Never lose sight of yourself


Attitude is a gift
Character a parameter for distinction
But these two are virtues eroded in our generation
We cannot differentiate one from another
Because, society has brought upon us cliché, trend and modernization
Values which were once celebrated has been eroded and
In its place, what was once seen as an abnormality
is been propagated as a norm.

How did we get here?
Civilization came with its own burden
part of which is Interaction between people of different faith, culture and moral
This having its own merits and demerits impacted on our way of life.
While some people embraced it in its entirety others antagonized it till death
In the end, we had two extremities
On one side, those who abandoned their way of life for the foreign culture
On the other, those who criticized and would have nothing to do with it
Still, its effect is, and would remain
an intricate part of our daily interaction and communication.
We are not estranged to the various exhibitions of dispositions once alien to our culture
And sometimes, it is intentionally being shoved down our throat, literally.

It is difficult to define us today cos
We are quick to imbibe and accept every trend, values and cliché thrown at us
We adapt to every in vogue thought, act or presentation from mainstream media
Till we become amoebic in nature, without form or shape.

What can be done?
Try all spirit, take a stand
It is true that human is a dynamic being,
with the ability to adapt to its environment, situations and vibes
But i believe that one must not be blown to and fro by every tide
You must find that which is consistent with your nature, psyche and orientation and
Flow with it. While, being open to learning and expose on the matter


Attitude is a gift
Character a parameter for distinction.
Whatever culture you imbibe
Never lose sight of your real self!
