BETWEEN AMNESTY AND AMNESIA: A SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE


As earlier discussed in this blog’s last post, amnesty and amnesia, though similar, cannot be synonymized.
God forgives and blots out iniquity of men; thus granting a form of ‘political pardon’. However, the sin of a man finds him out, the consequences of his folly do not evade him, as laws are set in motion by one’s actions.
This typically shows, that no matter how much amnesty we receive, there really is no amnesia, as the laws set in motion most times, do not respect amnesty. Simple truth.
There is however something interesting about these phenomena; and that is the fact that every noticeable fault is a privileged opportunity to learn and grow. If you survive a situation, get political pardon (even when there’s no amnesia), you get stronger…like a common saying: Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Thus, even if you don’t receive the much sought after amnesia, you get something more valuable. You get freedom. You get to train people. You get strength. Sometimes, you need the experience.

Freeze time…right then, this lack of amnesia means the world to you!

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...
SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1.       REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2.       DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3.       PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches. Branc...
