The bad in life is terribly bad
Outside EcoBank Towers, Nairobi CBD, is a well maintained garden sorrounded by spaced, black, short metal poles with reflector marks round them.
But it’s here that just one person decided to do bad, one day, by making a very very indeed minute short cut walking inside the garden instead of following the right space in pavements.
Even after the dry path was ‘canceled’ by Nairobi City County Governor (NCCG) workers recently who tilled the whole garden and thus ‘removed’ the short cut path, a different person (possibly not the first short cut initiator) decided to return, unashamedly, the short cut in the small garden.
The originator of the short – cut path, may not be aware wherever he or she is, but this first action still motivates many pedestrians, perhaps subconsciously, to walk on the flower garden despite the fact that the paved footpaths are wide enough.
Sadly the bad shortcut footpath hardly saves even a minute of the time which perhaps its original initiator had intended to save.
Next, indeed, opposite the garden is a stretch of L-shaped concrete & terrazo-finish seating space.
Recently i struggled trying to get sitting space here not because it was fully taken by people but because ‘bad’ had invaded yet again.
Someone, possibly children playing or a lunatic with no sense of right or wrong, had decided to smear mud–red soil mud– , possibly after the recent light rains in the CBD this ‘soiling’ or dirtifying and making dirty most of the sitting space.
Eventually, i found a small space at the edge of the terrazo-finish concrete and shared it with a fellow human being also keen to sit.
I hope the rains will fall soonest and in plenty and in huge intensity in order to naturally clean the mud and soil so that people can get enough sitting space as the NCCG had envisioned in constructing the sitting space.
As i sat squeezing in the only apparently clean sitting space, i reflected on how the bad and inconveniencing actions we do daily tend to suffocate what God or His people/His workers initially intend to be good and of benefit to us all and the wider Society.
I reflected on what could posdibly be done to lessen the bad actions we do daily and which often turn as the evil that terribly inconveniences Society making life less enjoyable.
