Less Human

How we become less human, As children, we grew up loving to see people around us. 
Nothing gave us more joy than having our siblings, cousins, friends and neighbours around.

Our parents had little or nothing, but our glow, strength and wealth were in relationships, especially in families.
 The joys and memories of holidays and celebrations remain fresh and evergreen in many hearts.   Mute2


We would usually lose sleep to happiness during such seasons. It was always a delight to see siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews, uncles, aunties, grannies, etc.

We shared everything in common. We ate from the same plates, shared the same cups, bathed together, slept on the same mats, and were even covered with the same sheets at night. 

We accompanied each other everywhere, including the toilet.
One's fight was everyone's fight. One's victory was everyone's victory. Goal

Sadly, as we began to grow up, we began to grow apart. We began to raise fences over our once unfenced houses to imprison ourselves, thinking we were shutting others out.   Mute1


Class, complex, offence, I am busy, don't disturb me, we are not that related, etc, began to set in. 
Now we've made enemies out of one's neighbours, foes out of families, foreigners out of friends, and witches out of the ones we once considered our true riches. 

It is now pleasurable to demonise each other behind each other. 
The children of yesterday who kept vigil over the joy of seeing each other are now adults and they don't want to see each other, with everybody ignoring everybody; forming busy schedules and feeling over-important.   



Family members now keep malice for years over minor or no issues. 
We have become total strangers to each other as though we did not grow up within the same streets and districts. 
Bad enough, the elderly ones who should call and chair family meetings from time to time to strengthen family bonds, now prefer to rather sit and watch, or even help fan the evil fire of disunity,  by joining the camp they are benefiting from.
Love?

Once children are now adults, go to places of worship more, and claim to know GOD better. But our behaviours and characters are not getting better.
 We have titles on our necks, with no love in our hearts. We appear to be so spiritual but rather act so carnally. Unforgiveness, anger, envy, 'biffing', hatred, selfishness and the like, are the traits we exude everywhere we go.
We grow old but not the time

The question is:-

Where is the love of old?
Where is the kindness?
How did we get here?
Where did we lose grip of what is most important and picked up what is of no importance?
How have we become adults and fewer humans?

Who has bewitched us?
It's time to go back to our childhood. It's time to love, care and look out for each other as families should as amply taught by Paul in Philippians 2:1-5

We must wake up and realise that we are stronger together, better together and will achieve more together.  We will be healthier, live longer, and leave better memories with each other when we come together. To-do list
