Today you woke up with a mental note of doing something. It
would involve travelling to a work station or working from within. If you took
leisure as an option or were put down by a cold don’t mind. You are as good as
those who did something. When you get well you will compensate, won’t you?
Like bees in a hive, there is a kiosk to buy milk from for
breakfast, there was a truck driver who transported the milk, there is a
factory that processed the milk, there are farmers who milked, there is a veterinary
personnel whom the farmers depend upon for better and new farming practices,
the veterinary officer is employed by the government and the VAT on the milk
accounts for his salary. It is a circle and its credit comes from urbanization.
Urbanization is daily localizing what you need. Services that
were once rare and far away are at your door step. Different people with
different expertise quickly converge hence increase in adding value to a
thought or a service. Unlike before when production was localized and what
could only be sourced was more of beauty items that people could do without,
the present society depends on multiple service providers that if there be a
failure in one it affects others too.
The gist of this article occurred when Mama Nitilie (those
women who cook cheaply/economically for workers) served a large turnout during
one of lunchtime meals. In her small capacity of a poor shade and a few helpers
whom I would not call employees, she was in an impassive way participating in
the errands of her time. Her gains would be to school her children or access a
better house. The guards whom I see at the gates, the drivers who take
populations to job places, the present Pharaohs and even me the modern scribe
is in a way making history. But do I know that?
Taking advantage of the providences of our time to better the
lives of people and conserve the environment would be our highest attainment. A
view of poverty, war, corruption, degradation and exploitation among others do
not positively add to the records of our time. The thirst for knowledge, healthy
lives, exploration, spirituality and better environments should make us gather
in forums, chant progressive words and meet in the night to do better.
In whatever you do, driven by the legacy and dignity of life
that would be of benefit to the future generations, look deeply into the
present. Be conscious by acquiring the highest understanding of a thing. Be a
seeker. Be a hard worker. Control your mind. That when you are siring the next
generation, you know what to hand over.
Being conscious of your time is more than what I have written
here. And you know that.
