Socrates was a Greek philosopher who is credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy. He is known for his Socratic Method, which involves asking probing questions to help people examine their own beliefs. Socrates strongly believed in the power of reason and critical thinking, and he used his platform to question traditional ideas about morality and justice. Although Socrates never wrote any philosophical works himself, his student Plato recorded many of his teachings in dialogues. Socrates was ultimately sentenced to death for his controversial views, and he died by drinking hemlock. Continue reading “Which lesson from Socrates never ceases to impress you?”

THE MEDICINAL BENEFITS OF ONION: Onion is one of the potent natural anti-biotics. It strengthens the immune system, thus helping to ward off common infections. For over 15 years, I have been recommending Onion for many sick people, and the results have been positive. Chew a small bulb of a raw onion every night. It’s as simple as that. As a starter, you may take half a bulb instead of one bulb and gradually increase it to one bulb.
People called him mad man
but I was surprised when he moved close to me,
He said, “can I ask you a very important question?”
I nodded, in acceptance,
and then,
he asked, *“am I a mad man?”
The obvious answer, from a sane person, will be, “no”,
and that was what I said.
“Thank you!”, he replied.
then he said,
“Just because I don’t see things the way other people do, does that make me a mad man?”
“No”, I answered again.
He bent down, wrote “W”,
and asked me what he wrote.
At this point, I was already feeling ashamed,
getting involved in a lengthy conversation with him.
In a hurry to leave, I said “w”,
but I was amazed when he replied to my answer,
“You only see ‘W’,
because of the angle at which you are looking at it.
If you turn upside down, you’ll see “M”.
If u look from the right side, it is “3”,
and looking at it from the left side, it is “E”.
*The fact that I don’t see things at the perspective that everyone is seeing it doesn’t make me a mad man, he said. Then he left.
I pondered for so long about this and its application to life.
Because We act, and relate to people, based on the perspective at which we are looking at their situation.
Have you taken your time to look at other possible perspectives?
I then decided that,
before I get angry with, or act against, or judge anyone that has done something unfavourable to me,
I will view it in at least four possible perspectives.
1. My own perspective,
2. 2. His own perspective and
3. 3. Others perspective’
4. 4. Almighty God’s possible perspective.
So, before you judge people, before you rage your anger on them, take a little time to view their angle or perspective, and, if you still cannot see a reasonable reason, then you may act REASONABLY.
Live and let others live
INSIGHTS: MAD- MAN. Food for thought in Perspective
