For every occasion, there is a need for someone. No one is absolutely useless in the design of nature. In the end, we all live for ourselves revolving and surviving for ourselves. You are nobody until there is somebody above and below you, what is the essence of your wealth when there is no one to impress as everyone around you is rich as you? Classes exist so that we can lord it over ourselves for a classless society is a boring existence. Your money can not do for you everything you need people lower than you to carry out certain task for your comfort. Imagine a world without the downtrodden?
Humanity was reduced recently when people moulded in the image of God took to social media ridiculing beggers and taunting them for voting Buhari. That was the highest display of insensitivity, callousness and mockery. Ridiculing people who never choose to be beggers because your political expectations weren’t met! I have been sore since then.
Who we are is not our making, we are who we are because of the mercy of the Almighty. That we are riding in exotic cars does not mean we are better and more favoured than those walking on foot. That you live in VGC, Maitama does not mean God prefers you to those living in Mushin, Mpappe and Sabon Gari. Everyone isn’t designed to live in affluence at the same time, life is a revolving time machine, at the right time, it gets to everyone. God does not discriminate. When the likes of IBB were reigning supreme in Aso Rock, Goodluck Jonathan was perhaps somewhere in the Greek teaching kids. Do you see how God reversed his fortunes from a classroom teacher to the president in less than 10 years? This happened because it was his time to occupy Aso Rock.
Those who look down on others are weak people with no appointments with greatness. Nothing brings greatness than humility, compassion and respect for the plight of others. Those who recorded those videos of shame actually recorded the beginning of their irrelevance in the comity of those designed to be great. It is your right not to give your money to beggars but it is a mockery of nature to bring to public scorn the beggars you refused to dash alms but comfortable enough to record their privacy and put on the cyber wave for the world to see. What exactly did you achieved denigrating the status of a beggar who never bargained to be a beggar on the street?
I hope the day you will need the beggar, he won’t be on strike?
Insensitively musing
