Nepemenekwet

Nepemenekwet was born in October 23, 1969. His parents died while he was 9 and
at once, life became bleak. Though he had no relatives to cater for him, he had
the alternatives of living in a foster home or the shelter. He went for the
home. His new family was a childless couple who wanted to feel the warmth and
share their wealth with a child because it is a shameful and miserable thing in
trying to be happy alone.

They gave him a room that he never had even when his parents were alive. The
couple brought in other adopted girls who were older then their son. At sixteen,
he began to weed their bushes. With the perdiem his parents gave him, he quickly
began to forget his humble beginnings. When he broke off with any of his adopted
sisters, he blackmailed her and she was warded off the shelter for trying to
rape him. Both girls were returned to the shelter and he thought he had won. He
continued clearing any bush he met. He was a human chimney at the age of 18 to
cap the Dream.

Apparently he was enjoying the Dream. He had a flashy car, huge bank account and
a duplex. Very few at his age could boast of anything of the sort. He fell out
with a coworker and maneuvered for him to be terminated. His young enemy from
Africa had a wife, kids and a family to feed. Nepemenekwet thought he had won
because neither God nor man was quick in reacting.

In october23, 1982, he felt as though he was running out of breath. The next day
he was rushed to the hospital and the doctors diagnosed him with cancer that had
spread all over his body. They went for blood tests and he had the homophone of
seven plus one. He sat on his desk and ask what evil has he ever done that he
should be repaid like this?

My friends, sometimes calamities strike us and we wonder why we. While some are
just from God to teach us patience and perseverance, others from our
carelessness, some to honor God, yet most are plain retribution from nature.
Each time we cause suffering to someone else somewhere, nature prepares a
package for us. At times, it comes in the same packet but other times it is
wrapped differently. Make people to cry of you want to cry. If you want to
laugh, make others to laugh. What goes around comes around

We have made people to loose their jobs, broken their homes and others we
rewarded their good with evil. Know that life always rewards the evil we do unto
others. Anytime you are making someone loose his or her job, think about you
losing yours. Anytime you slander and blackmail to ruin the life of another
human being on this earth, think about your own life. Anytime someone tells you
it is a secret and you tell a third party, think about it if your own secret was
spilled in the market square. In short, do unto others what you want them do
unto you.

You see a young prosperous man and the next day he is paralyzed in bed. You
visit a home and see a beautiful model but her womb is closed. Tears in the
night and tears in the morning; crying for the mercies of the Almighty for a
child. You buy a home and two years later, you loose your job and it is
repossessed. You buy a home and have no insurance but it becomes meat for the
tornado or hurricane. Your relationships always end in heartbreak. Tears left
and tears right. Your middle name should have been sorrow. Don’t misinterpret
me. Not all calamities are a retribution of nature but most at times, the evil
that we do, live with and after us. You are rich but you fear your own shadow.
People see you outside and think you are smiling but it is a plastic smile. As
you know, plastic surgery may repair a damaged face but a plastic smile will not
do for a miserable life.

A few years later, Nepemenekwet’s sisters (the same girls he had maltreated and
falsely accused) came to pay him a visit. They were all doing fine and happy.
They had put the past behind them and life was sweet like honey. As usual, life
always rewards those who are maltreated with some special joy that their enemies
lack. He was gnashing his teeth with misery. They forgave him and left. If you
are laughing today, don’t mock or add burning coals of suffering on those who
are crying. Nature may select you next.
