PHILOSOPHY OF THE PENCIL AND HUMAN EXISTENCE
Sunday, June 17, 2012 5:19:35 PM
Permit me to say that human beings were in the time past objects before they became subjects...
Or better still they make better subjects when they're able to overcome the challenges faced when they were objects.
Sorry I'm not necessarily trying to stop you from wondering or better still make you to philosophise because that's precisely what I was doing when I saw myself typing this piece of work.
Just like a blink of bright fluctuating light from a glow-worm, my body became so warm that it could roast a tuber of yam. Thereafter the light beamed brighter like a floodlight's that the scene which once looked blurred became clear. Could it be a dream? Or could it be the master's revelation? I was in a trance - I think. I could hear the master talking to his subordinate. As he speaks, it listens with keen attention- ensuring that the instructions are well noted before he sends it into the world to fulfil its destiny.
That must be God speaking. I think he was addressing a. a.. a... Yes a pencil. He calls him by its name and says..
Hey pencil I'm about sending you into the world.
Inorder to fulfil your destiny in life you must note these 5(five) cardinal rules:
1. You'll be great if you allow yourself to be held by someone
2. Once in a while you 'll be subjected to sharp pain by life sharpner but don't you worry its part of what makes you a better pencil
3. You must develop the capacity to correct your own mistake lest you become worthless
4. The most wonderful part of you is inside of you.
5.On every surface you're used on you must leave your mark. ie. No matter the condition you must continue to write.
Having carefully spelt out those rules, the pencil nodded in affirment and prepares for its journey to the world.
Then for the first time I made the master realise I've been listening to their conversation without knowing he had felt my presence all along.
Be it as it may, I quickly demanded for my own rules so I could fulfil my destiny just like the pencil.
"The very same to you" came his reply. What? I almost barked angrily. How can the master give me the same line of rules given to a common pencil?
"But...
I began
"you're human" the master helped me to conclude.
I didn't speak further. He walked quietly and parted me on the shoulder and said:
There are more to it than your eyes can see. The truth which i revealed to you today is the PHILOSOPHY OF THE PENCIL AND HUMAN EXISTENCE...
"GO SON..THE SAME RULES APPLY....
BUT HELP ME TELL YOUR COLLEAGUES OVER THERE WHEN YOU GET HOME. He stressed.
Thud! That was the sound of a wall-gecko on my trance head. I woke up yet still couldn't believe that was a mere dream. It was too true to be untrue.
(Don't ask me if this really happened because the master doesn't like to be doubted. You must believe his message even without seeing)
Well i remember vividly I promised the master to relay the message of the trance to you.
So I must tell you this:
You're a pencil. Ain't you?
You can be handled by others who are either your superiors or inferiors can't you?.
Difficulties of life mustn't weigh you down. Must it?
You can correct your mistakes to better your chances of progress can't you?
You have the potentials of becoming a star. Don't you?
And you can leave your name on the sand of time by living a purposeful and fulfilled lifestyle. Can't you?
Your answers to the above listed questions are positive- i guess?
In that case....
SEE YOU AT THE TOP...
