WHAT I WILL DO IF I WERE'NT AFRAID

WHAT I WILL DO IF I WEREN'T AFRAID

Without much ado, for someone to be afraid is to be frightened because you think that you will be hurt or suffer. It also means to be worried about something unpleasant that might happen.

        In nature, I am a person of velour and great courage. I am not given to fear unless when it comes to ancestral and traditional spiritual theories.

        For example, there is a jungle in my village and inside that jungle there is a very big black stone situated in front of a very mighty shrine, which have existed for generation. But what is interesting about the jungle is about the black stone; histories have it that it felled from the sky (moon to be precise) and thus the god of thunder released it. To me all these are mere illusions and cannot be proved or placated on any scientific theory.

        But what shocks me dawn to the marrow is what the black stone does: In the night especially in the dry seasons when the moon is full (full moon). The black stone will start growing light, at a point it will be so bright that it can nearly illuminate the whole jungle. The stone is normally placed on a tower like structure in front of the shrine in other to expose it to moon rays.

        If not because of fear, I would have device a means on how to cater away with the electric stone then take it to where it will be studied because from my own perception, it works with the moons gravitational pull. Who knows, it might form the bedrock of another form of technology which no man have ever dreamed about.
