading to your mental walls of soberness breaking, resulting in utter lack of equilibrium hence needless loss of joy and good purpose in life. So, don’t chase greed, the incapacitated need to have it all. Kick this sting of the first world, that of defilements, to a fathomless pit. You’ll prosper good health and live long, no early heart attacks due to seemingly missed opportunities you will have to experience.

 

Ah! Shall I go on to relate more. Shoo! I must be tired by now, fatigue sets in, but any since life is wrestle I will endeavour to prance and hound. Right, shall we now consider the third dominant sting or protrusion of human imperfection, the fruits of the first world of mayhem? I guess so. Well after a wide gasp and yawn, my stomach begins to shrivel as I unleash our third thistle common in human beings. Okay, my friend it is…Oh pardon me once again friend, you know pal I had to take a nap, pass urine and get some air from outside. This is a nerve wrecking task, not a joke at all.

 

Okay friend, let’s get back to business, now, on a serious note, I figure the third protrusion of the first world of demise to be enmity. Why enmity? Because it is the one responsible for wars we see around us, family breakdowns and so forth. I consider enmity to be quite different from discontent and greed in that it’s the quickest tool or catalyst in blood-spill and for that matter, in a grand scale. However, it’s not only to be considered in an ethnic or racial sphere only, but it can take a diverse form ranging from hating anyone who can supersede you in position or rank, irrespective of skin colour to immediate neighbour, not to mention the rife stifling that can be among family members. So what can we compare enmity to? Oh well it has to be a dead fish. How so? Well, enmity is dead in itself, it’s not wholesome or anyhow imparting good life and morale. It’s stifling, injurious, malignant and ignominious. Have you ever seen a dead fish actively in a school with other fish? Never! How can a dead fish be there when it has no agility, the capability of swiftly going up and down, back and forth. Likewise we never actually get to see those buried in animosity harmoniously interacting with others, they lack dynamism, versatility and good co-operation with others. They are like a dead fish that even cannot be useful to an outside fisherman. So, all those having animosity and enmity are simply dead from inside, they have a heart of stone, that is unfeeling but only inclined to scratch and transfer harm to others. So, there’s truly no base or ground for developing enmity or animosity at any given time and space. We were not born with the powers of retribution, but with the power to embrace and amalgamate. So, discard and burry this dead fish and cease grafting it in to your first world, that of erring, and create in yourself a new heart, that of chasteness and uprightness. Execute well in this regard and you’ll prosper alone, with others and with your Sovereign, hence supreme judge.

 

For now, I’d like to leave the analysis of some of the dominant traits of the first world behind, and try to move on a bit, even though those topics may resurface at times. Okay, what shall we consider now friends? Well, well, well! Let’s move on to talking about why it is essential to have a belief in the superiority or excelling value of the second world compared to the first world.

 

To begin with, in any way imaginable, the second world far outweighs the hideous first world. This is why we dream of a happy family, a good wife, a nice husband, a good job, a nice house, nice car, nice clothes and ultimately the “good life.” Have you ever heard anyone dreaming or fantasizing about the opposite of these. Never! Inasmuch as life is the opposite of death, likewise illicit or rapacious acts, i.e. the first world, will always be a sharp antagonist to the bright sunshine of righteousness, that of the second world. So we need to constantly boost our ego of the magnificence or incomparable value of the second world despite the seeming prevalence or general dominion of the first world acts that are common or ubiquitous in society. For example, if you as a parent has a child who is a slow learner yet who is eager to improve, despite the number of times he or she may fail certain grades, still you wouldn’t encourage him or her to quit school. He wants to climb the mountain and reach the peak, so would you cheer him or her to keep up and let down from trying to improve until he/she reaches the desired goal.

 

The same applies to how we should feel about fighting our inherited imperfection, not how many times we may fall victim to the undesired use of our first world, be it willingly or unwillingly, still we wouldn’t want to stop detaching ourselves to this ruthless and malignant magnet or pull of the first world. We want to have the approach of someone who wants to stop smoking. You see, such a person, even if he or she may suffer many recesses, he or she wont quit making efforts to abandon such a hazardous habit as long as he or she is still mentally turgid or keen to abolish such a practice. So, my appeal, plea and approach to this issue of human imperfection, is not for us to completely blot it out of existence, as if we had the natural ability to do so, but it is like how I earlier said, that we can all strive to paralyze, or incapacitate it from frequent use and manifestation or operation.

 

I’m aware that I may be somehow suggesting an impossibility, but if you would think of sin as having vanished, it’s only then you would psychologically believe that it hasn’t got the power to manifest itself through use or operation. But if you psychologically provide room for it, i.e. for it’s presence in your mind, it is then that you will unconsciously budget a display or manifestation of it at some time during your dealings. You see here my friend, you need to have an attitude of a penniless or utterly financially broke person. Once the person admits in his mind that he or she has nothing, then it is improbable for him or her to fall into increased debt or to needlessly accumulate debt. The person will not even think of using money, because he or she doesn’t have it. But someone who doesn’t want to admit bankruptcy will always try to access or live by the means that are far away from him/her and thereby increasing the needless pain of further poverty and frustration. The same applies to sin, once we think or always try think of it as something that is far away from us, chances for us to go to that dust bin and try to irk out something toxic from it would be slim. It will be like that bin is forever closed, the rubbish bin of the first world.

 

While our imperfection may be evident in all directions, it ought not to be the talk of the day or highlight of character. Like I mentioned before, the second world has the power to outweigh the first. Hence the talk of the day can be, our good accomplishment and not our failings. Why open the lid of a dustbin and magnify its contents while you could breathe fresh air from the company of beautiful trees! How would you feel if someone touring your town and neighbourhood would tell you that he/she enjoyed seeing the vast rubbish bins scattered across instead of commending the real beauty or appealing attractions of your town and neighbourhood? Certainly you be disappointed isn’t it! Fortunately the same positive attitude is being adopted and used by many parents today and in the whole history. They never repeatedly tell their kids how awful they are, instead they always assure them of how much they love their own. Hence children are never raised with much emphasis on their use of their first world, rather, they are constantly reminded how much they are loved, cherished, and how much their efforts of displaying the acts second world in their lives are appreciated. So, if this has been the package that the parents have been infusing and instilling in their kids throughout their growth, why then should this approach or technique dissipate from us when we are alone or wrenched from our families at some later stage or part of our lives! The same enthusiasm, the same confidence and the same positive outlook should be an ongoing thread that will keep our ego of goodness intact, because we were all raised under the good supervision and care of the second world and not that of the vicious first world. Our parents laid the positivity, they laid the good, they sweated to maintain it and instil it in us, so why should we resort to debauchery and the low sink of lawlessness of the first world, and become its slaves!

 

Okay friend, let’s move on to something more vexing: Youth and imperfection. Well, they ought to be the lilies and violets of our garden of human society, but most often they seem to be the thorns and thistles of human society. Our young persons seem to be the very target of the first world. They just give in, just like that. The families that seemed to be pots of putting the ‘dough’ into shape seem to be left without trace, and they come out shapeless from such ‘pots.’ How disappointing!

 

While it is true however that as vulnerable and susceptible they are, not all grow to be obnoxious. Some do see the need to deaden their use or cravings of the first world, that of putridity. However, certain things need to be carefully noted concerning children and teenagers in general. You see, most of us have a life span of about eighty years. A delinquent child or minor normally blooms and matures to absurdity till 18 or 21years while still under the supervision of guardians or parents. This should tell us that the remaining three quarters of his/her life are actually his/hers’. So, any misbehaviour performed after leaving the house will be attributed to his/her adult life.

 

In this vein, now consider who fills prison cells, well, again disappointingly it is the youth, i.e. mostly 35 years and under. But again, take a moment and re-think. The actual annoying crime or vices were considered to be among children, i.e. those under parental care, generally stretching till 18, but now, among the many who were incarcerated we find a new ‘free’ group of delinquents stretching from 18 or 21 till 35. So, among the two groups, the minors and the young adults, who seem to be more numerous or abundant in prison cell? I’m sure you’d say it’s the latter group!

 

So, even though these two groups are generally regarded as the one group of “youth” or “youths,” here we find a difference in the aggravation of vice. The latter group may be more lethal cause they are no-longer under the rigid walls of protective parents, hence their furry is projected even more ferociously, all because they are now of their own. That’s how nasty human imperfection can be, to our dismay and emotional suffocation. Well, well, well! Now that was the bestiality of the first world and its contemning operation and exhibit.

 

Well friends, shall we now try to consider the positive of our children or youth in general, because we certainly don’t want to regard
