Do we have to take your opinion because you are popular? If you are popular, take extra care in your words and actions. Your beliefs affect those whom you influence.

Granted, each of us has a purpose that we work to fulfil on a day-to-day basis. The real question is what drives the purpose? What part of the brain gives you that drive?

Eh. Some would say, they work for the bills. This is true, but then you can lie down and die.

I think debt drives purpose. As humans, it is in our nature to feel indebted. When someone does a nice thing for you, you feel indebted to them which in turn makes you want to do something for them.

Others would argue that it’s common decency but not everyone does it. “I did not ask you to do it” one of the few nasties thrown around. When caught in such a situation, we would fail to see the suspect paying debts to others but may not have felt as big an impact by your unpaid debt.

Anyway, everyone is a villain in someone’s story no matter how well they perceive themselves.

What kind of debt would you like to owe? The universe is diverse and unforgiving. And karma, she is a bitch. One way or another debts shall be collected. As they say, the universe doesn’t take too kindly to ignorance, you will be taught.

There are universal laws that no one will teach you. You find out and you will fulfil them. Someone once told me, you can’t live without debt because you will have no purpose then.

Oh to be young and foolish. I was naive and thought if I worked harder that could not be my fate. It bit me in the ass, in case you were wondering. I was ignorant and arrogant.

There are words that people use to describe certain feelings. Words like; depression, feeling empty…

These are feelings of lacking a purpose. Mostly you experience them after a significant event. Heartbreak, job termination, generally when your normal routine is broken suddenly without notice.

This leaves you reeling and spiralling in thoughts and actions that you would not normally engage in or would previously limit yourself on. Sometimes it’s a good thing, usually, it is, but before getting one’s state of mind to that conclusion, the process is long and bitter.

Honestly purpose and debt are so heavily entwined I can’t tell them apart. Looking for your purpose? Look into what you feel most guilty about.

Not having any debts? What would you willingly get into debt over?

This topic is endless. It will have different titles but inherently the same message. You are indebted to the universe. There are a lot of things given to you without cause. Find a way to repay them!

Of course, it’s just perceptions. You can choose to be indebted or purposeful. Its die. Roll it or not. Your coin. Be the head or face away.

An uneasy cold engulfed the Kirio City skies from a distance that night, perhaps a premonition of events to precede. Clouds engulfed heavily the night, blocking the view of the moon. Oriku was seated in the front yard facing the vast array of his ten-acre farmland on the outskirts of the city, a farm which had withstood the test of time and had been passed down eons of generations. This particular evening mzee was wearing a rather dull face considering there was nothing to smile about. On his ha
