BEWARE OF THE ELEPHANTS!

‘A man who is trampled to death by an elephant is a man who is blind and deaf’

An elephant is not just like any other animal you can easily find in the forest. It is big, massive and terrifying.  Whenever and wherever an elephant walks in the forest, everything falls apart. It is only a man who is blind and deaf that would allow himself to be accidentally trampled to death by an elephant.

Elephants don’t just kill people or trample people to death suddenly, their magnificent status, majestic movement and scary looks while they thread on any path in the forest are enough signals that alert everyone in the forest to keep off.

Also in life, our ancestors believe that there are several things that do not happen to us suddenly. It is only a blind, deaf and insensitive person that would allow himself/herself to die of an ailment which ought to have been prevented. A sick man who ignores the prescription and medical advice of a physician may soon be trampled to death by the sickness when it becomes critical. A student who refuses to prepare and study for an exam may soon get trampled by failure when others are being promoted to the next level.

Whenever you find yourself doing something that could provoke the wrath or anger of the creator; you are expected to be conscious of the existence of an invincible elephant that may soon trample you to death. Whenever we hurt, humiliate or deceive people in life, nature has a special way of alerting us about the consequences that such negative actions bring along; if you choose to be blind and deaf to the alert of nature, you may soon get trampled to death by the force of nature.

So, as from today, be sensitive to nature and carefully consider the consequences of your actions and reactions in life before making any decision. May you not be blind and deaf when your elephant approaches in life.
