Humility In the Ocean of Humanity
Top of the world news has not really been good news examples are MH 370 (Malaysia missing Plane) and Nigeria’s missing girls.
BRIG BACK OUR GIRLS has become a house hold song, some are even acting it like a play (without sincerity) while the hearts of the victims are pierced and that of their parents.
This is not synonymous to the ultimate search where people search for treasures at their leisure if I may put that way.
But I am only in dilemma about one thing, which is ‘missing period’. Sometimes I hear some cry for missing there period at other times I hear some celebrate for missing there period. That is just for the concerned people. So also I am in dilemma about the Nigeria’s missing girls.
I headed for the church searching for my missing ‘thing’ but just at the gate of the church where I met the gate man. The way he looked at me and talked to me suggested that I did not need to see the Pastor….humility once lived there but he has shifted base.
I decided to visit public and private organizations. My encounter with the gate man (gm) wisely and widely informed me that I should not go any further to seeing the general manager (GM). Though the gate men may not have done that deliberately, maybe I assumed they really know who/what I was searching for. The pastor and the general manager may have it or at least be able to direct me to where I could find him. My assumption might have made an ass of u (you) and me (ass-u-me), I say that with caution.
Humility is actually what I am searching for in the ocean of humanity. When did it loss signal with my control tower? Where did it detour and finally (maybe) drown in the ocean of humanity like MH 370 (of Malaysia Airlines). Could that also be credited to terrorists, I mean the loss of my missing ‘thing’? ...
I will not be able to write much on this to guard against conflict of opinion. If you have humility with you/in you, I am ready to pay you a visit and if you know where he resides now, kindly give a pointer, I am all out for him. Let me use the words of Mary;
“And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.” John 20:13-14.
...I do not know where I/they/you have laid HIM, even him (humility).
Let it also be that when I turned myself back to this post I will read your comment.
