POWER vs WISDOM

POWER DOESN’T 1…WISDOM DOES 2

The advent of the First and Second World War through Cold War up till date… as revealed that human thirst for POWER is second to none.

Well, it’s no conspiracy to say…the human spirit has an undying thirst for POWER. I mean, the core values of man is to subdue, control, and respected.

NOTE; “Being OPPRESSED is against the backdrop of the Human Nature”

Basically, all humans are given same mandate and core values… as the “creation” system (be it the Almighty theory or Big bang theory) didn’t make any specialty for some particular individuals or race, clan, family to evolve above others.

I mean no man can boast of two heads...it’s one for everyone. But, it’s a bit unfortunate that the corruption of our minds is what brought about self inflicted torture of oppression we’ve been forced to find some sort of pseudo in.

“He that oppress the poor, reproach his maker/nature/science”.

Tracing absolute power way back to the ancient times of the Pharaohs, Khaleesi, Caesar, Emperors… those who had a great share of control, subdue and respect/honor … gifted with the pleasure of oppressing their subjects… breaking forth into the era of dictatorships, credits to the likes of Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin… all having one thing in common--- BRUTALITY.

To an extent, I’m sure many of the above mentioned never thought it… that wielding so much power was going to short-live them… in their mind it was to be an everlasting reign, which is enough to blindfold the mind to never see talk less of knowing that POWER is a ‘SPIRIT BIRD’… no one can hold unto it for too long, else it hunt and hurts you — we are only allowed to maximize it.

Yes! MAXIMIZE POWER! “Power is a spirit bird that cannot be caged”. Isn’t it funny to witness the embarrassing manner at which the mighty Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe was ousted from all decision aspects of the country he ruled for good 38 years? He was even lucky not to have tolled the rail of brutal death, same path Mohamad Gadhafi tolled in Libya.

Let me bore you with some biblical stories… having glance at powerful men from the Scriptures…one man comes to mind first--- Samson, but isn’t it also funny how he was captured and brutalized to death? With all the physical and spiritual power he possessed, he was unwise to have been captured foolishly and died shamefully.

Today, we can easily conclude that these sets of “Power Mongers” have been a menace to planet earth and habitants. We could only wish they never happened. Men who think POWER is the end point! No it isn’t! There’s a trick to maximize the Spirit Bird.

Benito Mussolini told his mother when he was a boy. “I shall make the earth tremble”.

 

Yes, he shook Italy with his penknife but definitely not the ‘earth’.

He’ll forever regret his rush into WW2; also regret his unrepentant attack towards Great Britain after Winston Churchill’s personal plea letter to him in 1940. In March 1945 at Gargnano, Mussolini made his penultimate sentence...

My star is set, I am finished…I work and exert myself, though I know it is all a farce…I am the captain of a ship in a storm. My ship has broken up and I’m floating on a piece of wreckage in a tumultuous sea. It is impossible to save the situation! No one hears my voice and I now withdraw into silence…death has become a friend who no longer frightens me.

At the point of death, his last word was “shoot me in the chest”.

YOU NEED A TRICK! 

Historical facts and figures as revealed over time that power tussles amongst world “big guns” brought about the WW1 — instigated by small nations, financed and hijacked by the “big brothers”... taking center stage around 1914 and ends in 1920s…another broke forth in 1939 ends in 1945…

Both wars gave the world one thing in common — LOSS!

If true is the assertion of Nicolo Machiavelli that “the end justifies the means”… then the end means of power is LOSS! Although there’s a system to control the Spirit Bird from a distance.

You practically need a tiny long rope! That’s all you need to control.

Oh yes a tiny long rope…

If you grow up in the 90s, then there’s something our childhood days taught us — especially if you want to sustain power! get a KITE!

As a child I could recall making a nylon kite with stick brooms…the kite is useless until I tie a rope to the tail, to attract other neighboring kids.

So doing, I have to make my kite strong and durable so it could fly high against all odds amidst the winds. And before you say jack… Jacks are all over the place playing the kite game. Hahaha…somehow, I control these guys---first thing is making my domain a centre of attraction, then I make sure my rope is long enough to control my little spirit bird up there. “The farther it goes, the more attraction I make”… that was just the trick back then.

Today, the only trick that can control POWER is WISDOM.

A wise man will not hold unto a spirit bird---a wise man will not cage a spirit bird either…instead a wise man gives the spirit bird a restricted freedom…a wise man controls his spirit bird at his perusal just like a drone…Ha-ha.

All a wise man need do is to fasten a tiny long rope at the feet of his spirit bird…Poom! Power becomes a subject to him.

For example the ‘Tech geeks’ today can shut down any powerful nations economy and political autonomy by just one click. I mean they don’t need to be a Political President to do that…all they’re successfully doing is creating a SYSTEM that will command World Presidents to their mercy.

I need not tell you how powerful and influential Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Jack Dorsey (President Trump wouldn’t trade his Twitter account for anything)…these are BIG MEN to the world; they control what’s going on, dictating for the world.

For the records, talk of world Philosophers/Scientists in Albert Einstein, Plato, Aristotle, Aristarchus of Samos, Williams Shakespeare Stephen Hawking and more…dead but not forgotten.

Men who didn’t need a battalion to capture the universe at their finger tip.

One last glance into the Scriptures (the book of Kings)…here I found a king who ruled a nation for 40years without a single opposition! Not even from neighboring states.

It was a 40year peaceful reign. A feat no political leader has ever matched till date. Any day anytime I give it to the WISEST KING ever lived KING SOLOMON! He never had to battle any nation to get tributes, He bothered less on capturing cities so as to instill fear…all he did was to build wise SYSTEM that will make the world look stupid without Him. Few verses out of his numerous words

 “Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men” (proverbs 2:12)

 “Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding” (proverbs 3:13)

 “For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can be compared to her” (proverbs 8:11)

 “Wisdom is like honey, if you find it, there is a future hope for you” (proverbs 24:14).

Emerging into the 21st century, observers came to the understanding that HARDWORK don’t pay, SMARTWORK does! We are in a century where technology in First World Countries is speeding on nitro, people are inventing newness each day, machines are massively substituting human labor, systems are being built around institutions, institutions is being built in already made systems, fossil-fuel is gradually going extinct, solar energy is making waves. Believe me first world countries are already a century ahead of the entire Black continent. Africa needs to WISEUP!

 It’s high time the EAGLES starts flying above the high mountains

 High time the CHIPOLOPOLOS starts firing their bullets to glory

 High time the INDOMITABLE LIONS starts hunting globally

 High time the ELEPHANTS starts dominating global fields

 High time the BLUE SHARKS starts dominating the sea

 High time the BLACK STARS starts dominating the sky

 High time the GO BOYS GO BOYS start becoming Men and stop thinking like boys.

It’s high time we started to make and invent newness… Africa needs to stop being the dumping site for first world countries…our ideas needs to start going global…our inventories needs to start serving us. Our leaders needs to stop being greedy…the populace must have a rethink. We are not majority for nothing…we are not blacks for nothing. The black race needs to start dominating and stop being dominated! 

Oh dear, we need no battalions to achieve this feat, all needed is for us to start thinking right.

WISDOM DOES IT!
