 I have always thought that life is a series of choices and chances. Everything else is constant, time, distance, death, but rapidly changing are the choices you make and the opportunities that come your way.

Chance and Choice. One you can't control and one you  chose. One happens to you and the other you make happen. Its up to you to decide exactly how your life will be defined. Will it be defined by luck, or do you make conscious decisions to shape the course of your life the way you want it? Like the poem says, be the captain of your soul.

    Zen of jogging.
    1. Today I tried to keep up with some skinny 20-something year old as he flew past me whilst I was struggling on my 4th kilometer,dragging my 110kg body and my right knee suddenly gave way.
    Moral of the story we may all be on the same track, but we aren't all running the same race.
    Haiku-
    Know your race,
    run at your pace,
    look at no other's face.

The doctors  are Nigerian. The nurses are Nigerian. The police are Nigerian. Even the armed robbers who snuffed his life out are Nigerian. Nigeria didn't fail him, Nigerians did. We have become callous as a people, not seeing other human beings as humanity, but instead as commodities, we view them using a value scale; 'what do I gain from doing this for this person?' Then we bury our conscience under a mountain of religious platitudes, hoping to graft our way into heaven with pious religiousness and generous donations to wealthy clergymen. Part of me wishes his soul doesn't rest in peace may it worry the conscience of those first responders that refused to see his humanity, and most especially may it plague the dreams of the Nigerians who decided it was ok to take a young mans life for a laptop and a phone,just like Macduff's ghost did to Macbeth, may they run mad and die painfully horrible deaths.
