Violence only begets Violence

Violence only stirs more chaos.Very true. But in a situation where violence is forcefully imposed on innocent lives, civilians and bystanders. Where people are killed with no respect for lives, religion or consequences then there is a problem. Not just ethical or moral problem but plain inhumane problems. Especially when there's nobody fighting back. But then its hard to fight back since the violence are caused by "Boko Haram"- a supposedly militant "Islamic group" with links to Al Qaeda. Honestly though Who or what is Boko Haram? And it seems like every attack on Nigeria Boko Haram takes credit for it. Including bank robberies, suicide attacks etc. I guess its safe to say there are many sectors of Boko Haram that Nigerians still don't know of. Every suspect that has been caught gets gunned down! Do the police and government not want information? Or are they just gunning down random people who they think are Boko Haram members because not even the police know whether this group truly exists or not. What about the senator that was funding them. I bet he will go Scot free, I mean its Nigeria, where corruption has reached a peak that there can't be any form of corruption to match it. Which leaves people thinking if its all political. Bombings and violence started as soon as President Goodluck Jonathan became president and ever since everything went insane in a country that has been peaceful since the civil war ended in 1970.
violence is a fact of life. Just like hunger, love, kindness, etc.There are people who are willing to use it to get what they want and in order to stop them they need to be met with violence. If it wasn't for war and violence or the threat of waging war people like Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin would be running the world and you would get shot for going around saying stupid things like violence only begets violence. All other tactics and measures used to eliminate these people has not worked and they are still stirring terror everywhere. Since they haven't stated what they want or why they are bombing and shooting innocent people or at least the public hasn't been informed then they need to be treated like the animals they are. They need to be eliminated. Talking, pleading etc isn't working for them like it would work for normal peaceful human.
Fighting like a disciplined soldier is one thing, fighting like a cheap thug is another. The government and security agencies need to come together and eliminate them once and for all since they obviously don't want peace..whoever they are. And while they are at it also find out if its all political and if politicians or people with power are funding and financing these terrorists for their own reasons. But unfortunately the system has become too complicated and corrupt just like every single candidate lies to get elected and then sells his soul to the parasite special interest groups or individual who gave him the money to run his campaign..
Violence is never the answer, but these terrorists are on a killing spree which doesn't look like the en

d is coming anytime soon. Too much blood has been shed, and its not like God will personally come down and make it all stop. I'm just being practical..But then again it's me just thinking out loud

  1. Hi Ummy, your thinking is right by pointing out that we are not living in the jungle where everything is brutish and nasty and no one is safe but sleeping with one eye open. you see my mate,if we truly live in the jungle, how could we be safe? lion is the king of the jungle, tiger his vice and the ministers are hyenas, we antelopes are nothing but prey to them, that is the reason why i will like you to bring out your intellectual strategies that could set us free from the traps of these wicked. thank you.

Duality vs Oneness

In many mystical traditions, God is seen as the One Source of all that exists. From this perspective, nothing stands outside the Divine, not even the shadows we fear. Both light and dark, joy and pain, are contained within the infinite mystery of God. Yet in faith traditions like Christianity and Islam, the devil is understood differently, not as God, but as a creation of God. The devil becomes the symbol of separation , the willful turning away from unity, love, and truth.  Where God is perfection and pure goodness, evil arises not from the Source but from distorted will, pride, and rebellion against divine alignment. Beyond the Image of Horns and Fire, The devil is not a creature with horns, a fiery tail, and glowing yellow eyes. It is not merely an external monster lurking in shadows. Instead, it represents the energy of separation, the distortion of truth, the rejection of compassion , the misuse of divine gifts . The devil is rebellion against unity, whether it shows up in i...

Divine is Beyond Labels

Theres so much beauty in the universe. I honor the presence of God in everyone.   The diversity of this world doesn’t confuse me, it makes me fall deeper in love with God and with humanity. Our differences are not barriers. They are beautiful.   They are the artistry of a Divine Creator. The essence of God is not confined to one name, one tribe, one religion.   Race, nationality, belief systems, these are human constructs, not divine limitations. God is Spirit. Boundless. Pure.   Far beyond every box we try to fit the Divine into. We are born open, whole, deeply connected.   It’s fear, ego, and conditioning that teach us to separate and compare. To believe one soul is superior to another based on tribe or religion is not only untrue, it’s a distortion of truth.   A distortion of the Divine. If God wanted one tribe, one race, one religion…   Wouldn’t that have been easy? But diversity is the design.   Each of us, different yet divine.   Every ...

Versions

In a moment of profound self-reflection, honouring the different versions of myself that have shaped who I am today. Every choice I’ve made,  every decision that felt uncertain at the time, has contributed to the wisdom I carry now. I’ve journeyed through many phases of growth, each one adding depth and understanding to my identity.  In some ways, I’ve been many people in one lifetime and that’s something I'm proud of. Each version of me, whether it was a version of hope, doubt, strength, or transformation, has served a purpose. And now, looking back, I can see how each part of my story was necessary for the person I am becoming. I honour that and in doing so, I honor my capacity to evolve. It’s a reminder that I’m never stuck just always in the process of becoming, continuously shedding layers and uncovering new possibilities.  I stand as a testament to my own resilience and growth, fully embracing both my past and my future. While reflecting with gratitude ...
