We Need More Communication



The 21st century! Magnificent in its technological advancements and its allure. I mean, look around you, forty years ago, there are many things that were nonexistent or in the least, poorly developed. But now, everything is so easy and quick. Truly wonderful!
One of the many highlights of this century is the social media and the other myriad of ways of talking to one another. Naming them would consume unnecessary space. But you see, the problem with our age is that of too much taking and
very little communication. Normally, one would think that with the variety of ways to reach the people you love and even meet people you don't know, that we would be communicating better. Alas, that isn't the case. If not, why are there so many problems arising almost daily in our world. Divorce, religious intolerance, political and social strife, educational breakdowns, insurgency, and all other problems we face today are clearcut examples of the fact that we talk more than we communicate.
What's the difference? Truly, I can't really say, but I feel that in communication, all parties involved are allowed to say something. You give everyone a chance to be heard. You understand each other. And that's another problem with everyone talking: no one has time to understand the other person. Every person wants to be heard, to be on top, to feel
superior. You hear such maxims like “no more inferiority complex”, forgetting the the basic things that make us human, being humane. Let me ask you a question: when someone does or says something hurtful, stupid or outright annoying, what is your first reaction? To do your own back? To prove that the person is stupid. Normally, that is the usual reaction. But what if we paused and asked ourselves, “why this action?”, “why this kind of statement?” I tell you that if we acted more like this, we will build more bridges than we an imagine.
So friends, I implore us to make maximum use of the technologies we have, let's communicate more and by this I believe we'll go a long way in solving our problems. Thanks.

Why God Has Not Forgiven the Devil

A friend of mine once asked me: “If God a such a forgiving and merciful Being, why hasn't He forgiven the Devil?”  I am sure that it is not only him that has asked such questions. A lot of other people have also asked similar questions. But here's the thing, it can't happen. Why? This is because there is no redemption for fallen angels. Angels are naturally more wise, intelligent and by far more intellectual than humans. By virtue of these characteristics, they have full cognizance of their actions — their effects both positive and negative. And of course they are imbued with the power of choice. So, when an angel chooses to be evil, there is no turning back. Not that God has somehow stopped being merciful or is being partial but that is the nature of angels.  It is like this, an adult human being who with the exception of medical complications decides to urinate on himself is clearly aware that is isn't proper, and it would smell and inconvenience him and others around

CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION From ancient times, plants have been used for treatment of human diseases. Since the time of early Neanderthal man, medicinal plants are the source of health care management (Farnsworth et al., 1985). The exploration of the chemical constituency from plants and pharmacological screening will provide the basis for developing new molecules in strategic favour of natural product of drug discovery. Vegetables are important in rational nutrition, thanks to a rich content of nutrients and energy, especially as a favourable influence on the functions of the physiologic human organism. Most vegetables taste like, with different shades of one variety to another, some of which are rich in essential oils, glycosides, pigments etc. which stimulates appetite. The large number of species, varieties and varieties of vegetables are raw material for preparing a variety of foods, thus improving range enriching food. The chemical composition of vegetables shows high water co

Truth!

I've seen many guys get angry when some girls say that all men are rapists; they will be like, "Don't generalize. Not all guys are rapists!" Now, while the statement that all men are rapists is false in its entirety, that's not the point. The point is THAT SOME MEN DO RAPE. A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF MEN DO RAPE! That's what we should concern ourselves with—that some people like us are acting like animals. A girl who has been molested before (some have been molested many times) DOES NOT KNOW THAT ALL MEN DO NOT RAPE). We do not have a tag on our forehead that say "I'm a rapist" or "I'm not a rapist", so I don't see why that would be a problem to you. Now if you were "wrongly" accused of rape and you were asked to defend yourself, that's a different thing; but for a girl to (probably) say that all men are rapists and it becomes a problem to you, then my brother, you're part of the problem. Because you left the
