The Red Machetes in our Vineyard

THE RED MACHETES IN OUR VINEYARD


Brethren, it’s no longer news, even to a day old child, that, the vineyard belongs to we all; but, it’s absurd to hear that it has been profoundly personalized by our fellow shareholders. You may ignore me or overlook my critique because I’m just meditating aloud, but very soon, I would be commenting loudly.

Please, let’s discuss a very critical issue. Has it ever occurred to your senses that, the manner in which your name, or better still your full name, sounds to the people around you matters a lot? From my perspective, one’s name remains his/her first identity because with the name, he/she can present him/herself in absentia. Having noted that fact, how people perceive your name ought to be of paramount importance to your person, rather than paying more attention to trivial issues that deceptively seem worthwhile to you. Pardon the digression, please.

We all know that machetes are very vital and potent tools required in any vineyard irrespective of the season. But recently, I’ve come to realize that, most of the machetes being used in the vineyard that belongs to me and you are not just red, but excessively red. Mind you, red as a colour can represent either a positive or negative interpretation; but in this context, we’re sighting at the negative notation of red which signifies danger. Let’s ride on!

The redness of their skins (bodies) is partly attributable to the transience of their sincerity, and wholly not unconnected to their respective deceptive instincts. In spite of the pronounced reddish nature of the stated skins, yet, most of us can’t comprehend the scene. As for me, they’ve become insufferable pests to our vineyard, with their individual uncontrollable and intolerable thefts and deceits. After all, millions of them had been caught red-handedly in the past whilst many are presently undergoing ‘unreliable’ trials.

Of course, they have been heckled by their subjects in several public gatherings I was privileged to be present. And, is obvious that such uncultured attitudes exhibited by their audiences were due to their deceitful and uncertain countenance. Frankly, my humble visage has abruptly turned sour as a result of the debris I observe daily in this gifted vineyard.

Initially, my physiognomy was tolerant over the poignant scenario. Subsequently, I came to understand that being a mere onlooker in a vineyard which everyone of us has a share would deter the vines from growing healthily. And such phenomenon would warrant unquantifiable death rate in near future.

Mind you, I’m not pointing any accusing finger at any of the machetes, rather, I’m trying to embrace realism here. For crying out loud, most of the machetes are red, thus, it’s high time we overhauled them before they turn the entire vineyard red. If the vineyard eventually turns red, I’m afraid, none of the vines would produce an edible grape; apparently, it would be tantamount to embracing the bloodiest platform.

Lately, the larceny and deceit found in these red machetes are generating ignominious scenes in the global circle, thereby constituting a ‘global warming’. Without mincing words, with regard to this ongoing global warming, I’m intensely afraid of the fact that, we stand to witness a complete futile vineyard in no distant time. Though, I’m personally of the view that we stand to restore normalcy if we desist from reckoning on those bad machetes. Believe me, embracing realism and truism is one of the recipes for the foreseen moment of fathomless productivity and endless jubilation.

Let’s not allow our vineyard become a byword for obstinacy and brutality. We ought to collectively endeavour to call a spade a spade. Any red machete is no longer useful; it should be considered as a rebellious priest, therefore should be excommunicated and taken away for thorough penance and deliverance.

My remarks so far might have discharged asperity to the fullness, but I want to sincerely let you know that it wasn’t a planned gesture. Kindly forgive my spasm of anger. Just that, we can’t continue to be tenants in our tenement. The time is ripe for us to ensure that all the ripe grapes produced by our vines would no longer be harvested with the bad machetes to avoid likely contamination.

At this juncture, I unequivocally disabuse you of the notion that, our vineyard can be well and serene again without fiercely taking those unwanted machetes to where they rightly belong. Yes, we need machetes for the ongoing cultivation, but not red ones.

Enough of this apprehension. I’m damn sick and tired of receiving the usual roguish expression or smile from their faces. How could the machetes we entrusted with our vineyard rob the vineyard in question? Think about it!

Sycophancy on the World's Political Platform

DETESTING THE ERA OF SYCOPHANCY ON THE WORLD’S POLITICAL PLATFORM

Brethren, truth is like oil; no matter how much water you pour on it, it’ll always float. Whilst, anger is like throwing a stone into the river; it creates bigger ripples. Don’t forget, ‘truth and anger’ remain the two most potent tools in the above quotes. We shall be utilizing them as long as this edition lasts.

I’ve always known that, the search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness. Whatever the situation might look like, I sincerely pray that we would never encounter the pain of death. It’s too painful to feel the pain of death and yet be alive; there’s no agony worse than the pain of death. Frankly, there was a fateful day I experienced such agony. And on that very day, I grew up, I grew old and I died. Though, I later resurrected. Thanks to the Paraclete for the miraculous intervention.

At this juncture, I wish to put up a tangible question. If a dude discovers a girl, a virgin to be precise, and subsequently uncovers her, do you think the chap is covered? Try to unravel the puzzle and answer the question as well.

In fact, let me hit the nail on the head; enough of this beating about the bush. After all, my immunity is assured, therefore I mustn’t be timid. So, it’s high time I condemned impunity. Then, if I’m to write busily, I must face today’s topic squarely.

Sycophancy is an act in which one flatters someone who’s more important than he is, in order to attract favour to himself. In other words, a sycophant is a person who tries to win favour by flattery.

If I must be specific and sincere, then I would boldly and loudly say that, sycophancy is as old as the world. If you’re a historian, or if you’ve been following histories aptly, you would comprehend where I’m actually coming from having stated that sycophancy is as old as the world, if not older.

Believe me, I took my precious and gifted time to undergo a thorough and severe research regarding the genesis/origin of sycophancy, and lately, I succeeded in coming up with the view that the cankerworm is not unconnected to the world’s creation. Maybe, you should initiate yours; I mean, your personal research as regards the genesis of sycophancy, and see where it would lead you to. Nevertheless, that’s not where my paramount concern for today lies. Let’s ride on!

From my singular perspective, sycophancy could be found virtually in all aspects of our endeavours, as it had been existing since the world began or was created. It’s no longer news, according to the Christian religion, that God almost lost His seat as a Supreme being to Lucifer due to sycophancy, which is not unlike that of Jesus whose crucifixion was not unconnected to Judas Iscariot’s destructive ingenuity known as betrayal; just to mention but a few. Presently, the aspect that tremendously beats my psyche is the alarming occurrence of the ill in the world’s political arena, which has recently consumed/sucked unquantifiable innocent blood.

How can one suck up to someone in authority just to achieve his/her selfish desire without minding the number of innocent souls that stand to kiss the ground as a result of such ruthless and barbaric act; for crying out loud, where have our consciences traveled to? Honestly, I’m becoming rancorous with regard to this ugly anomaly because it’s affecting everyone, and it’s widely ubiquitous.

I’m appealing to anyone who indulges in or drives pleasure witnessing such dubious and dastardly act to please turn a new leaf because it would definitely take him/her nowhere. Sycophancy is insincerity and blasphemy; thus, it’s simply evil irrespective of its mode or nature. We can’t continue to fetch up at a deadly scene in every moment of our lives.

The funniest part is that, the idea of betrayal lying in your mind, if being disclosed, would seem far-fetch to the person you intend to hurt/destroy because he/she believes that he has given you the best so far. So, why would you have the intention of plotting the downfall of someone or a fellow who truly wants the best for you?

I wish to use this avenue to urge the respective non-governmental societies to join the activists in this cause. They ought to from time-to-time organize or sponsor seminars to educate and sensitize the minds of their members and the public in general, on the dangers that await such blasphemous and bloody act/habit. The religious institutions are also expected to follow suit. Sensitization is the best nail in the coffin of sycophancy. And, the crusade (sensitization) must not be a one-man show.

I also want to use this avenue to tender my appeal to the parliaments in all the countries in the world. They should individually enact a law forbidding such ungodly and repugnant idiosyncrasy in their respective states. On this note, I suggest that any alleged offender should be meant to face a thorough prosecution in a formidable and reputable criminal court; and a capital penalty ought to be issued to the person in question, if found guilty. Most importantly, such routine must be adhered to or practiced with absolute strictness and sincerity, and must be followed with a dogged approach; in this regard, an impeccable panel comprising people of unquestionable characters is expected to be set up by the concerned government to function as a watchdog.

Please brethren, always endeavour to stick to the truth, even if you’re in high dudgeon with someone over a certain provocation you incurred from him/her. Do not let anger becloud your sense of reasoning. Apply logic in everything you do or intend to do. There’s always room for forgiveness regardless of the gravity of the offence/blunder. Remember, to err is human, whilst to forgive is divine. Embrace divinity at all times because these protracted scenarios are constituting intense pain of death in all nooks and crannies. Why the treachery, if I may ask? Mind you, no matter how long you put up such hidden and sinister crusade, it’s obvious that the truth will surely float someday.

Let’s be reasonable and sagacious for once. We need not grudge our fellow ones their mindless pleasures. I’m afraid, if we continue like this, the future of our entire generation would be colossally at stake. Think about it!

Interdependence of Science-Oriented Disciplines

INTERDEPENDENCE OF VARIOUS DISCIPLINES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
The relation between different disciplines in Science and Technology has been a thing of enormous interest in the world at large. The aforementioned coexistence of these disciplines ought to be regarded as a worthwhile phenomenon.

On the above note, we’re going to look into some of them such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Electronics Engineering, Materials Tech, Polymer Science, Communication Technology, Surveying, Civil Engineering, Regional Planning, inter alia.

Going through the above concise list, one can boldly say that, Mathematics is the basis of Sciences because other disciplines are dependent on it. Suffice to say, Physics known as the most crucial and potent aspect of Science and Technology or otherwise the bedrock of engineering, cannot be comprehended without the knowledge of mathematics. In the same vein, Chemistry as a discipline can’t be dealt with completely, without referring to mathematics.

Generally, engineering as a science oriented field cannot be understood or appreciated without the knowledge of physics or chemistry, or both. That is, virtually all the disciplines in engineering requires a knowledge in physics, some requires a knowledge in chemistry, whilst some requires a knowledge in both physics and chemistry.

While exhibiting the skills/talents acquired in any area of science and technology, we would still experience/witness the interwoven nature of the disciplines in question. For instance, electronic engineers or technologists make use of the items manufactured by materials engineers in their various construction works. After the constructions, the plastic items produced by the polymer engineers/scientists are used for the casing of the already constructed devices or machines. More so, communication and sound engineers make use of the gadgets made by electronic engineers in their respective endeavours; and if any of the devices eventually brakes down while in use, it would be repaired by an electronic engineer/technician.

Furthermore, a mechanical engineer that constructs cars (vehicles) and other engine made devices needs an electrical engineer or knowledge of electrical engineering to construct the electrical phase of the vehicle, for the construction to be completed or for the job to be well done. On other hand, in any structural work, a land surveyor presents (analyzes) the picture of the land or area to be used, while a regional planner elaborates on how the structure would be located on the site. The architectural work would be done by an architect, whilst the design of the proposed building would be carried out by a civil engineer. Lastly, a quantity surveyor quantifies the monetary involvement, after which the job would be executed by a building technologist.

In the medical field, a medical doctor cannot carry out his/her duty accurately without referring the patient to a medical laboratory scientist. In other words, prior to any treatment to be performed by a doctor, a ‘lab’ scientist must carry out the necessary test(s) on the patient to determine the exact nature of the illness.

Thus, for an effective and efficient execution of duty in any given field in existence, one must not take the issue of interdependence of the various disciplines that make up the field for granted. Summarily, the importance of the coexistence of disciplines that constitute a certain field/area of study or life can never be overemphasized. It's interesting; isn't it? Think about it!
