Why the need to be grateful to God after all?
“It’s like my life is an experiment before God. I don’t even
think He cares about me or my existence. Or is God’s existence we were told, a
mere fairy tale? Despite all I have given to life; my prayers, my
supplications, my persistence, hard labor, to mention a few;
but see where I am
today. I am still crawling and struggling with life when my contemporaries are
flying. Things are everyday falling apart for me. I have given much to life
than what I am and where I am today. Even people that, ordinarily, are not at
my level are now far above me”. Why me? Why is life turning this way for me?” That was Kunle’s statement as I overheard.

I felt broken where I sat and I was going to ask myself the
affirmation of the existence of God if life wouldn’t just give according to how
we labored, worked and prayed. I was going to ask myself the significance of
time and chance in the life of a man. I was going to question God and
indirectly tell God life is not fair (But I was wrong also). Momentarily, my
eyes flipped through on the headset I was holding in my hand. The left side
just got spoiled few days after the right side spoiled. It was at this moment the
answer to Kunle’s plight came to me, and I want you the reader to learn from
this.
Few days ago, I felt sad when one side of my expensive headset
got spoiled. Prior to this time, I would take good care of the headset, I would
protect it from falling, I would only use it on special occasions. But the
moment the right side got spoiled, I lost all the passion towards caring for the
other side that was still working. I didn’t appreciate the second side of the
ear piece again despite the fact that it was still working pretty well. I
underestimated the importance of the single working side because the other
side was not functioning. Ultimately the truth dawned on me when the both
sides wouldn’t work at all. Is hope alive?
A one-eyed my will never appreciate the single working eye
until the other becomes blind, an amputated man will not appreciate the other
leg until the second is no more. The poor man will never appreciate his life
until he is tied down by a terminal illness. You will never appreciate your two
square meal until you truly understand the meaning of hunger without certainty
of the next meal.
