Beyond Feelings



Image result for feelings quotes

Feelings? They can be nice sometimes. Like when you have deep feelings (of love) for someone and they love you right back.
But they can be that thing that stays right with you when you want nothing to do with it.
Like when you love someone who doesn't even know you exist. Or you still love someone you were with who is totally over you, and doesn't even remember the first alphabet of your name.
Most of us, as humans have feelings. It is a part of us: whether we want them or not.
However, we cannot make major life decisions simply based on feelings. We cannot accept to marry someone simply because whilst proposing they looked deep into our eyes and our hearts started beating faster than we ever thought possible.
You can't take a knife and go stab someone simply because the way they talk or walk or dance annoys the heck out of you.
Feelings can be fickle. Even Jesus had them and they were on full display in the garden of Gethsemenae and all he wanted to do was give up on the reason for coming to Earth. But he knew He couldn't let his feelings have him although he had them.
There would be many regrets if we don't deliberately let go of certain things even though we truly deep down in our hearts really want them, yet knowing the end of that thing would be nothing but terrible.

A god’s election.

All the houses that led to the Kansie shrine had no aluminum roofing. The first thing you noticed at the premises were the skull of donkeys in the rocks that housed the shrine. The skulls were kept buried because whenever it was left in the sun, the entire village suffered migraines. Everyone who entered the shrine had to be topless. No one ever returned from Kansie still bearing whatever issue had caused them to enter into it in the first place. This was where recognized fetish priests sought fortification from; and where they directed important people to seek help when they knew they could not handle the situation they brought with them. One had to be parsimonious and ready to do as was directed, because when the gods decided on what sacrifice they wanted, no appeal was heard. The national election was in two weeks and Fynn Aggrey was contesting. This was his second time running and although six others had picked up nomination forms, it was a clear contest between Fynn and Nii A

I want to be like you..,sure?

Just before he entered University of Ghana he was involved in an accident so had to move around with the aid of crutches. During that time, there was intermittent supply of water, meaning he needed to go fetch some for use. His cousin who had been helping him throughout his registration had left after he got his room and bed.  Now there he was, standing in front of the hall, with a bucket by his side, metals in his legs, P.O.P around them and holding his crutches; feeling extremely depressed wondering how he was supposed to function in school without any help; asking himself if he should have just stayed home. But right there, he saw another student walking towards the hall, a visually impaired student, tapping the ground with his cain as he made his way slowly into the hall. He said that was the last time he allowed himself to ever get depressed about whatever situation he found himself in, because as bad as he felt his present situation was, he had so many other things going on for

Madness or Hope?

A few days ago whilst talking to a very special friend and teasing him about how he doesn't seem to 'remember' me when his money comes, he suddenly said; 'okay say what you want, but tread cautiously because if it is not within my budget, you would not get anything at all' I started laughing because I felt like a beautiful trap had been set for me and i could not figure out how to navigate my way around it. Well I was unable to mention anything I wanted. I still haven't been able to. Imagine getting an endorsed cheque, yet blank, from someone with large financial resources and the person asking you to write whatever amount you desired. The only catch is that you should have faith that the person has enough in their account to grant what you write. Yet, you are plagued with the question:'what if I get to the bank and it bounces?' I write these blogs not because I'm always in a perpetual hopeful mood. There are days that I sincerely worry about how
