Satisfaction Has No Standard

You know ever so often one gets so caught up in life. Oh... what if i dont make enough money, what if i am not successful in the future? What if this, what if that.

God has a strange way of telling his children to calm down and slow down to take baby steps and most of all, to take steps in His footsteps.

i recently just came back from my understudy's place along bright hill crescent. What do you know, i managed to see Auntie Joy's work for the first time, not bad i must say. it really instilled the passion back in me for architecture, on how a beam works, how stairs are made, the filtering of light between the columns. i love architecture, i hate the red tape. But i well for one have always thought about the above mentioned of what ifs'. i can clearly state out that if a sudden catastrophe were to strike me or my family, we would not be able to recover and salvage our home. Our home is our joy and our joy lies within the fact that there are happy memories of me growing up in its warmth, the pain and the joys, the falls and the learning. Home. Each person identifies home as in various light, beggars call their alley ways home. Many people for sure call their flats home. each block emanating warmth and comfort that it brings to people.

Would a big house equal big satisfaction? Frankly, think about it? Yes, one's bought a big house, but imagine the cleaning the washing of clothes, the bills and all. That aside... it humbles me to think that i am just afterall just a small speck on this world. Yes i as of all people of every denomination ask for wishes to be granted, dreams to be fulfilled. But ultimately, one has to question, where does it all stop? Its a bottomless pit that goes on forever into the abyss, i ask for one, i grab a branch and pull myself higher, i ask for another, i snatch it. I ask for yet another one, but trip and fall. i try again searching for another branch but to no avail, will you climb another tree? Because deep down inside, you know for yourself that if you took the long climb down the tree, you would have used up all the time left in your life. Many people climb many trees, many not looking or knowing where's the top.

So it begs the question, will you climb down the tree of life, or just be satisfied? You're already 21 metres up and counting. will you take the leap or just be satisfied?
