Beggars!


Let's begin with a picture.
 He must not have been more than thirty years old. The oval face of those wrinkles of age, the well - turfed and black hair, and his still complete though brown set of teeth supported this assessment.



All he had for clothing was a piece of cloth with some words written on it. It must have been one of those posters used but now abandoned by 'show- biz' promoters.
Across his neck was yet another cloth which bore our national colours.

His feet were naked -------- just as they came from their creator. In one hand he had an empty tin. He talked ceaselessly and in a disordered fashion.

The other free hand emphasized his spoken words and gestures. As he talked, he gazed at you as if you were responsible for his pathetic condition. He looked redeemable, though.

 There are many of his type in various urban areas.
Beggars! They ate in every conceivable place. At the bank, the supermarket, the church, the mosque, market places, street ------- there you will meet them.

Before you know it, the more healthy ones besiege you for alms almost to the point of assault and embarrassment.

Surely, there is no rationality in giving alms to someone who is physically stronger than you and who, from all indications, can and should work and fed for himself.

 Some others are feeble and unfortunately handicap. Women and young girls constitute a sizeable number of these healthy beggars.

Some are nursing mothers, and honestly i wonders who their husbands are ; Conception by Mr Nobody, perhaps.

The young girls in this category are the mother - beggars of tomorrow. But tell me, can't the society be spared of this human waste?.
They are left abandoned even on the street.
How can we stop the increase of these people and have our roads, and other public places free of them.

They are humans just like you and I, and I belive you wouldn't leave them there, if they are directly related to you.

Its optional to give and not to, but if you ever have an urge never turn it down.

The society has to intervain to help these problem and the society is You and I.
~Emmanuel Ina.

Arguments.

Most people say they don't like arguing but the fact remains that in order to properly buttress your point , sometimes you need to stress on what your view is, But this becomes difficult when there is an opposition or a third party that wants you to listen to their own point of view contrary to yours. Everybody argues for a particular reason, and everybody have their reasons based on their thinking and conclusion. Voices are raised up when people find it difficult to conclude on an issue after some moments of argument. As voices are raised up, feelings and emotions begins to set in, anger begins to sprau up gradually. In no short time insults begins to be amidst the arguments and of course it is always a reciprocal scenario. As the pressure increases, if self control is lacking, everyone goes home with a squeezed face and sometimes a hurt body or with animosity. Argument is not  mandatory but in a case where it is necessary, letting our your view is the best option. You don...

How to read.

There is a very important fact about eye movement that you need to know. If you record the eye movements of someone who is reading, you will notice that, from time to time, the reader goes back and looks again at something he has read before; in other words, he regresses to an earlier part of the text, probably because he realises he does not understand the passage properly. Then he comes back to where he left off and continues reading. At one time, it was thought that regression was a fault, but it is in fact a very necessary activity in efficient reading. There are several different kinds of faults in reading, which are usually exaggerated with foreign learners.  The most common one is that most people read slowly than they should. There is no rate at which people ought to read, of course: it depends on your purpose in reading; how difficult the language is, how unfamiliar the material is and so on.  But most people read everything at the same slow speed, and do not s...
