Life seems complex since most of what happens to us as humans is predestined. I also think life is abstract as it is full of ups and downs, excitement, disappointments, grace and disgrace, and a lot more that I may not be able to capture through my piece. I'm sure life must have happened to all of us. One way or the other, we have been faced with life difficulties that come without prejudices.
There is a popular saying that 'life is not a bed of roses', there are times when life will be good and there are hard times, there is resting time and there are times of hard labour, all are encapsulated in a single colourful and sometimes colourless circle called life.
Waking to see the light of a new day is even a privilege as some people even sleep without waking up. Seeing a new day means to be alive, we jump out of bed and get set for the day's work while, some wake as early as 4:00 am, or 5:00 am, some leave their bed as late as 7:00 am, life, what can be used as a perfect definition of it, life is life, some will say it is the absence of death, life is the definition of itself.
In the scientific view, life is defined as the coordination of three elements: water, blood, and the body. In contrast, in the Christian perspective, life is understood as the harmonious interaction among three distinct entities: the spirit, the soul, and the body.
From understanding, the soul can also be referred to as the mind, the mind of a life-being, the centre of decision, the decision to remain alive, or the decision to die.
The mind determines what kind of life the person will live, the kind of person he or she will be, the level at which he or she will operate on the globe and the words that he or she will utter. Mind itself is a battleground where a lot takes place, which is why psychologists can not but respect the mind as it serves as the basis of their study. Human is capable of doing anything they put their mind to.
The state of the mind
Being happy and sad is the best state of mind that is often determined by what happens around us or to us. It is worthwhile to know that a happy mind is a sound one. For instance, an old man can jump up so high that even playing football will be normal to him because he is in a state we call the right state of mind.
The state at which a youth can dance without shame to God in a church program without missing a beat, everybody loves it, every individual wants to be in the right state of mind, and even a madman still smiles whenever his or her mind is at the right state, even the sick on the sick bed sings and play with people when at the right state of mind.
In my opinion, being optimistic seems to be a perfect word for a happy state of mind but life occurrences, situations and circumstances have made the exact opposite of happiness to be the order of the day in the nation. A lot of terrible things happen without prior notice. We must be sure to give thanks to our creator for allowing us to manage in the present moment of hardship and uncertainty.
It is not new to hear that day in and day out people die of hunger, A series of rational and irrational thinking has clouded the minds of the people of the nation thereby putting them people in a moody state of mind (a dangerous and cancerous state of mind), unknown to the people it crawls in, without permission, it crept into the life of people to exert its effect just like infection, more dangerous than cancer itself.
Why are we always moody? Can we be forever happy? Why do we have to worry about so many things when we know death is certain and may come at any time? These are questions that run out of people's mouths unconsciously.
We only have a life to live so we should endeavour to live to the fullest and enjoy every bit of it as far as mind, soul and power take us.
