The measure of a man is what he does with power.
-Plato
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
-Seneca
Politics is a game of wits, ideas, ideologies and philosophies. And while we play the game, It should not divide us.
This is an election year, where we shall all be in contestation while we push for our various choice of candidates from our different political parties.
However, despite the uncertain political cloud hovering over us as a result of the upcoming elections, I am optimistic that this year will still be better if we can all work with wisdom while advancing the qualities and merits of our individual candidates.
Remember, the universe is characterized by transcience and impermanence, which means that everything in this world, every phenomenon, comes into being and passes away as well.
Nothing truly last forever.
And this is in conformity with the cosmic law of being going-into-non-being.
The year 2018, like every other year in human history, has come and gone.
2019 is already 22 days old, and like previous years, it is pregnant with possibilities and opportunities.
Therefore, let us tread carefully and cautiously while we go about our daily pursuit.
Let us eschew negative tendencies that characterized PHD – Pull Him Down. Let us help one another if we can.
Today, you might be up, tomorrow, the next man can still be up too, even higher than you. Meanwhile, we are all not going to live forever.
Always ask yourself, “What will I be remembered for?”
“What legacies will I leave behind when I’m gone?”
It is important if we don’t destroy relationship of many years that we have painstakingly built on the alter of partisan politics.
I have seen former hailers become wailers and vice versa.
It doesn’t actually make sense to throw brick bats over politicians who will reconcile tomorrow, and then wine and dine when we’re not there.
Let us support our candidate but not to make others our enemies because they don’t believe in our choice.
I may be lethal with my pen when I had to but I only do this whenever it is very necessary to do so and I owe no one apologies at such times.
However, if we can constantly situate our arguments within the confines of issues rather than personalities, we would enjoy playing the game regardless of its outcome.
No man is the sole determinant of who gets power and who doesn’t get it.
Power comes from God.
