What public figure do you disagree with the most?
View all responses

Hi….

I hope all of you are doing well…!

This question comes a time that is so fragile,
with a fight that goes on the border region,
turning into a full-blown war as each day proceeds,
but,
across this,
the one who faces all of the heat are those who are in the region of crossfire,
the people who existed and continue to exist within the 0 to 50 km range of the borders,
and from their point,
just existing,
living their lives has become a problem,
that won’t go anywhere anytime soon,
but,
the reason for this full-blown fight-off,
the reason that some “terrorists”,
took innocent lives at a place that apparently had no army presence which it needed to have being the sensitive nature of the territory that it is,
but
who had to make sure the enemy presence was there or nor?
who had to make sure that the army personnel were already present there to ensure safety of the territory and any person who were to be there…

What,
do you have any answer than those whom we appointed,
who became these ministers,
who are at a place that we consider they achieve to serve,
but,
they’re there to fill their pockets,
the immense greed that takes over their mind and body,
and,
let situations like this happen,
where people like you and I become the one who gets caught,
loses their lives,
and then,
hangs a photo of those whom we lost,
considered as victims of the war…

This post became dark really quickly,
but,
the type of person one becomes after joining politics,
no matter how clean or good they are,
they become the type of evil where things like these become,
happening that are imminent,
they can’t ever be avoided,
But can’t they,
If precautionary measures would have been there well in advance…?

A thought…

Love Waakiye 🤍

From the comfort of your homes,
The four walls within which you feel safe,
The word WAR feels like something that should have already started,
but,
For you and me,
it’s all in the news,
not something that has bothered us even a single bit…

But,
What about those who are involved in it,
Those who live in the area that has seen shellings,
their sleep disrupted by constant bombings,
As they’re awoken by a bomb blasting near them,
In their vicinity,
as they try to sleep their way through it all…?

Are You a Leader or Follower? Discover the Truth

Daily writing prompt
Are you a leader or a follower?
View all responses

Hey…

I hope each one of you reading this are doing well…

This is the first time I disagree with the prompt,
because there should be both the qualities in a person;

They should be capable of leading as well,
and even be quick to follow when they come across a concept that is unknown to them,
or if you have less information on,

because all of us are humans,
we have limits,
limits to our knowledge and capabilities,
which makes us different from each other…

There are times that I’ve led people on with these words,
giving them vivid stories to read,
also live in,
but,
I was led on by them too,
when they provided me an insight into a concept that was foreign to me…

For example,
A person,
Whom I cherish,
told me about her life,
How her mother separated from their family,
brutally which led to her forming extreme issues,
but,
the story of the said person is coming out of it is so brave,
that,
it makes all of the other problems seem small…

There’s no such thing as being a leader,
without being a follower first,
You followed someone footsteps,
even if you are unaware that you did,
IT HAPPENED,
You unknowingly followed and aren’t aware,
OR
knowingly followed but choose not to admit,
because you think it makes you a smaller person….
BUT;
the day you admit to this,
is when the real growth happens…

Cheers 🥂

Voter Apathy: The Case for Casting Your Vote

Do you vote in political elections?

Hey..

I hope you all are doing well…

The prompt of this day sparks a real honest question to all of us,
it just doesn’t ask us about our political stance on the type of government we favor,
or what political beliefs we grew up with,
cherishing them,
even spreading them among those who come from us or are in our company…

G0d knows,
I’ve seen many people who don’t vote,
just because they think that their votes don’t matter,
and just because of that they sit home,
or avoid making an effort that will ultimately be a changing point in their lives…

I come from a place where elections happen after every 5 years,
and its a bias to think,
one is good,
the other one is bad;

But,
the scale goes like this,

All of them are bad,
all of them either came from money,
or they come to make money,
no matter the path;

If they have to cheat someone for money they’ll do it,
if they have to remove someone from their paths they’ll do it,
if they want to stay in power beyond their terms, they’ll do it,
they can and will do anything to stay in power and make money,
and more even if it means cheating their nation of money,
that are paid by said taxpayers of which you and me are a part of…

That’s why it’s important to choose,
who are good even if they stem from evil,
they must have a certain side to them,
that makes them less evil than others,
isn’t it….?

Almost forgot to answer the question,
yes,
I do vote,
and with all might,
i tell everyone,
your vote,
the person next to you their vote,
your old grandparents.
even their votes matter…

So,
if you get a chance,
go out,
and vote…

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

This is how it feels,
choosing something that’s not necessarily for your benefit,
but for a good that is going to come out of your peace and mind,
but that’s the price that you pay for existing among those you consider your own…
