Day 246 of wisdom
“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”
Proverbs 14:34 (King Solomon)
To every action and inaction there is a consequent reward or penalty. One cannot emback on a journey towards Jerusalem, and expect to arrive at Medina; we cannot engage in evil deeds, and expect good dividends. Nature does not cheat any man, neither can nature be cheated. Whatever a man sows, he reaps.
Righteousness not religion exhalts a nation, but sin (corruption, lawlessness, tyranny, etc) is a reproach to any people. No matter who you are, if you do the wrong thing you are definitely going to face reproach, but when the right things are being done you are sure to be exhalted. Righteousness is not a religious nomenclature, it simply is, *doing the right thing* . Award winning, and multi talented Nigerian artist Cobhams Asuquo, in his song 'do the right thing' said, "There is something missing in the world today Its the one thing that can make the world okay, and it doesn't cost nothing, no you don't even have to pay Its about doing the right thing everyday."
He further said, "If the right thing is the order of the day, then the world would be a better place to stay, but corrupted mind is your worst enemy, so I suggest you do the right thing starting today." If we all as a people, irrespective of our tribe, ethnicity, gender, religious affiliation, or societal status are determined to do the right thing wherever we find ourselves, it wouldn't be long before the world see what good is in us, and how great we are.
Sometimes, doing the right thing may not be convenient for us, but if we must achieve greatness as a nation, every individual must look being his personal gratification, and comfort, and do only the things that will enhance national development, and growth. Be courageous in doing the right thing, keep a good attitude, even when no one is watching, do the right thing, do the best you can, and show people you truly love, and care for them. If everyone will do the same, our nation will soon become a true pride.
