BORROWING FROM OUR FOREFATHERS

Knowing that this is the last edition for week 165, I pray to give it my best explanation because the topic is somehow tempting, but I won't fall into this particular temptation. Hahaha 😂.

When you say what do I want back that has long gone, it gives me concerning because I don't know what exactly to bring back. When I was going through the community this morning I saw a post by @hopestylist about this topic which made me understand alot of things that never crossed my mind. According to @hopestylist we can't really say that we want to bring back something that is no more when we don't know why it was taken away in the first place. This is wisdom for me. I love the way it was addressed in that post because before now I am the type that complains about everything that is happening now wishing to have what we had before now back. But I never took time to ask why it was removed for another thing to replace. This is where I need to start with.

Is like going to buy a fairly used phone, did you take time to check why the owner wants to sell it? Most times no. We just saw that the phone is cheaper than what we have in the market. Hmmm! We will only continue to suffer where the owner of the phone stopped. Maybe the battery was always having issues. Maybe it is having network issues and the owner may not want to disclose it. So, when you go ahead and buy it, after two days you will begin to cry and say hard I know.

WHAT DO I WANT TO BRING BACK?
Well for the sake of this post I think that I will like to bring back their HONESTY, TRUST AND FOOD.

HONESTY:
This is one of the things that we have lost and is very important we have it back. Our fathers were honest people. They don't think of cheating anyone. They don't think of killing themselves for anyone reason. Infact people were afraid of doing what is wrong because they believe that the gods of the land will fight for the innocent.

TRUTH
This is another great virtue I know we don't have anymore. People now tell lies without the fear of God. People can kill in order to cover a lie that has been told. I pray we have the sincere man back again on the surface of the earth.

FOOD:
What was that food that kept our fathers longer than us? Most of them died 150 years and today when you look at the posted of people who have died, all you will see is 45, 50 and 60 years. We don't like natural food anymore. We just go ahead and eat junks everyday and is affecting our systems and you see people breaking down everyday. People keep saying that their enemy is attacking them when such things happen, but we eat poison ourselves every day that causes a lot of trouble to our system.

I don't imagine having anything aside these three things from their time, because I don't like their way of transportation. I don't like their kind of houses and I don't also like the kind of clothes they wore before. I pray God help us to be truthful and honest to each other and also eat good food like what they had before.
