You Are Loved, in Life and in Death -Arsene Wenger

By Isaiah Omaka

You’re loved when you’re born. You’re loved when you die. In between you have to manage… Arsene Wenger

All the talk about people not showing up for you when you’re alive and throwing a big party for you when you die is beginning to bore me. I really cannot understand how generation after generation, people complain about the same phenomenon or concept that does not seem to be going anywhere.

It has been a constant for generations, regardless of time, so it’s high time we all got over it. Just like the certainty of birth and death, so there’s a certainty that you’ll be celebrated at birth and celebrated at death and whatever happens in between nobody cares.

So take out time in-between your life’s struggles to celebrate yourself. Have those moments of retrospection and appreciate yourself for the things you’ve accomplished and scold yourself in areas you did not do well enough.

There is something called building castles in the air, thus the expression castle in the air. So imagine, dream, aim, speculate, count your eggs before it hatches. Vivid imagination, vivid imagination; but it’s in those moments of vivid imagination that we’re happiest. It’s ironic that when telling stories of our struggles we don’t tell what we did when we achieved what we achieved, we tell stories of all we did and what we did to get there.

The Bible did not record all the Israelites did when they got to the promised land, it’s what they did and all they went through to get there. If the Bible, the greatest book that ever existed did this, who am I ?

So if you’ll listen to my story, listen to my counting of eggs before they hatch. My moments of vivid imagination.
