A LESSON YOU HAVE TO LEARN FROM THE STRUCTURE OF A KETTLE!

Every kettle, be it of big or small size, will have a tiny nozzle through/from which the content [say water] of the kettle is discharged. Though the opening for putting water into a kettle is bigger and wider, users still discharge [hot] water patiently and meticulous through the nozzle though tiny. Why? Because they know evidently that discharging the hot water through the wider opening is risky and may cause serious injury; remember it’s not a crime or sin to discharge the liquid content of a kettle through the wider top opening. Discharging the water through the nozzle of a kettle may only take few minutes when done with patience and carefulness though it may take extra few seconds than when it's done through the wide opening at its top.

That is how life is; the opening through which we put in our efforts in our good endeavors is wider than the opening through which we receive the favors [or outcomes] of our manifold good labors. Have you wondered and pondered why the gain gotten from selling goods with the cost of 10,000 is not up to half of the cost price? Achieving success through good means require patience and carefulness; though it may take time, but it must surely come to fruition if you bide your time, and if you are doing the right things. It is not that you cannot discharge water through the top wider opening of the kettle; but it’s rare and risky [especially if the content is hot water]; that is what fraudsters, thieves, launderers, embezzlers, drug traffickers, and perpetrators of other vices do: receiving more than they ought to; that is why such activities are deemed risky though lucrative.

Now, kettles are mainly designed for boiling of water [that is, its general use]. No matter the degree of pauperism one may be in, I don’t think there is a sane and sage person who uses kettle to cook rice or to prepare stew/soup. That is the problem we have in life, many people misuse their life kettles in the forms of misused potentials, talents, and destinies. It’s obvious that some people [though some among them are oblivious of the fact behind their actions] use their life kettles in preparing soups. I have been writing from 2010, but I began to publish my works [on blogs and websites] from 2014, still have many more written bywords and articles to publish; it’s all about patience and other virtues.

The General Problem [GP] we have in life is that we don’t think more than we’ve seen, heard, or read; take GOD and HEAVEN away from the BIG PICTURE of Christianity, and you would behold many people behaving iniquitously. Let’s stop deceiving ourselves, God sees through the minds of humans. Yes, it’s good to be good on the altar of God and making heaven, but we should be good even if there were to be no God. Use your potentials wisely and for the right purposes. I am not saying there is no need to do good because of God and making Heaven; but please, be good because you have made up your mind to be good. May the good Lord bless you as you make handy use of your flairs.
