Amazing - Lunatics on the loose...

I cannot but wonder on how it happened?
Was it simply one of those little issues of a disease progressively getting worse - in that case are we allowing the situation to deteriorate to the point where everyone is just that extra bit crazy daily?

Can we truly be living in the jungle in spite of the of our pretensions to aspire towards western influences? What influences - apparently we find it so hard to read between the lines; the fine print - which is often where the core message lies.

We are not our environment except the reference to environment means - people.
People - which includes you and myself, are what determine and define the direction of society, morals, ethics, norms and mores and a host of other social issues.

You can take a horse to the stream but you can't force it to drink from the stream - in fact you can't force it to drink - Period!

Which brings me to the main topic for discussion:
Why are Lagosians (Nigerians living in the state of Lagos) so much in a hurry?

I can't for the life of me understand the reason or thought behind all the daily rush.
You rush to work and then you rush back, you rush to the car, rush to get through traffic, rush to join a fuel queue forming in the nearby petrol station, rush to market, rush to the club, rush to get married, rush to get to church...

Why and where does one spend all that "saved" time spent rushing... Answer: Nowhere!
You are just raising your blood pressure and sending your nerves down the path way of destruction.

You need to see the demonic look of the fellow in a rush - have we all taken leave of our senses or is there more to this problem than meets the eye?

I am beginning to think that HELL may have a new branch in this state.
The chaos is just mind numbing and all to what end.
Sometimes I get the feeling that the state is in a "state" of waiting for something to happen or occur - maybe an outbreak of mindless violence or something else...

We're so full of it - it makes me wonder - then when the day is over you see the poor sods trying to justify the day as if doing that makes up for all the frustrations, anger, envy etc.
we act lower than the animals and it makes me kinda wonder where our lot is going to - zoo perhaps?

I think we ought to slow down a great deal, live a life at a pace that makes sense and save the rush for when you die. There's no need to barrel through life like you've got more at stake than everybody else. It is the same game with different outcomes and the winner or loser is a personal choice for each individual - rushing through the race doesn't enhance the outcome in any way, you may even miss out the markers...

My advice - take time to smell the roses and please try to cut out the need to barrel through life like a Ferrari - notice the numerous crashes they're often involved with...

Ciao...
