“If I can’t have it, neither can you”
This may not be directly proportional, but to a large
extent, it is true. That how far a man will go in life has a significant
correlation with the environment he resides and the kind of people he is
surrounded with. This determines his level of exposure, accessibility and
mental reasoning. In other words, your location could be a determining factor
of your allocation. This is deduced from the life style of snails and crabs.
Do you know that if you keep ten snails and crabs in two
different
opened baskets overnight, on getting there in the morning, you would find non in the snails’ basket, while the ten crabs will remain intact in that of crabs? It looks like a misery, but that is the truth. You can give it try. This is because, by nature, an average snail aids the freedom of another. They do this by not interfering in the liberty and progressive movement of one another. They may be slow, but always on the move. But the crabs live in a world of rivalry, jealousy, hatred, envy, and insecurity. As one tries to escape, others pull it back down with their claws. They do this continuously until fatigue sets in and they see no reason for freedom. Misery loves company as the saying goes.
Unfortunately, we find things like this where we live, work
place, in the family and even in our worship centres. Any nation or environment
where things of this nature prevail does not develop. Africa and the Western
world have remained what they are today, just because of their different
ideologies to life. Africa operates on the negative side of competition. How
many Nobel Laureates, Pulitzer winners and patent rights do we have in Africa?
Competition becomes negative, if it is seen as a threat to our individual or
collective growth and development rather than a challenge to improve on
ourselves.
The right parameter in measuring a superman is not how long
he can hang on top of the ladder, but staying down and holding same for others
to rise. This is what makes you a superman. This is the mentality of snail-like
people. Nobody succeeds among crabby people. Every one of them feels threatened
and in secured by the achievement of others. It is a company of mediocre and insecured
people. You got to find your way out of their midst before that dream and
potential are destroyed. As many of them who had access to the king’s
delicacies faded away except those who distinguished themselves with just
vegetables and water.
There is fulfilment, freedom and happiness among those with
snail mentality. This is how God expects us to live. The question is, how many
people have become great through you help? Remember, He was losing life and
still gave life to the thief by his side. God bless you. See you at the top.
Jesus is Lord.
