Enlightenment and value | Juwon Ogungbe

A chance encounter on a person’s quest for enlightenment and skills development opened up vistas of experience that were not planned for.

Responsiveness to stimuli has its pros and cons, just like anything else. Many junkies are hooked in difficult situations because they are impressionable.

Those who have tunnel visions, preferring to stick to familiar paths are unlikely to develop variegated hinterlands.

Much depends on where value is placed in a mindset or worldview. Personal experiences belong to each individual. Anyone involved in telling stories or mentoring is likely to derive benefits from being curious.

Material possessions can be accrued, but they can also be frittered away, stolen or eventually passed on to future generations who will have no idea regarding the price paid to amass them by the original owner.
