THINGS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL TO HUMANITY
Everything in this world is into one another. Nothing is standing in isolation and everything is essential.
God created this beautiful world for us to live and He also puts creative minds in us for us to make use of what He’s put in places.
Three things are essential in a man’s life apart from him having air to breathe in, having clothes to put on and having shelter. They are:
- Agriculture
- Water
- Education
Through AGRICULTURE, we have so many things, food to eat, food to sell (this generates income), we know about turning timbers into planks for another purpose(s), some even discovered mineral resources located in their areas through agriculture etc. All these are essential to humanities.
Imagine eating heavy food, peppery food, and exercising the body without drinking water, returning home after hectic works from the office, peradventure, one’s car does not have “air conditioner” so the person is driving on a sunny day without drinking water, planting seeds without watering them, not having water to bathe, to wash and clean up etc (for me, I can’t even imagine it, it is so worse). WATER is as essential as the air we breathe in. I once heard that people with kidney issues should be drinking water a lot because it cures. I read in a book that it is good to drink 6 cups of water per day because it cleanses and removes dirt from the body. Water is not only useful to the body but also in agriculture and all other aspects of life.
Education is the best legacy. In the primitive age, the early people used their energy to do ALL their work, walking from one city to another to sell their products etc. When civilization came, we received EDUCATION, through this, we have the technology and we see that things are easier than we thought.
My maternal grandpa, (my mother once told me this) because of the low education he had, some elites cheated him, when he was enlightened by his lawyer (his lawyer was not around when he made the transaction, and it wasn’t a time of mobile phones) that the people cheated him (land issues) he took the matter to court then, the matter was prolonged and he didn’t have the strength of coming and going to court because he was too old, unfortunate for him, he died because of old age and that’s how the people had the land. Now, assuming my grandpa was an educated person, he would have known when those people came to him to make the deal, that it’s not legit and that they want to scam him.
Education is not only essential in making us know what’s right and wrong but also helps us to be creative, to be able to use the technology we have now effectively, adding more knowledge to the existing ones by filling in the gap, it makes us a successful person and helps us to stand out wherever we go. The way an educated person will do things will be so glaring and helpful than the way an uneducated person will do the same thing.
In all your getting, get wisdom (EDUCATION), always contribute to the advancement of food supply and everything essential to humanity (AGRICULTURE) and don’t ignore the benefits of water to humankind make use of it and help others too.
