LOUD MEDITATIONS 1

I have promised to write about my exciting experience in China in upcoming post, however I am hard pressed for time. I will write about it, but before then I want to share some musings I have been having these days with myself with you. Share with me your thoughts on them and let's have an engaging discussion.

1. How many of us get frustrated when we go to our favourite hairdresser for a new look and she’s fully engaged for the entire day? And bear in mind, that is the only day you have scheduled to have this task done with. I remember I have to spend an entire saturday waiting for my turn for a hairstyle that only takes 2 hours. So why didn't I just go to a different salon you ask? Remember I said its my favourite salon? But what if there is a way I could inform them ahead of time so they are aware of my arrival? This will not only save me time, it will also ensure my hairdresser doesn't lose any of her favourite customers. What do you think? Well check out BookGMT on Google Playstore and Apple Appstore and tell me what you think okay?

2. What's with the local news reportage these days? Why do they relish the report of tragic news compared to news of success and goodwill. I was recently in a commercial vehicle "trotro" and the news reporter was talking about the unfortunate death of a mother and duaghter. The two were selling by the road and a car with failed brakes ran over them, killing them instantly. You will think the reporter was describing the plot of a Ghanaian movie by the way he was going on and on. He took close to ten (10) minutes decribing this sad and unfortunate incident and did so with a lot of enthusiasm and details. Why? All I could think about during the whole reportage was how a family member of the deceased would feel listening to this. There was no empathy or concern whatsover. And this is not a single occurence. Are they used to such news that they have built an immunity? And to top it off, he went ahead to advertise mosquito spray within the next two seconds of describing the gruesome death of two human beings whose lives have been tragically cut short. Where did we go wrong?

3. Why is it that some people take those who love them for granted? When you have someone in your life who is willing to do anything for you, please don't abuse that power. And yes, we are all guilty of this. By writing about this, I am being self-aware and consciously taking steps to correct it. And I hope you'll do that too. Some of y'all have people who will walk through fire for you, but you make that person feel insignificant and not worth the efforts of your love. Just remember that these people are human too and they have feelings that do get hurt. And just beacuse they love you, doesn't mean you should have a sense of entitlement to what they have or their time. When someone's love for you becomes their weakness instead of their strength, know that it will not last long and you would've lost a friend. Please treat them with respect and dignity, and if you can't repay them in the measure they give you, appreciate them.
