Our Ability To Think Is A Powerfull Tool For Building A Better Nation by B118: 9:52am On Dec 25, 2008
I would like to share a bit of my thught.

We were all born with this incredible ability, as primitive as it might sound, its the ability to think. The world we are trapped in today is developing sophisticated measures to deny us access to our mind, we are loosing it every day. We are always trying to get somewhere, making a phonecall, msn, facebooking, listening to music, watching tv, e.t.c.
When last did you take at least an hour a day to sit down and do nothing but THINK. no music, not sleeping not eating, just sit, shut ur mind from ur surrounding and just THINK. (and No, i'm not talking about procrastination lol)

From my point of view our thoughts and concience are linked. We were all born with a concience, for instance you know its just not right to wake up one morning and decide to kill your entire family because you were borne with a concience. I believe that concience is each person's link to thier creator.

Thinking is in other words listening to your concience, talking to your concience hence, praying to your maker. In the world we live today where we dont know what preacher is right or which is wrong, our only genuine link to our creator is our concience. Also we are being dictated to on how to live and how to exist, what our dreams should be and what we should achieve so much so that we all seem nothing but zombies. We need to look less to the skies (which by the way is now poisoned with CO2 emmision lol) and look more within ourself and our creator.

And when I say think I mean thinking about life itself, our purpose as human being, (I mean if you created something you would have a true purpose for it other than hide and seek) not the material things about Life 4get about career, jobs, bills, traffic, Think about life from the begining and work your way up to the now.

I refer to a lot of things in writting this but since this is a Nairaland website I will use this one example. Look at Nigeria as a country, How did this nation come to exist? what existed bfore civilization? what had to go to make way for civilisation? what was good about the old ways and what was bad about the old ways and how owuld it hae been best to develop from the old ays? How can the nation develop from where it is now? What is Nigeria worth to you? what would it mean to you if it were to all of a sudden not exist anymore? What can you give as a Nigerian? How do you develop yourself as a Nigerian?, as a human bieng?.

Then think Africa, Then think the woorld as a whole

My main point is, there is no point letting other people lead us without having a clue where we're comming from, where we're going or what we're doing. We all sit back and complain about situations in Nigeria and in the world, but if we REALLY want a serious change it takes the whole nation (at least a large majority) having the right mind. It wont be easy and it wont be overnight but the sooner we get to work the sooner we get the job done. It satarts from each person developing themselves in the right way, its not about the politicians, Its the people that make Nigeria not a big man in agbada sitting in asorock.

Like I wrote aerlier, this is just my thought, in my opinion.

I know many will read this and think "wetting concern me?" true. Well if thats you "i no follow u yan I dey follow better person yan".
