The Donkey that Ran a Race with the Lions

The meaning of impossible is the absence of God and what is lost is simply a state of ignorance, yet the world turns, and more people perish whilst ignoring knowledge that saves lives.

A politically correct leader is usual nine out of ten a godless leader, whilst the other one out of ten is the devil himself who at least knows the existence of God but both are no better than the other. You cannot choose your parents but you can surely choose your partner in life but in either case, the same person will still complain equally on both cases. Only a fool will accuse a pig for being dirty and the fool will demand that the pig changes. It is well known that time waits for no one but do we always forget that time is our creation? I saw a lazy person declaring something to be difficult, yet when it was time to spend money he had not earned, the word difficult seemed not to exist anymore. Words are choices; we use them when it appeals to us and when we are more comfortable with them. As one movie line once said, “the word love means nothing until you associate a meaning to it”. Not all fools are foolish in the same way not all wise people are wise. It’s a strange world when the donkey runs a race with the lions.

Years are numbers we choose to measure but age is the experiences we have. Dreamers are those that rest more, but hopeless dreamers are those who confuse night and day. I once saw a preacher preaching the good news, but he was surprised people hated him because his good news was like death to them. Every prophet will prophesy as long as you can hear, when the prophet stops to prophesy it’s not because he has given up, it is because he has noticed you are deaf. If you always do what the Romans do, you might just commit murder and feel like you have achieved something. A people once elected a president and after some time they said he was failing his job, yet when they are asked to create employment they asked foreigners to employ them. Patience is like a cup of tea, it has its beginning and its end but somewhere down the line it will grow cold and you might never finish the cup of tea. If the donkey decides to run a race against the lions at least it must make sure it is faster than all the lions and has a head start.

Don’t be fooled the king will marry many women but only one son will succeed him. I saw a church blame a man for his polygamy and called him a fool, but they forget that the women that entered the marriage are also equal of blame. Changing your husband to make him better is like changing a wheel whilst the car is moving at top speed. A person who prays all day and all night but never works or invests, is like a cook in a restaurant who buys the stove but forgets the ingredients. Show me your faith and surely I will show you your destiny, but if you can show me your works then yes I will see your profit. Never insult your employer, unless if your employer is deaf but even in that case make sure there is no air to carry the sound. The one you trust can disappoint you, get over it but the one who loves you will always trust you, know who loves you more than who trusts you. If the donkey races against the lions there is a risk of the race becoming an eating contest.

Listen, you can complain all you like about the sun, the size of the moon, but what is will be, and what is not, is not. Love as much as you can, hate what deserves to be hated but above all give God his place even if you have never met him. If you give the devil his place then expect trouble at all times. There are many words in life, know which ones to use and use the ones that make sense. Not everything is what it seems.

A Vanity Affair

You are born and then you die. You live, you fight, you win or you lose. Today you are sick tomorrow you are well, but in the midst of all life is wisdom far stranger than the truth so it may seem, we are all having an affair with vanity.

What’s the Point
Without a doubt everyone reading this article is going to die at some point, and will leave all their possessions, their careers, their children, their legacies, their dreams, their businesses their habits and all that they ever fought so hard for. Everything that a person does when they are alive will be left and it will seem like you never existed because the world will keep turning. Someone else will take over your businesses or your visions, things will not be the same, your house may get sold or just neglected. Subconsciously we are in a race against time, or rather to be more accurate we are in a race against death and in most cases age. In being aware that time seems not to be on our side we rush this and that and try so many things in life, we fight for so many things and like what some people would say, we fight for a place in the sun. The battles are hard and we are bruised, we never know if we have really won the war because our lives seem like the war.

In all considerations we are actually living to accomplish our dreams before we die but in accomplishing our dreams we die and we leave those dreams behind. A wise person can ask the question what is the point of all the hard work we do if we are going to leave it all. Why then spend years of education and careers only to die and leave it all? An observer from another world would deem us mad because we strive to acquire things we never brought into the world and then die and leave those things, what is the point? We are born owning nothing except our individuality and we die as individuals yet our hearts burn with desires for assets and success, failure to get this success leaves us sick and depressed yet these things are never eternal to us just as we are not eternal to them. So then, what is the point of this race? Yet in all this there is wisdom greater than death itself.

The Fights
Horribly, people kill for land, money and wealth; they kill for romance and love. Some die for noble quests whilst some are just sacrificial lambs to stupid causes. We fight for things that vanish in our death, things which never go beyond our timeline. We fight so hard trying to possess the land and the wealth yet when we die we never take it with us. All over the world genocides and crimes are committed in the name of now but at the end of the day the same perpetrators die and leave everything they killed for behind. Presidents rule with tyranny and hang on to power as if they are holding on to life itself. In the end dictators come and go, they rule and die, they speak and die, they steal and die, they lie and die, and they boast and die. They are all like the chaff, one day it is here the next day it goes with the wind. Yet beyond in their stupidity we can learn something greater than our education will teach us.

Is it the Pleasure?
Do we fight so hard for dear possessions because they are a necessity or because we are afraid or it is just for the pleasure of it. Obviously a person can live on a million dollars only but none never stopped in just being millionaires which is why we have billionaires in the world. There is enough food in the world to feed each person but famines still occur and people die from starvation. In one part of the world they eat till they get heart attacks and in other parts of the world they starve till their hearts fail. Some drive till they die from accidents whilst some walk till they step on a land mine, yet in all this everyone could have enough. We then need to ask ourselves are we selfish for pleasure or because of fear, do we live as slaves to ignorance or are we just stupid. It’s a paradoxical world and we are the pawns to our own imaginations. Wisdom has never been so obvious.

Breathe for a Moment
For moment think about every fight you have ever been in, think of every misunderstanding you have ever had, think of every tear you have cried; and every despair you have felt. Now think of every happy moment you have ever had, think of every smile you have ever had, think of every success that made your day. For a moment think of yourself dead. Think and see yourself dead, and look at your life. Does anything that you have ever done really make sense? What did you live for in your life? When you were sad was it worth it to finish the day being sad or happy? What decisions did you make which were useful to you? For moment imagine you are dead, what was the point to your life? Think about it for a while, pretend you are reading about your life, what did you achieve?

The Wisdom of Vanity
Understand this, it has all been an affair with vanity that you have been having. Instead of living with truth you have been cheating on life with vanity. Instead of living in truth you have been distracted by vanity. We forget that truth does not die but vanity does, we step into lies but truth remains. When you die your love never dies, your thought never leave you and your feelings will always be there. Everything else will go but the truth will remain. So why waste time with things that do not make sense, simple, because we are in a passionate affair with vanity.
