She Did Not Learn, She Thought She Did--Part 1

Who learns? Who teaches? Who is the head, the learner or teacher? She did not learn. She was has refused to learn. She has refused to learn. I see no sign of her going back to learn either. The teacher was and has been so merciful, but the learner is disillusioned by the foolishness of “friends”

I put the friends in quotes because they are not really what they claim to e. why would you keep such a company of friends? I can bet my last breath, this is not the life your forefathers bread and fed you with. To a pint they shed their blood. That dream life has been long killed and locked in the prison of your greed and stupidity.

She thought she learnt but she did not. After meeting the master of slavery, there was a lot of teaching. She closed her to that too. After the age of 56, she can hardly boast of anything. Not even the treasury her master left her. Why would she be begging after 56 years of being given freedom and power to make it in an environment that very few would ever get?

Just tell me if there is anything you need more to succeed. Oh I thought you wanted to be free. You told the master you are capable of managing your own affairs. What happened? Why did you breed greedy children? Where from these irresponsible elder son> why are you little children not getting enough water to quench their thirst? Where are you strong men going? I see them at the master's door begging to be enslaved again. They even pay for the ticket of slavery now. What happened? Please talk to me.

You are the most beautiful lady I have ever seen. I don't think there will be anyone like you too. Is ther something you need or lack, tell me? Your own sons and daughters are cursing you now. I hear them. They all wish they could go back to where they came from before you gave birth to them. Why would you let such thought get into the heads of your lovely offsprings?

And those your friends, at least that's how you call them. They are not friends. If they were, they would have advised you as a friend and not to be in this mess with you. Aren't friends supposed to tell friends when they are wasting time and a precious life? Tell me. At this your age, you owe the same master you sacked, amounts that will take forever to pay. What did you buy and do with those monies? Nothing! All you did was attend funerals, parties and buy cars when your seeds slept in streets.

Oh how I wish I could cry for you. Don't bow your head in shame, look at me. Do you release how wasteful you have been? I doubt if god will even listen if you pray to him now. He gave you such a perfect land to farm. A suitable weather to help you enjoy the sun and rain. Now you hardly get food if others don't produce. You sold your precious metals for coins. Oh my lady why? You know what, am tired of talking. When you realize you have been foolish enough, you can change your ways. Take the right path again, then you can now pray to your father in heaven to help you, as you turn from your lost ways.

THINK!
