THE SNAIL AND CRAB GENERATIONS

                                “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 centers. 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 for life. Africa operates on the negative side of competition. How many Nobel Laureates, Pulitzer winners and patent rights do we have in Africa? Very few.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 insecured 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 fulfillment, 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 loosing life and still gave life to the thief by his side. God bless you.See you at the top. Jesus is Lord.
