Sometimes, I just wonder how we think and reason. At some
point in our lives, we fall or have fallen victim of deceit and deception, yet
we still stick on and purposely get blinded by the illusion of truth, which are
obviously, all lies.
When I see certain things, relationships and associations
based and existent on lies and deception, I wonder when we will emancipate
ourselves from the bondages we let ourselves into. I’ll give a clear cut
scenario, which is a real life event. Why do we believe and live in so much
lies and deceit and do not even flinch, despite knowing that they all lies? A
young girl, or better still lady, whose fashion sense used to be perceived as
quite “normal”, started working and subsequently, she began an upgrade of her
wardrobe. In fact, a serious upgrade is what I’ll call that. Of course, it is applauding,
but before she upgraded her wardrobe, which is where my concern lies, she
didn’t have a lot of “hello” and “hi”. She didn’t have quite a number of young
boys clustering round and about her. She was seen or classified as the “girl
next door”. The regular girl.
As soon as there was an evident improvement, the
number of young boys clustering and seeking her attention was on a constant
increase. She started receiving anonymous calls, “Hi” and “Hello” from who I’d
rather refer to as strangers. But of course, from her reactions and blushes,
she is enjoying all the attention she’s getting and of course, encouraged by
the popular saying, “ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTS”. She her choice. Now, even if she
knew it was all falsified, and the attention received was as a result of her
“tushness”, she still decided to fall for the lies and dance to the false tune
of the new guy on the block. The promises he made, she knows will not come to
reality but she’d rather wallow in the river of lies than be patient for “the
one who never came”. The one true guy and supposed love.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying there shouldn’t be a
major improvement in one’s fashion sense. As a matter of fact, I love stylish
people. I’m also not saying love doesn’t exist. I LOVE the idea of being in
love. All I’m saying is simple. Be patient enough to wait for that right girl
or boy. When we’re waiting for the right thing or waiting to do the right
thing, it seems too long but we must not wither in the faith of keeping it
strong. Stay true therefore to yourself and SHINE YOUR EYES!!!
As always, this is my perception.
