I think the most important lessons in life are learnt either in pain or in total lost for want of what to do.
Smart ideas are not brewed in the most fancy Factories, Mansions, Ivy League Universities or Palaces, they are brewed in the painful mind of a man truly in pain.
Pain has been know to be the antidote for finding love because when it hurts that bad, we all seek something that will make it all better.
I once read a story of how Steve Jobs after being fired from his own company decided to apply himself and came up with the NeXT, a startup which went on to be his bargaining power to reclaim his "property" and which is still the bloodline of Apple Inc.
You see, like that pawpaw tree in the picture above, we as humans are supposed to keep doing stuff not minding the difficulties that always have a way of taking over our lives.
I sometimes wish I was a bird, an iroko tree or even an eagle so I live my life being just that.., a bird, an iroko tree or an eagle. Something must happen irrespective of who we are, human or otherwise.
Everything in life has got it's time and season, so don't expect someone to come explain to you WHY it is so.
You will reap cassava when you sow cassava and nothing else.
You make the "why" what it should be based on how you want it to be seen. Humanity must learn to spread out despite the boundaries that have placed on it.
Difficulties always will be there, but the mind that seeks to win will always find a way out.
I tell you one thing, that tree didn't have it easy growing to be that beautiful but it thrived and survived the hard times, difficult terrain (it is growing beside a fence) and uncertainty of the human factor.
