Notion iii

I'm always pondering on many issues. For instance, right now I have been wondering how and why religion is such a control tool on humans especially in Nigeria. Don't lecture me on how blasphemous it is or how things of the spirit if folly to the flesh cos I have heard about it tons of times already. I don't know why people are so scared when religious arguments come up and believe me, a lot don't like getting into it as they don't want the possibility of being open-minded to reality or how it would affect their views.

I question a lot of things, especially those that have been ingrained in my mind from a young age and the ones I'm still learning or researching on. I question theism, atheism, philosophy and 'isms' in existence, critic both patriarchy and feminism,  slander our Nigerian lifestyle and Western Lifestyle, doubt human rights, our culture and Western culture, argue on love and relationships, family and friendship, goals and visions... In fact, I'm critiquing my thoughts as of this moment.

Likewise, I tend to be open-minded about a lot of things and I believe that there is improvement in my thoughts and feelings. It helps me to be more rational and logical and I'm quite satisfied with it. If you ask me what I align myself with, then the answer would be nonalignment cos I'm still unlearning a lot of thrash that I was taught and I forge my path without any inhibitions and reservations. Of course, as of the moment, I still have restrictions stemming from having no independence, but I believe I will get there soon.
