Verbal Weapons

Food For Thought~ I thank God for the privilege: I volunteer in a hospital here in London every Wednesday. I met a Man whose wife walked out on him because he was handicapped from an accident. She said to him, "I cannot be lumbered with a poor handicap". She ran off with a younger man.

Here is what made me love and admire that man I saw yesterday: He said, "I am determined to live to make my ex- wife angry; I would participate in the next paralympics game lifting weights since my doctor says he cannot make me run again". I am going to live, even-though I am the last Man living on a wheelchair in my family. My family members are dead; I am the only one alive as he spoke with courage.

In an attempt to run off from contractual obligations because of challenges we end up destroying other people and ourselves. Temporary freedom is not a guarantee of success, if not Nigeria would have been a world leader by now with 52 years of Independence.

We do not need to kill physically with a gun: negative words called verbal weapons does it all. We must be very careful with what we say as individuals, families, communities and nations to people who are in need of our love and care.

The wars we see now that cannot be stopped with the best foreign policies coming from America started out because of wrong use of words. Check it out!
