No one is immune from the thorny traps of life,
The reason I cringe when I see people gloat over the health of others. My mother was always worried about her mother’s failing health. Sadly, she died even before the mother, and took four years later for the mother who was ill to pass on. This is how life is designed- a tributary of mysteries.
A picture is going around of the frail look of pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA church. Some are horrified and bemoan the change in status of this once young and bubbling dude. To them, he is too young to be ill – one thing, they forget is that life, just like time happens to everyone, we are just helpless traps in the hands of time.
If life’s mystery doesn’t shock you, nothing would. When I remember how president Muhammadu Buhari bounced back to life after months of excruciating ill health, I cow in awesome mysteries of life. Almost everyone feared he won’t come out of it alive – some swore he was dead and even made pictures of his scraggly body. , Today, that picture has been replaced with a man full of life, zest, and the agility to move on. Such is the wonder of God, he makes possible the unthinkable and leaves man wondering in confusion.
Regardless of your firepower, never talk about the finality of any man, just like him, you are a helpless trap of life, your status can change in the blink of an eye. Tinubu is old and sick in your eyes but he may live beyond those who are young and well, this can only be explained by the Almighty. Again, never gloat over the condition of anyone.
