My Honest Take.

almost 2 years ago

Oh...the Pub questions are here again and this time around with some amazing thought-provoking ones. As I said, anyone is welcome to participate in this and you can tag me if you wish as well so I can read your answers. What happens in the Pub is about baring it out and showing us your thought process too. I love answering these questions and I hope you do too.

Which would you like to keep as a pet? Dogs or cats?

I would go with dogs. I had a lot while growing up and I can still remember their names: Major, Snowball, Tiger, Rex and Cherry. I've always loved dogs. While growing up and especially here in Nigeria, cats are frowned at. We used to see them as fetish and witches use them to infiltrate humans but that's not true and I got to know this as I grew older but I've fallen in love with dogs way before now and there is no way I can change that again now. Blame Nigeria for my dislike for cats before now hahaha...but I like them now...how fluffy and how cuddly they can be. I've seen a lot of cat lovers and I fall in love just watching them from afar because they are also very adorable. I wish we didn't stereotype cats before now, maybe I would have been able to have one before now.

The long term goal is to still have more dogs. When I finally have a house of my house, I can raise as many as I want, let them play around the house and train them. I really love dogs and it's always refreshing to me to have them around.

Do you think technology has done good to mankind or worse?

I would say it's 50-50. For every good thing, we have the bad. The bad one is basically due to the human effect because we turn it into what it's not supposed to be. Technology was designed to make our lives easier and there have been remarkable improvements over the years. It has done great for mankind but on the flip side too, it has deprived us of the ability to think and it has made us too lazy to some extent. It's a 50-50 for me.

There is nothing good without the downsides. It's all about management...it's all about doing the best and not allow the negatives to override the good. Technology on its own is good but with human factor that would use it for what they shouldn't, it's subject to abuse. When the value of a thing is not fully known, abuse is inevitable. I believe the human factor made the bad sides to technology amplified but it was originally designed to make life easier.

Who do you think serves the country most – A Teacher or a Soldier?

Ah! This one is hard. I have nothing against the two professions. Teachers prepare us and shape our lives. They mould lives into what those lives can be and the military defends the nation. If there is chaos, there won't be the room to teach neither would those lives the teachers have moulded bring forth anything good because there is no guarantee for safety. Oh boy...this is tough but to answer this, let me say the Soldiers. They give up their lives, their families, and their comfort so we can all dream and make an impact.

I would love to know your answers to these questions too, either in a separate post or in the comment section as well. It's always a way of speaking our minds and having fun. Our views are shaped by our exposures so I don't think there is a right or wrong answer.

This is a tough one because both play such an important role in making life easier, helping and protecting lives. Teachers protects lives from turning bad while feeding our ignorance. Soldiers protect our lives from those who want to snatch it from it. It's a tough pick I have to admit.
