A Tale of One 'Sity

Farafina called me and told they wanted a write-up from me for a special they are doing on their blog. The theme was about my time in the university. I had a day to submit it. Wow, talk about a couple of bricks landing smack on the top of my head. I started writing a letter to decline their offer.... After typing the letter on my hand-held, I was about to press the "send" button, when I hesitated and remembered the words of the best man I know.... My dearest be-loved patient, long-suffering, drama absorbing, tolerant, love-of-my-head-and-heart and one of the MOST brilliant and philosophical men I know: Chidi. The stylish MAN who pushes me mentally and constantly challenges my C.Q. (Cerebral Quotient). His words were: "Always take two seconds to think be-fore taking any action, especially YOU, Omo".

The Atom of Self

I Am (the atoms of) I There is nothing new under the sun. I exist in a physical plane. I am not some kind of immeasurable mystic field. Am I the atoms that make up my mind or am I the arrangement of these atoms? Well, I conclude that I am the particular atoms themselves because if I was simply an arrangement like a software; then hypothetically I could be duplicated. This is not feasible, as it would lead to a paradox. “I” cannot exist in two places, there could be a precise copy… but, that would not be me, it would be an identical but discreet “I. Therefore I must conclude that I must be the atoms themselves – my Personality, my Memory, my Intellect.
