SOLUTIONS SOLUTION!

Every problem they say has a solution. I agree. But I've really x-rayed solutions to most of the societal poblems in history and have been left with a surprising revelation or rather a question? Which solution has not left us with more to do or more cost to bear? So can we really call them solutions? Let's have a few examples:

Generators: The light problem was to be solved with this, but with maintainance and diesel costs I doubt so. Wthat about noise pollution and air pollution costs?

Automobiles: Yes we tavel faster and sometimes in the most amazing level of luxury and comfort but with  accidents, inability to walk a mile, maintainance,fuel scarcity costs, lack of parking spaces and the no of crimes committed to procure one makes me wonder if we are not really better off without them.

Computers: Speedy data processing, life at the click of a mouse it seems this invention has really solved a problem. But if we didn't have computers would we have felt any need for them? I leave the costs of this great invention to your imaginations.


The list is inexhaustive. But what is actually the problem? Did these inventions really solve problems for society or did they convince us in some sort of way that the reasons why they came were actually problems? I can understand the solutions in Medcine but the rate of new diseases and the ones that don't have solutions yet makes me wonder where these solution providers really are when we need them the most and where these new diseases come from? Are they as a result of our new and improved ways of living? Or are they Being manufactured and their solutions controlled? I wish I had answers and my mind won't rest as the conspiracy won't rest.

Pride

Once there was a certain young Man. He was a worker with a Family. He had some financial problems and sold his only car to get out of it. Soon the rains came and one morning as he dressed up for work there was a certain change in weather. Soon it started to pour. He could have called either of his two bosses to join them for work but somehow he didn't. He now pondered why either of his bosses wouldn't call him to find out how he would get to work. That would really be nice but he asked himself again how many times he did that himself. Why can't we be the ones to reach out to the poor and needy? Must we allow them to spend their time and energy to our doors before replying them with" sorry I can't help you"? Must we learn brotherly love through pain and strife? If that young Man hadn't lost his car(a painful experience) he probably wouldn't have pondered to see that he hadn't loved his neighbor like himself. What do we go to church every sunday to do? A neighbor once asked me on a sunday if I went to church and I replied that I didn't go to church any more as I was now practising what I learnt from 35yrs of church going. How long do we have to go to church to realise that the main reason for the church lies outside and not within it?

This young man probably didn't call his bosses out of shame at his current state(having to depend on the generosity of his fellow men). Some will interpret it as Pride. Now did  his bosses not call because it didn't occur to them or was it out of pride? I remember Abraham refusing help from someone on the account of it not being said that he helped him.Was this act out of pride? If Jesus begged Herod not to crucify him or begged for his life as most Men today would expect that would have been serious ass kissing. But he didn't so was that act out of pride? I don't know but I'm still searching for answers. Maybe that's why I find it difficult to beg my fellow men for favors. Maybe it's genetic.But I have a question for ass kissers and butt worshippers. If a video of one of your ass kissing scenarios is displayed what would be your reaction. Shame? Then what the f..k is stooping low to conquer?
