Scope of Life

                                    
LIFE WITH YOU AND  THE OTHER.
Life is just like a construction work, the joy of building anything rest upon the shoulder of a man but men. Every human material no matter how many minute the effort maybe, there is an actor therein; no man is an island. It does not take the architect alone to build a house, the Carpenter, the surveyor, the labourer among others all have their roles to play.


No man can live life alone. No one can be mirthful in isolation. In fact, isolation is a fate worse than death itself; communication is essential, human communication is one essence of life hence, the need for the other.


No successful man can claim he hit it alone without someone's aid either in cash or kind. 

That we need no one is an excuse by those with basketful selfishness. Everyone is an actor in the field of life except that the position we occupy often differ like in a partnership business where we have various type of partners however, there is no place for a dormant partner in the business of life.


Consider travelling on a bus, the driver is in charge but we can not watch him drive us into death. Any ugly misconduct raises decibels. Obviously, that you are not at the driver's seat does not mean you should neglect the course which the car takes. 


In our jostle to become better than our supposed counterparts, quite a few have ended up becoming deadly competitors,  they have assumed the status of "trust no one," "live is the survival of the fittest" and then we forget that life only gets colourful when we give others places of importance in our being.


This is not to exonerate the fact that many a action in life and decisions to be personal. Everyone has got to do what is rightly judged in their conscience but one cannot live life without the other. After all, life thrives best in unity.


No one is perfect, no one can give himself  all he wants in life. Often than not, he has got to look up to others for a few things. Hence, the need to hold our relationship in esteem. It is funny that many people do not know how to manage and establish cordiality even with  someone they do not know. And no thanks to our security mindedness.  Life goes beyond today and we cannot afford to tag anyone as unimportant.


Zig Zig lar said, "Life is an echo." Perhaps, many will not understand this until it dawns on them just like this sour truth hit me in the face last week. I needed data for my browsing and I do not have enough to buy directly from MTN. I informed a friend and she gave the number of a guy who could help. As I dialed the number, I realised he is on my contact list; someone I had severally taken for granted, someone I had shoved off with my attitude.


I called his number for several days but he did not respond. I sent What's app messages but he did not respond. Well, he has the opportunity to take his own pound of flesh; have I not been ignoring his messages too before he got tired then. Whereas, my roomie called him and he picked but not without asking if it was I or not.


I had to resort to getting the data at higher price which I could have gotten from him for free or at a cheaper rate if I had managed my connection with him well.



Life between you and the other cannot be avoided. Manage your relationship with anyone you meet well, do not treat anyone as irrelevant.
