A mother's love is conditional

The notion of people has not changed at all from time, in the ancient times we have read from the Bible and articles of great people how the world has been operating, nothing about people has changed but the manner in which we lead our lives now is what is changed. Technology has made the world global, we see things clearer and nearer than before, in ancient times people fought war, massacre, destruction and immorality had always been the order of the day. That's why Thomas Hobbes in his book, The Leviathan, opted for a social contract and rule by an absolute sovereign. He wrote that the brute situation of a state of nature(the war of all against all) could be avoided by a strong undivided government.
Here you can see that from time emeritus that the concept of war is inevitable to man, because man in his state of nature is greedy,selfish and power seeking. But then Jean-Jacques in the 18th century also affirmed that people were neither good nor bad but were born as a blank slate and later the society and the environment influence which way to lean. 

I agree totally to the two ideologies because the world we live in now has shaped us into different things, if you don't gather surplus value you cannot survive because the next person takes everything, this points to the things people do in order to keep pace with what Darwin called 'survival of the fittest.' Thus in the quest to gather surplus value, we experience interest conflicts resulting to the war of all against all for survival.
I thought I use to think differently, I would scold myself and tell myself that the world isn't as I think it is,but I was right all along
I would wonder and ponder on the things I thought were real, like true love,true forgiveness, true co-existence,
True love doesn't exist 
But conditional love does exist.
A mother's love is conditional 
She loves her child because the child is hers
It is devastating for a father to find out after so many years,that a child he raised as his own is not his child
After this discovery, he finds it very hard to continue loving this child as his own
From here you can perceive the condition bordering the love he has for the child 
We love people because of who they are to us not because of what(human) they are.

    I am a child from a well cultured home taught to abide by some precepts which summarizes what they (my parents) call "love". Each time my parents take me out, and I have the opportunity, I try to show love to everyone. I've helped people in a way I never wish I could even to the extent of hurting myself in the process but I kept believing my home teachings. In loving others, I now love animals (e.g, pets). It saddens me to see when people/animals are being hurt so I provide help showing some kind of love.

    I keep pondering on your post especially this line "true love doesn't exist" but it doesn't add up to my precepts. Was forced to introduce your write-up to my dad of which he has told me you are right in some ways but not totally right. I told him to explain, he said that if your analogy is based on your experiences, he can't blame you but you need to be a fighter and fight to prove true love does exist like Jesus Christ did when he was human.

    I like your blog but I beg to defer, "true love does exist"

    Absolutely right! Eno, you've said it all. The world has indeed "shaped us into different things" & that's part of the reason why it's hard to find true love or why "true love doesn't exist but conditional love does exist". Some people don't wanna make sacrifices no more. Why? "Because man in his state of nature is indeed greedy & selfish". That's why today the world is in chaos. No fear of God In the minds of people, that's also another reason why people find it difficult to love each other unconditionally. So if there's going to be true love between individuals, the only way it can occur is if man drops his human-like nature and embrace that of Jesus Christ. So also in a relationship a true lover of Christ is expected to shower his/her partner with true love & endure their shortcomings not for any reason but because one understands that he/she is also experiencing the Father's Mercy, Grace and Love everyday.

Widening Horizons

We widen our horizons most times in the wrong things We want to grow in the wrong way Our country Nigeria is backwards today because every one is thinking of the national cake For instance, according to Leslie White, "the primary function of culture is to harness and control energy." He went on to differentiate the stages of energy in human development as follows, first, human use their own muscles, second, we use the  energy of domesticated animals, third, we use the energy of plants, fourth, we learn to use the energy of natural resources like coal, oil and gas etc and in the fifth place, the use of nuclear energy.  Thus, culture evolves as the amount of energy harnessed per capita per year is increased. If we don't harness these energies around us, how are we going to grow Look at our schools now What are they teaching our children? Is there more of science? Is there more of human evolution? The world now is on the fifth stage of human developmen...

THE RIGHT KINDA OF SIN

The right kinda sin Everyone debates on this topic like everyday every time  The right kind of sin  My first observation is, as a Christian  I mean from the biblical standard of being called a Christian, sex is only for married people. Secondly, marriage is between a man and a woman Thirdly, sin is sin  Now all these, is meant to be upheld by my fellow Christian brothers and sisters.  Every Christian is damaged in this society right now.  And we are not ready to repent because we will lose that which is most valuable to us, "Our worldly possessions." We all have that one sin we cannot let go  The sin has become a part of us, that we coin a new way to address it. Make it look none less sinful. Take for instance, let me use the most common things around us, ADULTERY.  Luckily some of us are fortunate to not fall under this category of sin.  And here is another one, LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF.  Un...

A Talk About Freedom

  I remember sitting on that hillside field, My eyes filled with tears.  I could see the vehicles passing on high speed.  The thoughts of being free and being grown engulfed me. I hated it there, I was a prisoner. Oh the young shall grow, I groaned but for how long? How long shall l sit here and watch free people? How long shall I sit here and get fed bad beans? How long shall I have the courage to say no more? I just needed to wait. And I did. And look at me now. I’m grown and free. But freedom isn’t still free.
