The State of Mind of a Poor
Unlike the "blessed are the poor in spirit..." which is a favorite part of the Beatitudes, a poor mind is the worst thing
Poverty is an evil spirit.
Imagine a typical person wants to use self inflicted suffering as a cover up for hard work.
Must I wash in the bathroom and later use broom to push away the residue? Na poor mind dey do am.
There is a difference between inadequacy and extemporaneous provision.
A typical Nigeria believes struggle is part of life which I agree to but his/her definition of struggle is what I deviate from not mildly.
Struggle in the sense that
If I am a student, I should not be taught. The Lecturer can decide just to issue course outline or even ask me to get it from the school's prospectus and prepare for examinations myself.
Or just imagine there is a difference between trekking as exercise and to reduce cost.
The poverty I am referring to here is not just about the low class in society, but people with a poor conceptualized mindset.
Instead of utilizing resources rightly we end up saving and suffering giving excuses.
If I want to exercise I can dedicate a day or two in a week but not turn trekking even when I can afford otherwise into exercise.
Enjoy your life while it lasts.
Don't be a miser to yourself.
Finally let others enjoy from your wealth; don't eat alone.
