Musings: My Seeing and my Knowing!

I think there are so many things we know little or nothing about even in our field of study. More painful is that, we never are able to fully point out what we know about what we know. We see what we want to see and then we know what the world wants us to know.

My Seeing and my Knowing

WHAT I SEE. I can see that the world is messed up and that no matter how good people try to make a difference, there always will be a reason for us not to be able to fully grab what the picture shows because, they are illusions.
I grew up in the very rugged streets of Warri Delta State and in my growing up days, we were constantly made to believe that what we see is it.
We are constantly pointed towards the divide that makes us understand what the Society wants us to see, understand and know.

We are told to be smart, strong, educated and God fearing. Going to school in those days was a must and if you 'dare' come forth and tell your parents you want to be a musician or artist of any kind, 'you will be sitting in the midst of the elders, while they consulted the traditional deity about your condition.'
My street was the most twisted and most neglected yet, the most thriving because we were always working to make sure we stayed above waters and then survive to live.

I see that in the ghetto, there are no-gooders, criminals, thugs, rogues and everyone who survives must be feared because they are thugs.
I see that the need for self validation never came from the individual but from the streets.
I see that it is only those who work for the government that are able to afford the good things of life.
I see that the bright young men on the streets always die young because they always manage to get screwed.
I see that it is compulsory for you to attend school and then to wait for the government or society to determine the kind of earnings that suits you.
I see pain everywhere on the streets and despite the struggle that happens and the selfless sweat we put into making a better day, we never get the true value for our sacrifice.
I see live going full squared making some very few to be all powerful and strong while riding smoothly on the majority who do the work.
I see nothing changing and as for a country like mine, we wait endlessly and no matter what we put into making our day better, we end up coming up short.
I see my rants making me look like a twisted and crazy individual who constantly thinks, he will make an impact and make the world a better place despite the difficulties laying square ahead.

Now let us see my Knowing.

To know, you must open the curtain!

---

I know the world is crazy and that nothing works when you follow through with the plans and laid down rules of society.
I know I will never amount to anything waiting on the government to govern and make available the things we need to ensure we live well.
I know I do not have to go on ranting about the pains that we feel and will feel when we wait on the society to help us grow.
I know I will have some more winnings to do because I have seen and now I am working with the things I saw.
I know I am a winner because, someone has to win and I am sure there is a spot for me on that podium.
I know I hit the goldmine when I joined Steemit over a year ago.
I know that we need a decentralized society that helps its youth think outside the box.
I know this is a good place to be and when you happen to get it, you win.
I know what needs to be done to ensure the world stays sand and flourishing.
I know you know what I am ranting about.

Seeing the way life is programmed to make the majority work under a slave styled setting, it will take work to bring about a world where the gifts and true love of the creative commons become profitable to direct in terms of growth and life in itself.

I Feel Blessed
Crazy thing is- I am right now in my hotel room in Uyo where I am getting ready to attend the RootHub Seminar/Meetup where I am expected to talk to an audience of smart individuals about Steemit and the Steem Blockchain; and the question I ask myself is,

HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?
I MEAN, HOW CAN A REGULAR SMALL TIME TOWN BOY BECOME A ROCKSTAR BLOGGER AND SPEAKER, SPEAKING TO INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE MORE EDUCATED THAN HE IS?
HOW AM I ABLE TO CONTINUALLY RIDE SO BEAUTIFULLY ON THE STEEM BLOCKCHAIN?
WHY IS THE STEEM BLOCKCHAIN IMPACTING MY LIFE SO AND THAT OF MILLION OTHER CREATIVE COMMONS?

Anyhooosss, this is my rants and I know it is consistent with that of a dreamer who happens to walk into dreams taking wings.

---

Make the world a better place for someone today!
