LIFE OF UNCONSCIOUS SELF-INFLICTED CONFUSION

Lost confused unsure unclear perplexed disoriented bewildered

"They call it jokes, some people say they’re just playing, I didn't mean that. Others say it's one of the funs of friendship. Do you know what I call it? I call it unconscious self-inflicted confusion. It is far worse than being crazy. It is the madness of the highest order."

Some of us are living in a constant state of confusion daily without knowing. Anyone from the standpoint of foolishness never knows that he is there. It is said that just at the point of realization that anyone has been acting foolishly is wisdom on its own. Therefore when once people realize that they act foolishly on any subject matter, they are already becoming wise about the subject matter. This is just for emphasis. Behaviours and the interpretations of behaviours by others are relative. We all struggle in this light and I'm no exception.

There are not many things as worse as someone not knowing and he does not know that he does not know, because, in that state, correction is almost impossible. The inability of someone to not know that he does not know when he does not know is one of the worse states anyone can find his or herself in life. The point of change they say is the point of realization.

Now with the constant state of confusion that people live daily without knowing. How can someone; let’s say person A calls Person B fool and wise at almost the same time (one minute fool and the other minute wise). We call someone an idiot at one minute and call the same person intelligent at another minute. We call someone rubbish and later say to the person that you are the best and so on. What a life.

I can only imagine what might be going through your mind right now because I think that most of us have seen so many of such situations and have experienced them to the full. You may have also gotten very used to it and if care Is not taken, you are even well Involved in this life. They call it jokes, some people say they’re just playing, and say I didn't mean that. Others say it's one of the funs of friendship. Do you know what I call it? I call it unconscious self-inflicted confusion. It is far worse than being crazy. It is the madness of the highest order.

Do we know the importance and the efficacy of words? In the realm of words, there is nothing like a joke. The words we speak (whether we believe it or not, whether we are joking or not) are life, they are real (nothing can be more real) and they are powerful. They live, they don't die nor fade. They wait patiently to accomplish the purpose to which they were sent.

We don't have to believe in the force of gravity for it to take effect on us. It is holding us to the earth right now. It doesn’t matter whether or not we believe it. In one of the seminars on positive living, I attended in 2009. A lady (an authority from the US) said if anyone ever says to you that you can't (in anything), make sure you say you can for at least nine times to nullify that which the person has said. An ordinary you can't? Someone may ask. Words are powerful. Let's not use our words to destroy our ignorant selves and ignorant friends and pals with causes. We know ourselves; our tongue drives the course of our lives.

We can go on and on about words and their efficacy, but as they say, a word is enough for the wise. Even though everyone is not expected to be wise, there is a level that is expected of everyone.

We should try not be cursing people in the name of being friendly or trying to joke. Words are as powerful as anything we know as powerful. See There Are No Ordinary Words.

Let's choose to bless instead of to cause and if you find it difficult to bless, just remain quiet for the most part until otherwise.

Woman - Poem

By Costly Oma . 1. Unaware, she seems, Fragile, yet able. Tender, she appears. Weak, yet strong. 2. Subtle with wit. Accommodating with guard. Loose with focus. Loving with vision. 3. Characterized by beauty. Categorized as an angel. Graced with curves, And strides with style. 4. Builder like a bird. Keeper like a hen. Lover like a dolphin. Carrier like a whale. 5. Protector like an eagle. Giver like a hose. Fighter like animal. Server like a servant. 6. Product like honey. Fierce, yet gentle. Comforts like a home. This is a woman.

NYSC SCHEME - Poem

By Costly Oma . Written In 2013. First Published: Feb. 2014. 1. An idea was birthed, And into action, it sprung. Since from Nineteen Seventy-Three, Youths have been shuffled. 2. With a call, we moved A call to serve, our best to render, A call to give, our best to offer. A call to keep one Nigeria 3. Under the sun, we matched. In the rain, no difference. When it’s bright and clear, And otherwise, we answer. 4. A call like no other, Beginning with a journey, Then living three weeks in exclusion, Learning new things in new style. 5. A call so anticipated, Becomes so tiring with time, Then feels it should be extended but boring, Yet memories linger. 6. With the hope of National unity, It was birthed. I hope that its cause has not been tilted, For sacrifices have been made. 7. NYSC SCHEME, We hope that your aim we achieve, For your call we heard, And your rules we kept. #nyscpoem #nyscschemepoem #scheme #nysc #poems #nationalyouthservice #nationalyouthservicecorp ##nationalyouthservic

Time - Poem

TIME Speaking!!! 1. Trust me, I’m in your beginning, In-between. And in your end. 2. I’m a part you can’t do without. An entity of immeasurable worth. A unit of the highest value. A mystery in essence. 3. Your future, I determine Your goals, I monitor Your achievements All, wrapped up in me. 4. I’m terrible. I’m hostile. I’m always against you. But I am a friend. 5. The diligence blesses me. The froward curse me. What are you? I AM TIME. 6. Seek me early and In abundance, you shall find me Seek me late and In the scarcity of me, you shall wallow. 7. Feel you have me, Lost me, you’d just. Feel you lost me, In hast, you must be. 8. Yea, you wish, I know. That I could be friendlier. But this is who and what I am. Just time. Man Speaking!!! 9. Oh, time. A treasure, yet cruel. A blessing, yet a curse. In endless circles you are. 10. Fashioning every man’s destiny. From where did you spring? A limited counting you are, In regular intervals. 11. Regulating man’s every endeavour. Slow it is wh

Father - Poem

By Costly Oma . 1. A Father. A role you are given. A role you didn't ask for, Yet you accepted, And have learned to understand. 2. A Father. Like a purpose, You stay loyal to it's aim. Like a vision, You stay married to it's picture. 3. A Father. Characterized by strength, Categorized by direction. Geared to provide. Wired to protect. 4. A Father. You carry a burden, Burden unknown to your wife, Burden unknown to your children, Burden unknown to your family. 5. The strength of the home. The defense of the family. You cry sometime, Oh, yes you do, But not in the open. 6. Children misconcepts you, Misconcepts your nature, Nature of care and provision, And ascribes everything to their mothers. Lost are we without a father. 7. I love you dad, I don't misconcept you, Thank you for your seamless, Seamless care and provision. My Father. #costly #oma #costlyoma #costlyomapoems #costlyomablog #father #fatherpoem #poemaboutfather #poemaboutafather

The Reason

By Costly Oma . 1. Solace, I find in poetry. In poetry, relief, I find. Not without the pain. But the pain, it soothes. 2. In my darkest days, And in my darkest hours, A line of poetry, in my heart, The difference, make. 3. When I find myself lost, In all that I cannot explain, The courage to press, A poetry gives. 4. My first love, I cannot tell. The present, past, and future. I choose the now, For the morrow, I know not. 5. When the bridge is out, And the living, being choked away, But saddled with poetry, To hold and hold I may. 6. From the lines of Ann Taylor's My Mother. To the ancient scripts of Dangerous Beauty, I grief still, But a lift, in poetry I find. Happy World Poetry Day.

My Death-Feelings So Far – Part 1

By Costly Oma . My Death Encounter Part - 1. ~~My Body Leaving My Body~~ Sometime in the first quarter of the year 2018, around 4 AM in the morning, while I was still in bed, I was woken up by a strong presence of what I can call death. I felt this chilled cold sweep past me, from the soul of my feet to the crown of my head. It was so dramatic as I feel like the cold was swallowing me, starting from the soul of my feet to the crown of my head. As I got completely engulfed by the cold, I woke up. I woke up and got down from the bed but I was still seeing myself lying on the bed. I stood up but it felt like I wasn’t the one standing as I was seeing another me lying in bed. I was obviously at this point confused as to what was happening as I am both standing and lying down at the same time. As I was yet to get my mind organised as to what was happening, I saw a thick dark cloud forming at the westside wall of the room. This thick dark cloud looks so dirty and it smells so bad. As this cl

My Life Experiences And Quotes

By Costly Oma . Life has a way of Teaching, Taming and training humans. All of these life's teachings could be termed as Life's Experiences and everyone has had a measure of them. No two individuals have the same sets of life experiences in their entirety since no two people have been known to have been subjected to the same sets of living in all ramifications since our life's experiences are how we live based. I've got some of my life experiences compiled. I hope they give you something to think about as you go through them one after the other. In the cause of life, I've come to learn the following: My father would always say; Make sure you know all there is to know. If you want something done well, do it yourself. He that rests, rusts. Education without morality is like tea without sugar. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. People generally, hardly mean what they say but women are more so. And he warns; be extremely careful on how you execute women's de

Be Inspired - Story Of An Elephant and a Dog

An elephant and a dog became pregnant at the same time. Three months down the line the dog gave birth to six puppies. Six months later the dog was pregnant again, and nine months on it gave birth to another dozen puppies. The pattern continued. On the eighteenth month, the dog approached the elephant questioning, "Are you sure that you are pregnant? We became pregnant on the same date, I have given birth three times to a dozen puppies and they are now grown to become big dogs, yet you are still pregnant. What's going on?" The elephant replied, "There is something I want you to understand. What I am carrying is not a puppy but an elephant. I only give birth to one in two years. When my baby hits the ground, the earth feels it. When my baby crosses the road, human beings stop and watch in admiration, what I carry draws attention. So what I'm carrying is mighty and great." Don't lose faith when you see others receive answers to their prayers. Don't be e

There Are No Ordinary Words.

60% of all human communication is Nonverbal, meaning body language. 30% comes from the Tone in our voice. This means that what is really coming out of our mouths is just 10%. By Costly Oma . Our Words are like Bullets So To Say In a world where everyone has something to say and we are all saying one thing or the other, it is pertinent that we all learn and know or become aware of how to choose our words carefully and the tone in our voice correctly anytime we are engaging in a conversation knowing that for the message to be communicated accurately, there must be sound, and tones make up sounds and sounds come in words in conversation. Here is something I call the right choice of words. When the tone is right, the sound is right and when words are carefully chosen, communication is excellent. Don’t you want to get to that point? For me, I always want to be there. In this article, we will be learning the importance of choosing our words and the tone of our voice correctly when engagin

That is, having the knowledge to choose whether as couples, we want to have a male child or we want to have a female child at any time that we want to add a child to the family. This method of course is Shettle's method of choosing the sex of our babies. It is called the Shettle's method because the method was named after the person who invented it Landrum B. Shettles in the 1960s. This Shettle's method was published in the book How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby , coauthored by Shettles and David Rorvik .
