TRANSCENDENCE



   Every day we wake up to meet something new, it could be a slick app, a cutting edge invention, a breaking news, a long anticipated movie, a record breaking music, an eccentric dance step, an overly fashion concept even a new sermon.
   
   Thank God my name is “Newton” which I consider “New-thing” so everything about me is New. Been renewed every day is purely an indices of maturity, growth and progress.

   Transcendence means (1)“Extending usual limit”. (2)“Being beyond the limits of all possible experience and knowledge”.

   Obviously, over the years, the world we were born into has transformed into a complex state of affairs were more people communicate via gadgets than person to person. (Hummm hard to believe yea)

   So many jobs are facing off due to the new inventions coming up daily; I came across an article sometime ago that states “In 2020, over 5million jobs will be lost to robots”.

   However, this is a massive threat to humanity because our population isn’t getting any smaller but the jobs indeed are. We can’t ignore the fact that jobs these days involve more use of computer which indirectly reduces human effort thereby injecting unemployment in some sectors.

   Criteria on another note have become so complex that fresh graduates can’t get jobs unless they have 2-10years experience in fields that are completely new to them. Sometimes I ask “aren’t people suppose to start from somewhere” if every establishment is only looking for 2-10years experience, it means there is actually no employment rather a promotion or upgrade for qualified individual cos people aspire to go upgrade.

   The most annoying thing is that some CEOs, MDs, attained mega positions with only WAEC result. Notwithstanding, these same people that worked with lower qualification have underwent different programs to boost their qualification to suit the current demandsMy mother worked at the bank with a WAEC result as at then but now mere BSc. graduates are regarded as not up to the task.

What actually happened?

   Is it that graduates aren’t matured enough to handle jobs, or has our educational system run down over the years in transmitting quality education however affecting the performance of graduates in real life practices, or are graduates completely gullible to perform their rightful duties in relation to their discipline, or the world just decided to make life more difficult for everyone with upgraded experienced demands.

   I earnestly need some answers. It just seems like as the years goes by, everything become a broken fragment of the previous year thereby decreasing humanity to complete absurdity.

   There is a new taxi service currently operating in Lagos, Nigeria “Uber Taxi”. Their core value, mission and goal are outstanding yet they have done a number of harm to people in the old fashioned taxi business. I checked the cost of what it would take to register your vehicle and believe me; the cost isn’t up to the returns because you will need a sharp car if you don’t have one, do series of registration, insurance, get an outstanding phone or the company provides for you with one on special discount from your returns, amongst others.

   Obviously, it’s clear that you can run your private taxi business without Uber, but the issue is customers are dive-bombing into something new especially with the cheap fare.

   Another area I want us to look at is the transcendence of makeup artist in Hollywood movies that require skillful personnel from all works of life to conventional CGI (computer-generated imagery) which is super flexible such as implanting the face of a dead actor on a living (Paul Walker’s Fast and Furious 7), instigating emotions like creating tears on a characters face, creating a world inhabiting by different life species (Avatar) amongst others. All these have rendered many artists unemployed as their skills aren’t needed unless they go learn digital artistry and reapply. Yet it’s not a guarantee they will be accepted cos CGI doesn’t need crowd.

   Even marriage has transcend from what it used to be to a different ball game meant for the comfortable (rich), matured, wise, creative, educated and spiritually upright individuals.

   People who thought marriage is fulfillment are proven completely wrong with the rigorous challenges sprouting up. Okay now don’t shoot me let me analyze something.

   A rich man that beats up his wife or a poor guy that loves and cares for his wife... Either way none is better, the complexity in marriage these days is as a result of the demoralized society we find ourselves. A society where financial imprisonment/starvation, is witnessed by most individual, even the so called celebrities who use scripted smiles to make fans feel everything is alright.

   The best thing anyone can do for him/herself is having a steady source of income, making yourself a valuable asset that your spouse complements you. If you aren’t made whole, what makes you feel you can fit into another person? No one wants a broken soul attached to his/hers so it’s your own goal to accomplish your very own goals, build yourself before thinking of marriage.

   What matters most is fulfillment and satisfaction. Marriage on its own is huge distractions no wonder they say “there is time for everything”; there are some goals that when single will take you 2years to achieve but when married it’s likely to take 3 or more years.

   In relation to marriage, babies are beautiful creatures that sprout into this world without warning. Ever done your survey on the cost of pre/post antenatal, baby delivery, supplements (drugs), pampers wipes, baby cloths, etc...Don’t stop there, school fees, house rent, welfare, security bills, water bill, miscellaneous, you’d padlock your sex organs when you are done calculating.

"No one will blame a 35 years old bachelor or spinster for been alone but would curse a 35 years old Husband or wife who can’t provide for their home."

   There is absolutely nothing worth the rush cos there are many years to be married and live happily ever after even in the afterlife.

   In conclusion, pardon my ranting; I’m only trying to make something clear. Things aren’t getting any easier, policies upon polices will make life harder than ever as life itself transcends.

   Here is the solution, apart from rededicating your life to Christ which makes things easier through his effortless provision in all spheres of life (this has been working for me) [Matthew 6:33] “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and everything will be added unto you”…..you also have to help yourself by upgrading your being. Don’t just sit and watch life kick you out of your own script. Your destiny is in your hands, you become what you want, so transcend.
