Weird Life

I struggled with the title to give this story of mine...not not mine..., my friend actually.

Life to people connotes different things. We want to know who we are or even what we are most times. Many theories, ideologies and cultural backgrounds have been. But, the value of it is its achieved purpose.

Anyway, one of my perspectives to life is the reason for living and I can add, the essence of life.

Being philosophical is definitely out of it. However, some people's lifestyles could be a perfect guide for philosophers to have a specific understanding of LIFE....the likes of Pluto and Aristotle must have missed out on this discovery.

Well, according to my friend, she was on her way for an appointment with her boss when the car developed a fault. she said she had to board a bike to the place as she was running late. Getting there, the motorcyclist had no change...with her eagle eye, she spotted a shop and requested for a chilled bottle of Maltina.

She was savouring the chillness of her drink, if you have been inside Lagos sun for few minutes, savouring will definitely be an understatement, before I veer of, when a call came in just as she was about giving the seller his money.

My friend always get carried away when she is on the phone...so it was no different on this particular date

The man collected the money and told her to come inside the shop for her change, she finished the drink and stepped into the Shop for her change when she saw the fat old man oooohing and aaaahing.

A brief glance....the man was mastrubating, and boy! was he not enjoying it?

She said she did not wait to see what was down there before taking to her heels.

An old man, she referred to him. She called him sick, deranged and a could-be child rapist.

That is his life. That is the value he gets from living. Why? He did not mind if he was caught, it's part of him...doling out change in the aaahing and ooohing process..it's not an embarrassment to him. Something that gives you fulfillment is no embarrasment, doing that adds a kind of value to him.

My friend did not find it funny but hey! the man had discovered himself...


 

With the anti-gay law signed...baba needs to be discreet with his oohing & aahing#justsayin#
