Worth Noting:
- Aware that he had no capacity to shelter the camel the owner of the shelter should not have accepted to share his house with the camel as the later was stronger than the owner of the house hence any conflict between the two in the owner of the house’s ground would ruin him at expense of the camel.
- Someone who you do not want to spend your life time with as your partner but you realise that the person is desperately looking for a hand in marriage from anyone who expresses to be ready for it. Do not take advantage of that person by expressing your love and wish to court then get married.
When suffering knocks at your door and you say there is no seat for him, he tells you not to worry because he has brought his own stool. …………….. Chinua Achebe.
It is well known world over that anything consumed in excess quantities has adverse effects but there are people who would just wish to give a trial to determine how lethal something is exposing themselves to danger which may culminate to death.
Upon taking the overdose if one survives he will have to undergo intoxification process which is likely to be costly yet he could have avoided that wastage of time and money. If he dies in the process people would be left wondering what went on in his mind that resulted to him making such actions.
Some wish to appear as heroes forgetting that if you succumb in the process you may not become popular as few people would know what you were trying to demonstrate as many of those around you would wish not to associate with your story yet you will be nowhere to tell what has happened.
A story is narrated over and over about a camel that sought for a shed to prevent his head from being rained on. When the owner of the shelter allowed him he sheltered his head but claimed that his hump too needed to be taken care of so it was too accommodated before the camel claimed for the whole body to be shielded from the rain.
Since the shelter was small to accommodate both the owner and the camel it was the owner who was thrown out of the house.
Aware that he had no capacity to shelter the camel the owner of the shelter should not have accepted to share his house with the camel as the later was stronger than the owner of the house hence any conflict between the two in the owner of the house’s ground would ruin him at expense of the camel.
Someone who you do not want to spend your life time with as your partner but you realise that the person is desperately looking for a hand in marriage from anyone who expresses to be ready for it. Do not take advantage of that person by expressing your love and wish to court then get married. If you do not genuinely love that person what you start as a joke may become a strong magnet that attracts you making it difficult to pull out easily.
What you tend to underrate out of no reason will soon dominate you then after a couple of years you get back to your senses where you will claim that you got what you did not like only that you were just experimenting for the sake of fun. Retreating will be a lengthy journey by the time you wake up from slumber you will be left with regrets in life that may culminate in divorce as you will feel that you lied to yourself.
Any religion that you are not aware of and there is nothing tangible you expect to gain from it should be a no go zone. Most of those people who join cult start as a trial and error only to find themselves inculcated into strange culture that have punitive sentences for anyone indoctrinated who wish to exit if at all they have provided an exit clause which is usually a rare case. No matter how much opposed to them you were before joining their ministry they would be willing to inculcate you and retain you forever allowing no room for criticism as you are considered as an insider who needs to observe confidentiality at all times.
Stepping on fire barefooted will lead to your body getting burnt just know that and dare not to test the degree to which one can get burnt as the experience will be both painful and costly to you.
When in a cloth shop and you realise a cloth that the rest of people have been rejecting due to a certain fault is still present and the price is relatively cheap do not buy it thinking that those who will see you wearing it will think it is an expensive material only that you messed up with it upon buying. Once you purchase it the seller will not be genuinely willing to accept it in case you return it as he does not want a dead stock in his business. Those who will see you wearing it will think that you are as faulty as the cloth that you are wearing. Any time you wear it there will always be but in the mind of those you interact with. They will undermine your choice or design of that cloth.
