The rich too get off balance

"What is it for a man to gain the whole world but loose his soul"?  Good words from great philosophers that go "deep'. In this world that we are all dragged to live in and suffer and later die, and to proclaim that even the comfortable looking do suffer in silence, a poor man will sleep till day break in peace but the rich man hardly get sleep . Social family matters/disturbances are in the norm. One could act arrogantly for the money power and influence over others but deep within they manifesting some stress.

 The other day i was passing by a dingy hotel kinda looking that the only vehicles you'd find parked there are old 'toyotas' but in the vicinity was a nice modern car guess a 'VX' as Ken told me but my question is why would the owner go to such a place of lowlife , is it for the dominance factor that's where he commands respect most for he's the 'tycoon' or something and not go to where his class will be challenged by other massively wealthy people. I guess thats just the culture of we Africans. Just like another philosopher that heads a lowly performing team in England said "give an African a few pennies and he'll flout them all over for everybody to see". Thats even worse when they just don't do it where it deserves!!.

Yesterday as i was watching  the  Hague proceeding presentation on the news because i cant actually stand to watch live the mediocrity presented  majorly by defense counsels and generally the whole thing seems a sham as they try to rip off all evidence provided by the prosecutor as our beloved country men are humbled to levels they haven't imagined they could go to after all the respect they command here, sure that got them off balance.

I was thinking of how life can be unfair to the 'good people ' of society who suffer but at no one point have they lost their souls , they are the people lovers, kind hearted and all the virtue adjectives you could use but these are the people who will suffer most in our society and even before things look up for them, they die. I don't know to say the favorite quote "God is jealous" and he will take these glorified people amongst all the liking, before mankind start worshiping them and forget him.

I say its not fair  so far I've lost two great aunties  whom by the word of it (mostly from the old lady)  they were the nice people she knew one was her age-mate step sister whom their  life seemed to run concurrently (i bet it so happens when you are close to some one) they were of similar age set,  went to school at the same time, married same year to equally senior bachelors , bore sons (me and Nash) same year. This same Nash after many years of separation maybe due to the location factors and marriage we came to meet in the streets of campus. Obvious it was after regular  phone dialects ," ooh my son's there too they can meet, bla bla...." alot that i cant remember brought to our meeting which i treasure to date for the final 'add up of a face' which i had grown up hearing of but now as an adult i could experience her  and family goodness.

 Unfortunate as life may have it my auntie was already a convalescent and her former glory was no more (i could see by the photos) but nevertheless she was still the person i heard of from my old lady and more reloaded, always jovial, welcoming and nice. As fate would have, she  passed on after a long struggle of cancer. The other auntie is a wife to a brother of my old man who for many years she was barren, the huzzy at some point got retrenched from a high flying job, generally another good soul that did not  need suffer in this world and after all that after having had a young daughter finally a bout of malaria gave her the permanent transfer. amazing how life can be so cruel to the good hearted.

Another soul is of a philanthropist auntie, mother to Ken whom by word from the son i get to know she was an open hearted person despite high flying careers with all the providence that she could for a great life for her sons and to the extent of donating land to churches, but an accident claimed her life too sudden when Ken and the twin bro were too young. you can imagine how those left are left wondering why our auntie, why our mother .... of all?? and quite destabilized i may say..! but the will of the almighty has to be done in fact i guess they are lifted to glories lest they succumb to the evils and temptations  of this world. Death can be as sad more so for those experiencing it first hand and more so when its so sudden. but as always life has to go on for those left behind in fact the mantle is on them.
