Face in Phase

FACE IN PHASE BY IFIDON BENSON

The face that determines the phase of man’s existence is best described as self imagined. Its reality is the compendium of his being.  Being an object full of life, which need direction? This face aids the phase in organic form. For it is when the expression or countenance is in good order that, the stage is set for action. The action of life is a face in phase which is explicated by being.

Life means a lot to many people. What it denotes to a, differs from b. it depends solely on your understanding of this concept. To some it is all rosy while as others are not appreciative of it because it deters them. For the purpose of this discussion we will look at life meaning using Encarta dictionary as a guide.

According to Encarta dictionary, “life-existence in physical world: the quality that makes living animals and plants different from dead organisms and organic matter. Its functions include the ability to take food, adapt to the environment, grow, and reproduce”.

  From the foregoing, it is easy to conclude that life is existence.  Existence means being real, actual, or current, rather than imagined, invented or obsolete. It is the presence or occurrences of something in a particular place or situation.

For there to be life there must be existence which is realistic. Many live a lifeless life unknown to them. If living is to have life and life is existence. Then, how many of us really live in its entirety? The best that most people live is anchored on falsehood an imaginary life.

The search for life meaning has belittled man to the extent that he who is supposed to live now is dead alive.  The acquisition of certificate, food, shelter and job has sent him packing from his original position of existence.

How do you say you are living when all around you points you to nothing? You are living if you are able to meet up with life expectancy. The condition and situation that the world poses before us is great but fragile if we can live it out. When we succumb it goes with failures and disappointment,

Life is a journey that begins with a step. Like Abraham Lincoln said in his Walker Alone, “I am a slow walker but each step I take is a step forward”. Our expectation may be different from what life may present to us. The key word there is don’t give up there is hope.

When I started my journey it was very fast that I thought it will sail through so easily. The tare and wheat came in to enjoy part of it with me. At first they were friendly that I didn’t know who is who. But with time I begin to recognize their difference but could not act.

In the course of life even when problems are spotted we find it difficult to act a thing that set the pace for human existence. I live not because I eat alone but because I can move, adapt, reproduce and grow.

Which type of growth do I find myself into? Is it the one that is beneficial or the one that is detrimental? No matter the side taken at this time, one thing is sure, a decision has been taken. Where will this decision take me to, is the next question.

I never count on disappointment for it makes life sweet. But this disappointment that exposes humanity to the shackles of darkness and tests his faith is seen as a bad thing. Well this could be right as not all have the ability to stand this type of trials. Do we run away from reality?

When the missiles of life started its detonation from right to left then my eyes became opened to the things which were unknown to me before.

In conclusion, in my life search, I have learnt in all things to think like a man of action but act like a man of thought.
