It can be overwhelming and confusing at times, leaving us feeling lost and unsure of our place in the world. But it is precisely these challenges that give our lives meaning and purpose.

When the music dies.

Sometimes the music dies unceremoniously, when we are not prepared for it. It is at this that that your real capacity hidden in your personality comes bare. In all these period you thought you have or lacked the very abilities you possessed. You doubted them. there is what appears to be a new discovery of you, the inheritance, authorities, the beauty, capacity you only hoped begins to pour out like a pop and your reaction is that of surprise.  It is a beautiful thing that sometimes the music disappears uninformed. In the whole noise of the burstling and hostling of the day.

I am not referring  to the atheist who delude himself in a bid to escape the guilt of moral misconduct or as a way to evade his responsibility to a moral God assumed that there is no God. I am talking to a people in this part of the world whether you are a Christian,  a Muslim or a pegan who believes in the existence of one supreme God who is the creator of mankind and the universe. Nevertheless these people deny God everyday of their lives both in their conduct, in their belief system and in their character. They oppress the poor and the weak, punish their victims heartlessly and deny them their rights. In authority we manipulate people, setting people against each other and syphone their resources.

We care less  whether they survived or not , we show all kinds of wickedness, in our conscious minds, we deny that God exits. We embrace a man-made cause, a man-invented ideology, and i...
