I feel like my life is a game of tennis right now,
and I'm just about to reach my break point.
I mean, I can't even begin to comprehend or explain the shit that's going on now.
Fuck this.
Three strikes, and I'm out of this game.
Three strikes.
What a coincidence, the newspapers had an article today on suicidal people.
I can't help but think through the similarities between Okonkwo's society and ours sometimes.
In case you haven't read, he lost all hope in his people.
What happened to the war-like spirit they once had?
Fearless, bold and courageous.
What I'm trying to say is that these aspects are highly admirable.
Then there's one of the main themes on 'Change And The Inevitability Of Change'.
Pretty obvious/straightforward right?
Look at our current generation,
and tell me you don't see certain similarities.
Maybe it's just me, I don't know.
I'm just ashamed to be a part of this generation, that's all.
Oh, and because of the loss of faith he had in his friends and family, Okonkwo hanged himself.
Just saying.
In case you didn't know.
Don't think it's never crossed my mind,
because I'd hate to tell you how wrong you are.
