Every human being lives life based on a particular knowledge or understanding and this affect the turnout of such in life. Also, the choices and decisions we make in life are a product of a particular knowledge or understanding we have which can be referred to as a code. This can be as a result of upbringing, exposure either (right or wrong), personal decision, experience and so on. Personally, my own code for living and which i live by is LOVE. This defines how i live life and also relate with other people which has produced tremendous results too good to be denied.
I found out in life that every human being loves to be loved or desires to be loved. Love as i know of is the panacea to most if not all of humanity challenges and problems as it tentacles if far and near. Infact, humanity is founded and it thrives on love as it is the bedrock of life. For example, the family which is the unit of the society and the foundation for a nation is established based on love between a man and a woman which also is the first place each individual experience what love is all things been equal. In addition to this, all human relationships like family, friends, workplace, associates, acquintances etc only thrives where there is love.
It is good to know that love brings joy, peace, progress and fulfilment. Where there are strives, anguish, bitterness and all evils/vices, it is because of an absence or insufficience of love. The problems faced in nations of the world and between the government and the governed is because there is no love as true love is not selfish, corrupt but considerate and put humanity first. Philanthropic gestures and good deeds are as a result of love for humanity. Even as a family man, it takes love to be effective and also as a boss at work and because of the nature of my work as a healthcare professional, empathy as a result of love and passion keeps me going everyday and gives me a hope for a living.
No matter how things gets bad, i will always chose love and not deviate fromit as it takes love to overcome and be victorious. Love is selfless, sacrificial, forgiving/giving, bearing/forebearing etc. I came about love firstly from the home i was raised and from the background i came from even though it's a humble background, but i see the power of love and all it can do beyond reasonable doubt. Also, based on my faith as a Christian, i learnt and believe in love as seen in that from God to us as humans. Also, based on the books i have read from prominent authors, love is indeed my best choice to live by.
Therefore, my code for life and living which is love is what i believed in and I'm walking daily to abound in it and gets better in it. By it i relate well with my family (both nuclear & extended), colleagues, friends, associates, staffs, neighbours, fellow citizens and other category of people. Loves keeps us united as a nation despite the tribal, cultural, ethnic and religious differences unto a progressive living, making our world a better place to live. Of a truth, offence will come and we may be offended, but loves keeps us going. Thank you for reading and comments/contributions are welcomed.
