      Going down the memory lane would remind us that even christ in the Bible knew the importance of being kind and good. No wonder the miracles performed by our master Jesus have remained uncountable and innumerable, the healing of the blind man called Bartimeus, the paralytic and also the story of the good samaritan. Hence, in him we see the melange of goodness and kindness together with its beneficial fruits.
     Consequent upon this, we cannot say that goodness does not only defy odds. To cultivate goodness and kindness is valuable of the business of life. As Christians if we do not consider all other people as having value and worth. Knowing, we are prejudiced, against which the Bible speaks strongly, my brethren, do you with your acts of favourism really believe in our glorious Lord Jesus christ?  For if a person with gold ring and in fine clothes come into your assembly, and if a poor person in dirty clothes also comes in, and if you take notice of the one wearing the fine clothes and say,  'have a seat here, please, while to the one who is poor you say, ' stand there, or 'sit at my feet, ' have not made distinctions and become judges with evil thought.
      Being good, kind and nice translate to accepting each for his/her individual worth. Experience and research have prove to me that some people still wallow in the vice of predicament and suffering of their fellow human being. All these are due to some factors like socio-economic class (great gap between the status, ethnic origin and otherwise.)
      Let us bear in mind that each and every one of us on earth is important. We cannot leave without the other. Individualism should not be found amongst us, rather let us uphold communalism. It is only     in the practice of communalism that we can see and recognize the importance of each person irrespective of his race, colour, age, sex, etc. Everyone has value or as a popular saying of the growing up years reminds. God don't make no junk ".
      In conclusion, let us know that it is only the undervalued, underated, belittled that can be in a better position to teach us, encourage us and even be important allies for us. This is because they can easily sacrifice their time, energy. Being kind always comes back to repay us in the long run. We don't lose by being good, kind or nice. One elderly gentleman once said, "when I treat other people with kindness and love, it is part of my way of paying my debt to God and the world for the privilege of living on this planet.

READING AND UNDERSTANDING

All reading is geared to understanding. There would be no point in reading if we did not understand what we are reading. However there are many different obstacles in the way of easy understanding of a passage. It is your task as a reader to actively seek to break down the barriers to understanding.    One block to understanding is caused by references in the passage to things that are outside it. Pronoun are the first examples of words that refer to people and objects. Sometimes, it is easy to follow the reference at other times, it is more difficult. Look at the opening sentence of the passage you've just read that begins this way  "She was waiting for us:small, dowdy, dirty..."  Who was waiting? Who was the person waiting for? (Perhaps you would also like to know why she was waiting.)Answers to these questions will surely help you to understand and thus follow the reference. The first thing to do is to ask questions like the ones we have just asked and to read t...

Housing Problems

Housing is certainly one of the basic necessities of man. However when rural dwellers migrated to the urban areas in very large numbers, housing has become a problem. This further exacerbate by the upsurge in the number of people coming to stay in a country, increasing the country's population in a manner that surpasses the rate at which houses are built, and the relative in cash flow which makes people desires better living conditions.    The importance of housing is so universally acknowledge that the United Nations declared 1986 international year of shelter. But so far, all efforts made, including building of housing estates by the government, have not solved the problem of inadequate housing. How could this be solved? The government should make provision of amenities to be getting in cheap rates, various building materials such as cement, roofing sheets, asbestos, as well as finishing materials such as paints and tiles. The government should build and sell the house at a...

Why women have sex

Why do women have sex? And why do women have sex without commitment? It might be easy to assume that a woman’s sexuality is like a man’s, but if that were true, why would so many men still believe that there are good girls for marrying and fun girls for, well, fun? (That double standard is a myth, by the way.) Before you label her one thing or the other, consider her motives for hooking up with you. We all love a good throw down every now and again because, let’s be real, it’s a great time. But guys, here’s a little secret: Sex is more than just an evening (or afternoon or morning) of fun. In fact, according to science, getting busy on the regular can benefit your overall health in some pretty major ways.   Below are some reasons women have sex: Sex lowers your blood pressure One study shows that sexual intercourse specifically—as opposed to masturbation or other forms of sex play—has a significant impact on lowering systolic blood pressure (the first number on your blood pre...
