WHERE YOU WERE BORN
Waking up early in the morning, rubbing off your eyes with the back of ur palm, you don't remember anything that happened within the long hours of sleep. Growing up was like the world existed only within the village. It was like a norm for parents to give birth to more than 5 children in a home for the sake of helping them in farm land. The Sons will skip school for the farm, daughters are not allowed to go to school simply because it is believed that they only have a place in the farm, then the kitchen to take care of, cook, wash and produce children.
Our Grand parents lived this way till it got to the century before us. Unforseen circumstances came into the life of a growing baby who was born into a hectic life where the parents would have to farm for their neighbor for food. Where education is denied because you can't afford your fees. You spend time having a different view about life. No matter what your parents try, they can't give you any meaningful life. You keep thinking if you were actually in the right place on planet.
Some parents had lands for sale which was inherited from their grand parents, some had palm plantations, some oil wells. Others had nothing because they changed their locations during the world war. No inheritance. They settled down and produced kids. No deep plans about how these kids were going to survive in future.
When these children grow up, seeing how other families are wealthy, eating good foods and living good lives, they begin to question themselves if they're actually where they're supposed to be.
Life hits hard, you get subjected to thoughts beyond your age limits. Everyone within your zone are trying to multiply what they have because of this no one wants to care if you're okay with what you have or not. Unbalanced equations trending among families of same tribe, it weakens the body and soul.
When these things get worse, the only way out is to become selfless through giving. Understanding the importance of giving to the needy who are among us is very important. Most persons who don't like giving didn't get rich through their sweat, they got rich by inheritance. Sometimes giving isn't looking for someone who is mad, who has no clothes or food for the day, Good Giving most times is giving to someone who can get up and work with what was given to him to help others grow. Greed and selfishness has spoilt normal ways of helping people.

Most times people hide under their shell to avoid embarrassment because others will see them as beggers. Truthfully, they're really beggers. The society see them as poor. They can't be employed because they have no access to school, no skill. They're not where they're meant to be. They'll be in same condition throughout life unless someone comes in to help them. All they can manage to get is daily bread with no hope of eating another tomorrow. Most times they go to bed hungry. They can't save up for any future. Their life is worthless, they need amazing help. If we look around within our environment and there's no one we could help, then there are people elsewhere who need our help. You're a guidian angel to someone and you need to locate them. They could be in a different location outside where you're staying, even oceans away. Destiny needs you to meet them. When you see people misbehaving or acting insane, ask yourself
"ARE THEY WHERE THEY'RE MEANT TO BE?"
May we not always judge people based on what we see them do but get closer and do the little we can to help them....
