Suicide (Who Is Responsible)

Photo Credit: Bizarrepedia.com

The rate of suicide in Nigeria is at an alarming high rate now. Suicide is a strange word or thing, and now it is becoming a norm.

While pondering about this i come across a post on face book and I will love to share it.

Please stop blaming the president about the current state of suicide in the society. Blame yourselves, blame the society for always settings standards like marriage, school, vocation etc.

You all judge a guy who hasn’t gone to school or not being too rich to your liking.

You judge a girl who was raped and gets pregnant.

You judge a man striving to feed his family, you body shame people and gossip your very own friends

The church/mosque neglects you unless you have something to give them.

I can go on and on. Let us blame ourselves for being too shy of teaching our children sex education and when they grow up with a different mindset and experience something different their brain can’t comprehend it and some fall into depression.

Let’s blame ourselves when we compare our children with other people’s that leads a child into depression.
Coming from the north I see a lot of stupid, traditions that don’t mean crap yet we practice it for heck what. Forcing our children to pick up religion and traditions that they don’t understand. Let’s blame ourselves for the failure in Africa. One man can’t change the nation for good neither can one man change the nation for bad. We are where we are(pun intended) because we have collectively agreed to support wrong leadership, wrong doctrines and wrong traditions.

Until we change our backwards sentimental reasonings we WILL continue to experience what we are now experiencing.

The Attitude of Negotiation & Problem Solving

I read this awesome store about negotiation and i will love you to read it too.Mind blowing math.A father left 17 Camels as an Asset for his Three Sons.When the Father passed away, his sons opened up the will.The Will of the Father stated that the Eldest son should get Half of 17 Camels,The Middle Son should be given 1/3rd of 17 Camels,Youngest Son should be given 1/9th of the 17 Camels,As it is not possible to divide 17 into half or 17 by 3 or 17 by 9, the sons started to fight with each other.So, they decided to go to a wise man.The wise man listened patiently about the Will. The wise man, after giving this thought, brought one camel of his own & added the same to 17. That increased the total to 18 camels.Now, he started reading the deceased father’s will.Half of 18 = 9.
So he gave 9 camels
to the eldest son.1/3rd of 18 = 6.
So he gave 6 camels
to the middle son.1/9th of 18 = 2.
So he gave 2 camels
to the youngest son.Now add this up:
9 + 6 + 2 = 17 &
This leaves 1 camel,
which the wise man took back.MORAL: The attitude of negotiation & problem solving is to find the 18th camel i.e. the common ground. Once a person is able to find the common ground, the issue is resolved. It is difficult at times.However, to reach a solution, the first step is to believe that there is a solution. If we think that there is no solution, we won’t be able to reach any!If you liked this story, please share with all. You might spark a thought, inspire & possibly change a life forever!
