By Hassan Omolowo:\"Encourage\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thoughts are so powerful that they influence the conduct of other human beings in varying degrees. Couples very often influence the conduct of their partners and turn around to blame them mercilessly. A woman who continuously visualises her husband engaging in adultery is planting poisonous seeds in the mind of her partner. Parents who regularly accuse their children for being no-gooders are planting the seeds of inferiority complex in the fertile and receptive minds of their children. These parents turn round to accuse their children of being failures. Our thoughts of lust and unhealthy desires affect other human beings in other parts of the world because we all draw strength from the thought forms floating above us. Thoughts especially affect human beings who, due to one reason or the other, cannot exercise full self control and do not take note of the influences that assail them in their daily activities. We accuse these human beings of being hardened and unrepentant criminals.
\n*
\nWe accuse our leaders for being incompetent and corrupt whereas, if properly analysed, we bear a blame for their failures because of our refusal or inability to contribute our quota to the processes of collective governance and participatory democracy. In this part of the world, we expect our leaders to be rich to the extent of opening the doors to wealth for us as well. A visit to the offices and homes of public officers will reveal hordes of hangers on, relatives and total strangers clamoring for forms of financial help beyond the confines of the salaries and allowances of the leaders. We accuse them of corruption if we do not have a slice of public largesse.
\n*
\nLeaders watch over the failure of their economies and falling standards of living and turn round to decry rising crime rates. They insist on death penalties and heavy penal sentences being imposed on their hapless citizens.
\n*
\nWe blame our neighbors, friends and colleaques for faults and shortcomings that are more prevalent in us in accordance with the Law of Attraction. The faults that agitate us do so because the faults are also in us. Guilty conscience compell us to condemn others instead of looking inwards. We enjoy pointing out the specks of dust in the eyes of other human beings instead of removing the beams of wood from our eyes!
\n*
\nLet us be tolerant with, and forgive other human beings of their faults and shortcomings because, most times, we harbor similar faults and we contribute, one way or the other, to the misdeeds of our fellow imperfect human beings!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
