What is your talÂent?
Does it benÂeÂfit you or othÂer in your comÂmuÂniÂty?
Does it bring growth or scatÂter?
There are indiÂvidÂuÂals who got astray talÂents.
Do you know that there are peoÂple giftÂed to see negÂaÂtivÂiÂty in anyÂthing no matÂter what?
Just a slight or bad trait no matÂter how good an indiÂvidÂual is?
The talÂent is so fierce such that they can easÂiÂly recruit more than one or more peoÂple to hate an indiÂvidÂual or even soil and tarÂnish a charÂacÂter.
We live in end times, if you want to see such wickedÂness involve an Adam’s clan to an equaÂtion then you can see young nymphs runÂning up and down to charÂacÂter slay or murÂder a desired indiÂvidÂual until they achieve it.
This weakÂened trait exists in churchÂes, reliÂgious set ups, bars, streets, and anyÂwhere.
I have not seen it with the males but I sureÂly witÂnessed it in the past decades in mulÂtiÂple set ups and varÂiÂous counÂtries.
One man said “GosÂsip eats the soul or light of an indiÂvidÂual but then some Eve’s clan, careÂless when it comes to matÂters of the heart and it is so heartÂbreakÂing to see that some men have joined this chaÂrade of charÂacÂter assasÂsiÂnaÂtion withÂout a thought of conÂseÂquences.
AnothÂer alarmÂing Vice is being a by stander and watchÂing charÂacÂter assasÂsin when you know the real truth! Many peoÂple just talk after the worst has occurred.
What hapÂpened to virtues? Who are we raisÂing? Elders, adults who watch a perÂson broÂken into pieces, youth charÂacÂter murÂderÂing, when it is your own child expeÂriÂencÂing this will you be a bystander or will you pick up the pieces?
In the past a child belonged to the comÂmuÂniÂty, today a child belongs to their parÂents, that’s why they do as they please and their quesÂtionÂing is withÂout respect because we put walls when ours is not in the finÂishÂing line!
Lot of peoÂple are conÂcerned where they benÂeÂfit only, sowÂing good is not their porÂtion, May it scatÂter that you gathÂer thinkÂing you are clever and othÂers are fools when they help you whole heartÂedÂly, when they give you whole heartÂedÂly!
May it only return once you learn humilÂiÂty and mutuÂal respect and love.
If you can purÂposeÂly say the affirÂmaÂtions of am a builder, and stand, advise, rebuke and build kids and junior youth when you can, moral decay will diminÂish and order shall be retained, let your talÂent be to build, as you cross over to the new year, let your resÂoÂluÂtion include the talÂent of buildÂing othÂers, speak posÂiÂtive about othÂers, do good and blow feel good moments!
Let you resÂoÂluÂtion include am an eleÂment of change rather than grudges, wishÂing pain, sorÂrow, revenge, and failÂure to othÂers.
