Death; The Theory You Want To Read by Celestine Atufu

The whole concept of death is crazy. Its really hard knowing what its like since most of us haven’t ever been there after all I'm writing for the living not even like we want to find out because you know what that means right? Most times people who are suicidal are considered cowards infact that’s kind of a stereotype but I'm here thinking about if its possible that some of them were carried out as a result of curiosity you know, trying to know what its all about and what lies at the other end of the line? Just a pity they didn’t have a laid down plan of reaching out to us you know like a feedback. Even those who claim to have almost been there can't claim to have a full knowledge of it. There's a reason why you came back to life infact you didn’t die in the first place.

Almost is nothing, its just like the case of a blind man, do you know how difficult that is? Waking up every morning to the fact that he is blind? I bet at some point they get confused as to whether they're dead or not. Just Imagine a person losing his sight for the first time and after screaming I can't see and say there was no one there to talk back to him. Do you think he just harbours that thought for a split second as to inquiring if he's still alive? I for one don’t think we seize to exist once death happens, I'm beginning to think we come back, we get like recycled, we come back as babies or something. I know its funny but think about it. How can someone just seize to exist I mean every single one of us makes this life about ourselves, I for one think every other person here exists because of me somehow.

If I say lets see life as a movie I'm the lead actor, or sorry I'm the star of the movie. So maybe if someone's life ends in the movie they're gonna make another one right? And I believe he's gonna star in that one in some capacity, I'm with the school of thought that believes the one who dies lives forever. Perhaps they get to read this piece if my assumptions are correct. It’s a good thing I was able to continue this write up after taking a break, and reading through I noticed how I have been using he all through let me please say again I'm not sexist it was maybe done so I don’t forget all of the other ideas I was having when I started writing and since it has come to my notice I should put that in order, as you know I have to deal with corrections also while trying not to forget but I should probably ignore that as its gonna be edited before being posted.
You should notice I contradicted myself at some point and I won't even point it out because I leave it to you to notice and I'm not even going to change anything because it just goes to show the complexity of this whole subject matter. One of my good friend always says to me how he dreads the idea of death and he even takes out time to write about it, you know short poems and all, but then I didn’t think of it that way I never gave a thought to the concept of death and here I am writing about it, perhaps I'm also beginning to dread the idea? He would always say then how would someone just die and go just like that seize to exist? At this point of my life after giving a real thought to it and seeing how it also doesn’t add up I decided to write something about it, but let me repeat I'm not afraid of death as I'm a Christian and you know what the scripture says about it. Yeah right, like my friend isn’t a Christian too.  For the living know that they would die but the dead know nothing. Lazarus didn’t share anything after he was raised from the dead, it is said that the bible compares death to sleep more than fifty times, wow those who love sleep must be licking their lips, Lol.

So lets just relax and get ready when its time for some long crashing and to my muslim brothers I'm sure the Quran should be similar to this eh.The Lord is the resurrection and the life whoever believes in him though he dies shall live again.

So I guess I can say Merry Christmas now since we'd be meeting next monday and Christmas is just some hours away. I hope you have a splendid christmas celebration and please if you're turning up somewhere for christmas, let me tag along because I have no plan yet *tear*. *cleans tear*, Merry Christmas once again and remember, I love you for reading.

Who Says There Are No Pervs In Church?

Dear OTTH readers, how are we? I spent my weekend resting and going through dorisaniunoh.blogspot.com, you know as a writer, one shouldn't depend on themselves, so every now and then, I go through other blogs because not only do I learn a lot from them, they also inspire me to write something. I love reading from Doris' blog because like me, she writes real life stuff, something I could actually relate to not how Davido got robbed and the likes. I've been meaning to write about this in a while but procrastination won't let me but today I have bound the spirit hence here it is. I'm certain we all know who a perv is but just incase we don't, perv is the shortform for the word "pervert" and it refers to someone who's sexually obsessed according to Google and that's about what it means so I guess we all get the picture and we'd understand better as we proceed. I've always thought pastors would at least act like pastors no matter the tempt...

Love With Blood?

Dear OTTH readers, I hope we're good because I'm very fine. You know me and the things that bother me, lol. The other day, I was discussing with Anuli (CEO, Iluna photography)  about how I think it's abnormal to have sexual relations with any member of ones family and she made a point by saying that it's a norm in some places #onemansmeat...you know the drill but that it doesn't make it right. I understand that people crush on their cousins and all and I also understand that my culture might be a taboo someplace else but haba! Why would you have sexual relations with your family member? I used to think it was always sexual abuse when things like that happen but I've found out that people actually do it with pride and talk about it without shame. I remember someone telling me how he makes out with his cousin and he loves her so much and I'm like gfhdsshgk? Over the years, I've heard and I still hear of different cases of incest and it was beginning t...

Mirabel's Dairy

My name is Mirabel Blakewood, I'm 20 years old. My parents died when I was 6 in a car accident on the 25th of July, 2001 and I've been living with Maternal Grandmother until she also passed away when I was 15. I still stay at my Grandmother's till date. I'm quite tall, I have brown eyes just like my Dad's. I remember it when he used to read me bedtime stories, I would stare deep into his eyes till I fell asleep. I keep a small circle of friends - Jeff, Sarah, Lionel and Amy. We've been friends since we were kids. They've been my family too. My Grandmother was a very quiet woman, she was a woman of noble mien. She had no friends and she barely spoke to anyone. She would say hello to few people after the service on Sunday then be back to her normal withdrawn self. There was something my Grandma passed on to me, it's called the Peth spirit. It was passed on to her by her mother when she was dying but my Mum didn't live long enough for it to b...
