This is a true story, there was this lad called Ola. Quite a smart and fine lad so much that everyone admired his graceful gait. Ola played football with other kids in the neighbourhood, and as you would expect, he sure never went unnoticed.
The way Ola moved and handled things with efficacy earned him the nickname "officer". One day Ola asked me, "do i really look like an officer?" that was when i knew he liked the perception people had about him, and the momentum was building up within him to live up to what people thought about him. In short, today as we speak, Ola is an officer with the Army.
This is a very practical principle which we witness everyday, perhaps we are not just sensitive and observant enough to notice it. When you call a man a fool, even if he becomes defensive, he will unconsciously see the foolish features in him. Call a man a superhero and perhaps someday he'll see his wings and discover that he can fly.
So please stop calling that fine kid a moron, apart from the fact that you are sucking away his self esteem like a vicious vampire, you are creating an enemy for yourself who will eventually go elsewhere (even wrong places) to feel strong and alive, and thus he'll see you as an enemy who he should distance himself from because every memory of you will make him feel pain.
Most of all, you may be ignorantly altering the eco system which is like throwing a stone at the market, it might meet your loved one in some sort of way, directly or indirectly.
We really are superheroes and it is quite imperative that we constantly remind ourselves of this truth beyond lucid fantasy, and gradually, the words shall wrap upon each other layer by layer until they become real and unbreakable, and the seeds mature like an acorn that has become a mighty oak tree, putting our lives in a positively pre-meditated auto-pilot mode, propelling us further into the climax of our dreams with as little effort as swimming along with the tide. Oh what peace, what awesomeness.
