USEFUL BUT WORTHLESS

I love my room for many things: the paint on the wall; my beautiful wallpaper which gives me happy memories anytime I look at it; my table and chair- my place of inspiration; my bed - my wonderful companion that keeps me company all night. Lest I forget my hanger- the pillar that holds my clothes of many colours.

However there's one thing in my room that I’m not proud of and that is my rag which I often use to clean dirt on the floor. Although, it is useful at times but it is worthless. Hence I have relegated it to the background from visitor's view.

In my reflection I discovered that many people like rags, they are useful but worthless. They are used, misused, abused and dumped because there's no value placed on them.

Many employees, slaves, prostitutes, assassins, thugs, hypocrites, lazy and the poor belong to this category who are captives of abject poverty, ignorance, unemployment and pride. The society does not recognize them. Not for who they are but for what they are. These groups of people settle for the crumbs that fall from the rich men's table.

I opine they are not victims of fate, but products of their inner world.

”What you think you become. If you don't have great plans for yourself you'll end up achieving someone else's plan”.

 Let me ask you. Are you a rag? Are you useful but worthless? Does your opinion count? Are you ridiculed and not respected? Does your life emit a negative signal to the world? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, you need to

#CHECKYOURSELF and

#CORRECTYOURLIFE.

 It's up to you to make your life valuable.
