Race as we all know is about a competition among racers,a race is what you start and a must to finish it,a race is full of obstacles like hurdles,such is life...
Life is indeed a race,which everyone has been running from the genesis of the earth,and which we also started from the day we were born.
Everyone wants to be rich and healthy,but some don't wanna involve in the race,they want to be rich, famous and wealthy in just one night,some get tired on the race and dropped their hopes on becoming great,while some dropped their hope on the race to chase after a shortcut which leads to their demolition,what a life of vanity...
Now is the time people do fetish things to get money,fame and glory,some sold their soul to the devil in exchange for money,fame and glory. VANITY...
Chase after good things that your heart desires,but don't change the hands of time by getting yourself involved on the fetish track,life is turn by turn,you get yours and I get mine at the appointed time.
Here are some things that makes people lose their peace,soul to the devil.
MONEY.
Money is a legal tender used in the exchange for goods and services.
There's a saying that goes like this "money is the root of all evil" and believe me that is true, nobody wants to die in poverty, nobody wants to live a wretched life, everybody needs money to take care of their needs that's why we get ourselves a paying job,but now the devil sees that what 100% of the earth is after is money,so he implements his ways to get to humanity,which gives birth to the extreme love for money.
Too much of everything is bad,but too much of money is dangerous, people wants plenty money and then the extreme love of money grew in them,so they forfeit their long run race to chase after the shortcut,they get their money in a fetish way,but the money can't last since they so not work for it.it is said that "you cherish what your worked hard for than what it is given to you freely" and also lose what they gave in exchange.
Now to the second most wanted thing the devil uses to capture most people.
FAME.
Fame means being popular.
In a race the best runner gets the fame and the rewards just like Usain bolt,but some people wanna get the fame,so they cheat in the race.
Most people wants to be known all over the world,to me being known all over the world is a big disadvantage to us because we never know who is who.
Fame is what pushed most of humanity into where they are not bitting their fingers saying the phrase "had i known".
The patient did eats the fastest bone.
When we wait for our appointed time,we will surely get what we wanted and without regrets.
What I mean by waiting does not mean you won't work towards your goal,an idle hand is the devil's workshop.
We work together towards our goal to achieve it.
Thanks for reading.
