Life might not be what you call it.

Life is a paradox. Some think it is an irony. Whatever you call it, maybe that is what it is.

In every human lies the capability for definition. A man’s conviction, passion, values and paradigm shapes his expression.

My rural sociology lecturer once said “there is no reality; every man constructs what he calls reality based on his challenges, failures, triumphs and overall experience”.

Some talk of the rule of thumb but I say life has no hard and fast rule.

I dare say that there are tendencies towards fatalism or egoism that often come with our definition of life. To a man who thinks life has not being fair to him, resorting to fate or going the ‘whatever will be will be’ way might be his best option and to man who feels life has afforded him all he wanted, being haughty and trailing the “I better pass my neighbour” route could just be a way of living for him.

Whatever it was yesterday, there is no guarantee that it will be today or tomorrow. It just might not always be as it is now.

A better appreciation of the key elements of life like responsibility, time, opportunity, friendship, love, prayer and of utmost importance, God, could open us to new experiences that will help us properly define life and make it more meaningful.

What is the wisdom in all these? What you call life might not really be what it is. You need to find out from the designer of life what life truly should be.
