Pathology in human existence: by Agoreyo Oghenemaro

PATHOLOGY IN HUMAN EXISTENCE



      Each time I wake up in the morning for my morning rituals; critical thinking and muse orientation, I never forget to tell myself one thing which is, ‘NO MATTER HOW GOOD A LIAR I AM, I WOULD NEVER LIE TO MYSELF’.


Lying like every other skill gets improved upon by practice. There are good liars, bad liars and even those who take it as a profession; professional liars. There are liars whose lies are so transparent you could see the actual color of the truth very visibly through the veil covering it. You wouldn’t even be aware of a barrier standing between you and the truth, not until you make an effort to touch it physically. Yes, there are liars as bad as that. There also liars whose lies are equally as transparent while creating more of a *color contrasting barrier*. There are also liars whose liars are figuratively, *‘the truth’* having no reason whatsoever to doubt or to observe any barrier or non-connection from the actual truth as it were. Be it on the good or on the professional level, lying to oneself is one great evil.


Our very existence is hinged on truth; the cells that make us up, the air we breathe, the energy we obtain, all based on truth. Lies reduce the strength of our existence. Lying to oneself is Suicide. Now, I wouldn’t be trying to support an already seeming motion that lying is a best feat being told to people other than yourself. Not at all. Lying to others is simply Murder. We all know how murder is treated by our law enforcement agencies and the society at large. In this case, Karma oversees the cases of these murderers. I describe Karma as a nation with an economy which is held strongly by the major occupation of its citizens. The world is an equilibrium system that must be balanced to ensure is continuity, what we might call ‘justice’. A tilt to the far left of the equilibrium would be balanced by a tilt to the far right. Well, not necessarily far. Who does this balancing? They are the citizens of Karma, which I also call the Karmadians. These Karmadians get paid by a supreme leader or an ultimate boss who is unknown for the purpose of this discussion. For every action, they are paid to effect an equal and opposite reaction. Isaac Newton knew the Karmadians.


Over the years, there are lies I have heard people tell themselves. Lies I describe as *‘pathological lies’*. These lies inflict with chronic sicknesses and then lead eventually to death. Death is not the inexistence of life but death is the *loss of the bonds that bind the entities that makes up an individual*. I would do well to share some of these lies with you.

*I can’t do it*
This is one outrageous statement. You have to understand that your mind is a separate entity from your soul, likewise your body. Whatever you tell your mind is what it uses to propel your daily interactions with the world, environment and situations. You can do anything. You have all it takes to do anything that your mind can conceive; as long as it’s imaginable, it’s doable. The question that comes in next is ‘what am I to do and what am I not to?’ This is where you question of doubt comes in. Anything is possible and that is the truth.
