Won’t it be a very funny thing if you were worth just as much as the amount of cash in your pocket right now? Well that’s if you –like me- have just GHC1 and some change in your pocket. But if it was even a cheque significant enough to pay a month’s salary of a 100 Ghanaian policemen (no disrespect intended) i.e. Ghc15,000 (10 laptops only!), still it won’t be anything worth boiling an egg over. O and it will be even funnier if you’re a ‘credit carder’, because the way I see it, the credit card is just another way of letting you know how much in debt you are allowed to be whilst spending other people’s money till you can do small susu to be able to pay back.
Fortunately however, our worth isn’t so much in how many zeroes we have on our bank statements as it is in how we perceive ourselves to be and how much respect we accord our own selves. Now this should have meant that we’d all have a 13-digit number on our ‘worth tags’ (since its us who determine our worth anyways), but I find it unfortunately funny that when it comes to really according ourselves the prestige and worth we deserve…we fumble and fall-short of the task. Because I’ve seen a million dollar lady allow herself to be treated like something from a penny store. Several several people take trash from everywhere because they’re afraid to even think they deserve more….afraid to join the school of aim highs, afraid to be what they reeeeaaalllllyyy are supposed to be; HEIRS! Such fear is equal to being afraid to say your name out loud, I can’t even imagine how little meaning there will be to life if I couldn’t tell you -or anyone else for that matter- that my name’s Anyan.
It’s unfortunate that so many people think that their candles would shine brighter if the other guy’s candle was off, that they’ll be richer if the other guy’s broke, that by suppressing another person and making him/or her dependent we assert our power and authority. But like my pastor said in church one fine Sunday morning; “there’s too much space in the sky for two birds to collide as they fly.” i.e. You can be whatever you want to be, make as many millions as you’ll like, attain the greatest heights known to mankind without being A PAIN IN SOMEONE’S NECK, seriously!!!!
