Who is the judge?

Who is the judge?
The judge is GOD.

Why is HE the judge?
Because HE decides who wins or loses, and not my opponent.

Who is your opponent?
He doesn’t exist.

Why doesn’t he exist?
Because he’s the mere deceptive voice of truth that speaks.

I was once a school debater. My involvement in the debating team was an accidental one. I remember I was very actively involved during the English lessons in school. I wasn’t as provocative as now. But I found confidence in writing and expressing myself.

This new teacher came into the class one day and selected a few students from my classroom for the audition, and obviously, I was not his favourite. My best buddie then, pulled me in for the audition with him and he insisted that I should go even though I was not chosen for the audition. My half shyness pulled me back but my interest in languages forced me to step forward.

There were 30 students went for the audition and I was the 31st, and I came out as the 1st speaker of all. Later, he decided to be the chief librarian and I became the editor-in-chief of the school book. The rest is history.

Just 5 mins ago, I watched this movie called: The Great Debater. I felt so much that my knees went soft and I could feel tears going down my throat. It’s a brilliant movie. A movie that touches the life of everyone of us.

Morality. How do you define morality? Can it be defined from the mere human-written-dictionary? Or shall it be defined based on ones conscience?

Equality. How many of us nowadays do receive the equal treatment or the rights that a human should not be denied?

These 2 BIG words have been haunting me since I was a child. And to find an answer to this is far away from reachable. But I’ve never failed to pray, that these 2 WORDS will prevail and bring much comfort not only to me but to the rest of the world.

Recently I had problems at my working place. I was told that I was made a scapegoat. It was much of a disappointing act. I worked my ass, and gave my fullest service but when another human doesn’t appreciate this, it’s really disappointing. Because even a dog won’t betray his master. What can I say of a heartless creature, called human. It’s like a dog eat dog kinda situation. People claim they are nice to animals, but why can’t they start liking their own human race? Of course I retaliated. I shall at no circumstances surrender my conscience because my conscience is my moral, and my moral dictates equality. The rest, I leave to the JUDGE.

There is just so much I wanted to write here but I have to keep my blog from being boring. I shall resume writing more when the connections being well established. Let me end this entry by saying, love yourself, and treat everyone as if they are human and not merely a piece of coloured fabric. The struggle is on-going.

I rest my case.
