Egede Lawrance writes on the media spiritual touch gave a secret example with the world of politics today.
Can we see through the veil of the darkness and blackness of the nightfall, based on the sight of mortal view in understanding the secret of world politics?
It is impossible to see in the thick darkness or blackness of nightfall except there's light.
For an instance, apart from many other references to this topic, politics is obvious in it.
Political happenings around us show that once someone exits one political party to another, he or she becomes a perpetual enemy. No freedom of personal movement nor liberty to be.
Freedom of movement is well guaranteed in the Constitution of Nigeria, and the liberty to exit a political party is established also.
They didn't say to leave e the political party in which you are a member under any form of circumstance, or that you must remain permanently there till the end of life, without the right option or personal willingness to disembark. This is very clear.
They allowed willingness to be an option for members to leave at their own accord or decision, but still fought members who left. This is a pure discrepancy.
There's a natural law based on the willingness of anybody to leave a political party, either to be on his or her own or join the desired one. It isn't an offence.
We are talking about politics perse, as it relates to playing it to consume people's freedom to move from one political party to another. There are reasons I write. It takes me night and day.
The reason why I wrote this piece is that even if a political party goes to the law courts, to contest a case against former members who have got options to leave their party or parties, such parties will continue to fail the law millions of times again and again.
There are options left for the one deciding to go his or her way, in freedom and also by choice with or without reason.
But in the case of the politics of the world, especially in Nigeria even if one has got an option, there is no tolerance, there's no forgiveness, no freedom, no chance, no consideration and no sleeping dog is allowed to lie down nor wake up in peace, for sake of the one who left his or her political party to another.
All these are because someone left and other members weren't pleased. It's common for us
The common thing is that such members, having options and leaving their parties cannot please the authorities, so far as there's hurt in any of the political party houses.
They want one to be hurt for them, not knowing the weight of one hurting himself.
Pleasing people to hurt oneself in politics does not exist in the dictionary of many options.
This issue of being pleased is the crux of the matter between God and mankind in the world.
But pleasing people has been misconstrued by mankind, who are in the political world power business at their domains.
Let me say it clearly if people aren't pleased with the abundant pleasures around them, they can't be pleased.
If any political party can't be pleased by someone dear to them, that's where their group pleasures are ended forthwith.
At times we find an important person around us, with plenty of pleasures for people to enjoy but if he or she can't continue nobody is pleased anymore.
The pleasure of remaining in a political party is not the same as the pleasure of leaving the party, of which one was a former member. Both are at variance.
The moment people are well pleased, they don't mind that any other person should be allowed freedom or liberty to move ahead without any hitch.
In politics, it is the sin of greed in the partisan bloc that doesn't make parties allow members freedom, or liberty to leave the political party to which they belong.
I have discovered over time, in the personal investigation of myself that I am a man given to the love of self naturally, but owing to the love of God not for self only I accuse myself of greed.
Therefore, I made a move to know if any other person is likewise, and saw it is true we are all guilty of the sin of greed.
I saw also that love is only for personal interest and God said to us; "Love Your Neighbor As You Love Yourself," which is the greatest Commandment for us to share abroad on an equal basis.
This greatest Commandment of God is being resisted all the while, by the forces of setbacks in the human ability to love and obey. It is as if God is mocked.
This is where the secret behind the politics of the world with all the offences resides in people.
Politics made people not be friendly with others by mocking God as if He can't be pleased in all of us if we love one another.
To always love one another is the secret of security in the politics of good relationships.
To hate one another is the secret of the danger in the politics of war against each other. Love and be secure.
Either way is a secret of the world in the example of politics, in the relationship between love and hatred. Love and be safe.
To God is the glory forever.
