“A man who uses force
is afraid of reasoning” (Kenya)
Force is the process of using violent physical
action to obtain or achieve something while reasoning is the process of
thinking about things in a logical way before reacting; opinions, ideas that
are based on logical thinking.
Our ancestors believe that the best way to deal or
relate with other people is not by force but by reasoning. Those who rely on
obtaining things by force usually fail to consider viewing things from the perspective
of the people/person that they relate with. In most cases, things that are
acquired by force are against the fundamental human right; hence the process of
acquiring it becomes unlawful.
It takes a mature mind to be rational. Reasoning
commands more respect and accolade than force. Life is better lived when people
consider things from different perspectives before taking vital decisions.
Instead of also considering viewing life from the lenses of others, many feeble
men choose to be sentimental by doing things their way, regardless of other
people’s consent.
As from today, learn not to force your way to
stardom, fame, wealth, power, position, marriage, success and any other things
in life. If you truly want it and you think you deserve it, let it come
naturally by reasoning. Don’t be a coward! Don’t force it! Let it just flow.
