I have heard stories about the most wisest man still living on earth from my grandfather when I was still small, I grew up to be one of the best hunter in my village, I have killed small and bigger animals like the elephant and hippopotamus many times in the forest, so one day after returning from one of my hunting trips, I made up my mind to visit the old wisest man and learn from him, i walk seven days and seven night, across rivers, over hills to get to the cave of the wise white bearded old man, he welcome me warmly and I was so tired that I couldnt discuss much with him until the following day, he sat on a golden chair and here he asked the reason for my visit to his abode which I told him and he was happy to hear it was knowledge I came to seek and here he started with the pompous fellow....
The wise man advice to the pompous fellow
Sorry to the pompous fellow, have you do away with the character? If you haven't, I plead with you to stop because pride comes before downfall, any one that put on the garment of pride will later be put to shame. We ask the pompous man to go and call the God of thunder, he got there and call on God of iron.
- A wise person will always check his pocket before he spend money but a foolish person will say he want to do what his peers are doing
He would have forgotten it is the household a child comes from that we used when naming him. For those that doesn't think, you don't know what the other rely on, if you are not scared of debt today, it is the day the owner of the money catches you that you will know debt is not a good thing.
I want to warn you, when someone offends you and the person later realised his mistakes and beg you, forgive him, remember it is not because of your riches nor power that made him to beg but it is because he loves you. People are not scared of power but love, if you refused to forgive him, you would be put to shame, and he will tell you to do whatever you like, you won't be able to die, you won't be able to use your head to hit the wall, you will now put on the garment of shame and start to regret, if only you had forgiven him when he pleaded but it is already late..
You pompous fellow, remember that your second name is stubbornness, if you bear these names, you will soon lost your honour from those that loves you, your friends and family that advised you but you refuse to listen to will no longer love you and will no longer value you. They will call you a bad person and when you are in trouble, they would neglect you, but still I want you to know there is a difference between a pompous fellow and a good heart. Everyone knows the difference between good and evil.
Our creator gifted us this knowledge, If you decide to do a good deed, many people will try to talk you out of it, do not listen to them, if they call you bad names, it is not your name they call you, you are a good person.
- When your story change and you become successful, those people who abused you will start to praise you, those that ignored you will start seeking your attention
live life with wisdom, I will like to say a short story so you can know the end of a pompous fellow
The story of the pompous king of the forest
Once upon a time, there was a lion who lived in a forest and it was the only lion in that forest, it happened that it doesn't want to stress itself before it eat everyday, so one day it called all the animals for a meeting in the forest and when they arrived. It started its speech:
I thank all of you for honoring and answering my urgent calls, it shows you respect and regard me as your king, I believe you all know I am not a wicked king even though I hunt and kill some of you but I want you to know it doesn't make me happy to hurt my subject. God gave everyone the kind of food to eat and we all know a hungry man is an angry man, some of you feed on grass and are satisfied while some of you eat fruits and we have the tiger and some others who feed mainly on flesh.
As you all know, I feed on your flesh to survive but because of the love I have for you all, I would suggest you make a list of how you animals will be coming to my den willingly so I can feed on you, that will enable you to know the time each and everyone of you will die and also those not yet their turn would be able to enjoy and roam about without the fear of me pouncing on them out of no where. As you all know I do roar whenever I am hungry and no doubt that used to cause fear in all of you, if there is a plan and everyone of you knows its time to die and come to my den willingly, I wont roar so loud anymore, and the rest of the animals still alive will live happily, this is what I think and I will like to know your opinion..
'After the lion end its speech, the hyena stood up and said "greetings to everyone" I noted one word in Mr lion speech, he talked about different kind of food animals eat and that is true so the best plan I can think of that I will like us to do is if we are going to be visiting king lion one by one in its den, it is not all animals that will go because I don't think the lion eat more animals than i, as I feed on buffaloes so do I eat deer, so I think if one third of the animals come to me and the rest to the king, it will be so great.
The tiger also have its own suggestion that the chiefs names should not be put on the list and they all agreed. The task was given to fox to handle, when the fox started to arrange the names, he put its name first and the rest followed and as the agreement, the first in the list must to go to the lions den the next day, the following day fox did not show up in Mr lion den till night fall, the lion was so furious ,it called its chiefs the tiger, elephant and the hyena and they summon the fox immediately to enquire why he didn't come as expected, the fox didn't allow them to finish when he started to explain:
King lion you will live long, it wasn't my fault, my house is not far from here but on the path leading to your den, there are four other animals like you, elephant, tiger and the hyena, the animals were amazed, they never believed there can be another species of them in the forest, the fox continued; and those four animals are the ones that couldn't make me come here as they are always pursuing animals to kill so before there can be peace and the arrangement can work you need to defeat those animals, they ain't as strong as our king because they have pursued me countless number of times, but none of them could catch me, when the lion and its chiefs heard this, they told the fox to lead them to where the animals are and the fox led them to a well filled with water, he told them to look inside the well and when they did, they saw their reflection, thinking it was another animal, they jumped into the well and that was the end of their lifes as they all died....
