Bad News!
Rumours!
Sad Happenstance!
They all spread like wildfire. The speed at which such travels, is what baffles me most.
Ok! Last night, I heard rumors, cause I wanna believe it's a rumor, of one of a renounced man of God in Uyo. It was a sad news or a rumour better still.
First I heard the man is gone, secondly, I heard he is in a coma. And this is someone that majority has seen during church service and even after that.
So why the sudden news of death and coma?
What happened? No one could give a valid or solid answer to back up the information or update about this negative news.
Let's say about 60% of the news spread is from mere assumptions since none of the family members fed these people with the news so how come? How and where did they get the news of his death? Or coma? And even if it were to be true? Why spread it so fast? In a twinkle of an eye, It was everywhere.
Though it is still very hard to believe any of the above stated, so I left it in God's hands to decide the man's fate.
When Compassion Is Lost
It's quite alarming the rate at which bad news travels. Have we ever wondered or asked ourselves why?
Maybe if we ponder on this or look closely, we will discover that compassion is lost, it is nowhere to be seen or found.
I mean why get so hasty about telling someone else a bad happening or even spreading the bad news?
A personal quote I say to myself every day is if you can't celebrate one's success then you have no right to speak of their failures
Yes! We have seen the rate at which people are quick to celebrate one's death all in the name of sympathy and bad happening as if it was something to be boastful of. Why is it so easy for people to type rest in peace to someone who wouldn't even be able to read them when they are gone?
The same energy, effort, love, and concern would have been channeled to the person while he or she was still alive but sadly in most cases, it isn't so, rather the reverse is the case which shouldn't be.
It seems humanity has lost compassion, they rather celebrate bad news than good ones. They easily update people of bad happening than good ones. Where have we lost it, to say the least? What exactly is going on?
I really do hope that we can make amends and be passionate about one another like what should be.
And I really do pray and hope that the flying news about the death of the man of God is false because generations are/were looking up to him as their role model after Christ. He has been a great impact on people, especially the youths, so I really do pray and hope it's a lie.
Meanwhile, let's learn to spread love and positivity and be compassionate towards our fellow men.
Have a lovely and rewarding day guys!
Still your baby girl ;)

We are all busy chasing after wants that we forget the invaluable things such as love, compassion, empathy. It feels like our touch of humanity wades with each passing moment.
I heard the story too. I took it to be a rumour since no one has come out to verify the news.
