THE REALITY OF LIFE.

There are so many values and qualities in life that we mortals take so for granted, but the truth is without any of these things we are as good as dead. These gifts of life do not answer to race, gender, weather, background and environment. Every human has access to these qualities of life; they are a needed necessity that greases the wheel of our day to day living as human beings.

Who you are does not determine the level of accessibility available to you. So do not get it twisted, it is free doesn’t make it affordable.

The very first of them is peace from the inside, when youare at peace with yourself, nothing unsettles you easily. Like a baby, you growwithout any fear or paranoia. Tell me how much peace from the inside cost and iwill be ready to buy all right away. What a wish. Being a president of a nationdoes not give you command over the army of peace, i mean that peace that comesfrom deep within the soul. If you don’t have it, you really don’t have it, notwo ways about it. 

Appetite is another free and unaffordable quality that all mortals need to live a good life. Some may wonder what nonsense is this, come to think of it; this thing does not cost anything, but paradoxically no one can afford it. Not even a good multivitamin can restore a shattered appetite. What is the essence of sitting before a continental dish or delicacy when the meal looks and smells like shit in your appetite less eyes?  A lost appetite is as good as not having food at all.

Life and nature knows the value of this subtle but real asset, which was why it never placed it in the hands of any man.

Love is also an asset and gift that no man born of a woman can afford to own, control, purchase, subdue and distribute. Funny but true, while will a poor man see and live in the reality of true love effortlessly, while a very rich man still thinks the idea of love is just a big illusion, because he has never had love visit him. Don’t blame him, the truth is; money can never woo love, neither can it hold it to ransom. It respects no status rather, it moves at the direction where it is needed and valued in its true worth and glory.

Some take this simple act of been able to sleep without the influence of any external force or arrangement for granted. We just go to bed and drift into a sweet and quiet sleep without appreciating the beauty behind this powerful gift of life. A man in his well built and luxurious house, puts in it a modern bedroom with the most puffy and fluffy bed ever to be made. Yet every night he waits patiently and anxiously for sleep to visit him naturally, all to no avail.

 While at the other side, a homeless woman with her children right there on the floor of the street, lay down their backs and before the wax from the candle becomes solid again, the whole family are deep in sleep. That is so crazy and weird; the one that has a place meant for sleep finds no sleep, the one that has no place for sleep, sleeps endlessly and effortlessly. It is free for all but never answers to all. A cosy bed most times never guarantees an effortless sleeping experience.

Happiness another gift of life that can never be bought with money, this singular quality of our existence is answerable only to the scope at which you as an individual can see it, live in it and believe it. Happiness is so real but yet cannot be seen, let alone bought or stocked. A woman that has four girls is still not happy because she feels she needs to have a male child, while at the other end, a so called barren woman is so happy, that her happiness is contagious. You ask; what is she really happy for, well that is for her to know and for you to keep guessing.

Anybody can have a good character or personality, but not everybody has it. It is so free and accessible to anyone who cares for it, but it can never be acquired with material things. Beauty does not come with good character funny, neither does a sweet handsome look births a welcoming character. The one that people look down on maybe the one with the best character, while the one the world hang their hope on, knows not the value of a good character. Once you don’t have you can’t buy it, it is not Porsche.

A good sex life is also another funny thing; life gives to anyone who is willing to grab it. A good sex is not dependent on where it is done, how much it costs to be done nor what time of the day it is done, what matters most is how it is done. Your status or beauty never determines a good natural sex life or drive.

Also beauty can never be bought, arranged, controlled, given or developed. The richest of all may still feel inadequate about his or her looks, while the average or poor looks into the mirror and smiles back at the image before him or her. 

To be beautiful is free and available to all, but it depends on how you see life from a broader spectrum. Once your idea of beauty ends on the face and skin, then you have gotten everything all wrong. Beauty is gift money cannot buy.

Smile is one thing that no amount of money can get, that smile that travels a long mile into the next person’s heart. If a mad man smiles almost all the time, why then do most people can’t afford just a smile, a genuine one at that.
