It is the 21st century and the world seemed to appear different. Earth didn’t change, the cloud didn’t change it’s colour, the oceans and sea has not dried up, like a watering can, the sky still feeds earth with fresh clean water, those mountains erected some thousand years ago are still the same. We may have eaten a portion of their parts, but yes, their magnificent height and attractions still glows. We have had series of change in climate and perhaps threatened by global warming but mother earth is still earth. Accommodating more species from various kinds of kingdom.
Of all the six kingdom in biology — Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Archaea/Archaebacteria, and Bacteria/Eubacteria, we have an outstanding “kingdom Animalia”. These multicellular species have the record of being the most intelligent life form to ever exist and so they control most of the lesser kingdoms. They basically are all a-n-i-m-a-l-s. Yes, the mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fishes and arthropods. They all are intelligent guys.
As intelligent as all these classes of Kingdom Animalia are, it will interest you to know that from these intelligent life forms exist yet a more renowned intelligent (like most-supreme Intelligence) specie who call themselves “the higher animals — Man.”
Okay! Now that am done refreshing your biological memories (knowing it’s been ages since you last heard any of the above terms). My doctoral position is hereby adjourned till further notice. Now let’s talk about the real deal here — Fake Life.

Higher a-n-i-m-a-l-s indeed.
Ever wondered why animals just stare at you for long and not do anything? They are watching! Watching the supposed higher animal’s attitude and behaviors as well. Some attitude stinks, some are disgusting. So when next you see a dog bark furiously at you, check your attitude again.
Don’t be surprised when on judgement day, the goat and dogs in your environment stands to tell God everything. Books will be opened no doubt but those so called lower animals will add pepper for you.
Mm-meeee mm-Fresh young mmm-rich nigga mm-baba “mm-meeee”
Dear younger generation, work hard now in the days of your strength and stop trying to impress the world with things you can’t afford.
A master of his self esteem, is a master of his ego.
With Great Contentments comes peace of Mind.
Living the fake life is stressing as you have to keep convincing as many a people with lies upon lies that you are there whereas you have not even started. There is no honour in fake lifestyle of living. You start it and you dug a grave already. Some go extreme by engaging in rituals and the likes all for people to say you are rich? Come on!
Live simple, peaceful, satisfied with the little you own now and work more for the goals you have set to achieve yourself.
Remember you are not in any competition with anyone to get rich first. Our time zones are different but with dedication and God on your side, you will live the best life you desire without faking it. Wait for your time and turn. Don’t be pressured but rather be patient.
#nopressurewithpatience
Till I find the strength to write to you again, don’t kill yourself over people’s opinion materially about you. Live life in the most modest, reputable and honorary way.
I remain yours always, Solanke Olamilekan K.
