Except for ants, humans are the only animals that think of their past, work for their presence, and save for their future. And it was this unique ability that differentiate us from our other closet brothers. Yet, it's the abuse of this ability that seemed to be threatening our well-being. Because our desire is huge and our wants are unlimited, we allow our ambition to get the best of us, damned all consequences, and embarked on a mission that is destroying ourselves and our home. We will always remain a slave to our desire! One of the greatest errors that I have seen among humanity, is our classification of success based on material possession. The more you have, the more the world will worship and respect you. And this is the reason for the get-rich syndrome that had thrown the whole world into turmoil. Terrorism, War, robbery, murder, and every form of evil in the world today are a result of someone's desire for more power and money. And the world is dying to feed some people's

Money makes the world go round, and with it, you can do anything. Perhaps this was the reason why a wise man once observed that the love of money is the root of all evil.Sitting inside Johji Inn, was a young man that was dressed in a brown suit, and a cowboy cap. And his face was hidden by a large eyeglass that makes him look like a frog. He stretched his hand forward, picked a bottle of half-empty liquor, raised it towards his mouth, and gulped it down thrice. His eyes became redder, as the liquid travelled through his veins, and he yawned and let out. "This is a strong drink, and it's making me tipsy." A moment later, a young man with a briefcase walked inside, saw the man with a cowboy cap, walked toward him, and then asked, as he sat in his front. "To catch a monkey?" "You must act like a monkey," the man replied with a fixed stare. The man handover the bag in his hand to his host, he chuckled and asked. "Now tell me the details?" "My agent promise to deliver your subjec

The cloud soon chased the twilight away, and another torrent of water fell from the sky.Though rain poured in volume, and the men were all dripping from head to feet with water. Yet, they stepped noiselessly for a while, arrived at a bridge, then halted and whispered among themselves. "Ten men should hide along this way, while the rest should follow me to the other side of the bridge," the man in the front, who was their leader, announced in a whisper. "Please tell me the plan one more time," a voice belonging to a young man let out. "You are too dull, how many times am I supposed to explain this to you." "So sorry, I'm always forgetful whenever am tensed." The team leader face another man and asked. "Are you sure about this man, I don't want a coward in my team?" "He thought it is easy to make it in the underworld!" "You can go back with your figurative tail between your buttocks!" "Shh, I will explain for the last time," the team leader announced, paused, and then resumed hi

Because of the failed assassination attempt, the security of El Ramon's palace had suddenly become tight, and all incomers and outgoing visitors were checked diligently before passing the big black gate. Hours later, hundreds of mafias that were previously working with El Capone gathered in front of El Ramon's palace, and prince El Ramon's right-hand man was seen addressing them."You are all welcome into our camp. You will be employed, as long as you are ready to swear your allegiance to prince El Ramon." "We are ready!" The men in his front answer back with one voice. "In that case, I will invite him to perform the rite by himself," he announced, veered at a guard in black uniform, and whispered into his ear. "Okay, boss," the guard answered back, grinned, and quickly raced toward the inside of the palace. "What about some of us that were senior staff with prince El Capone before his death?" "You will all be employed on the same grade and level. It's now left for you to prove y

Death, they say is inevitable. All humans must face this end.To some, it's the end. While to others, it's the beginning of another journey. The formal belief there is no more hope for the dead. While the latter argue that death and life are the same. We live to die and die to live again. Whatever we decided to believe or disbelieve, we will all know when we reach the other side.Yet one of the greatest fooleries among humans is our endless wants, knowing we all have but few years to live.Little wonder one of the wisest men that ever walked the surface of the earth opined that.'I will eat, drink and spend my time with the woman that my heart desires. I will not be too righteous, so I can live longer. Not be too foolish, so I can avoid unnecessary death. But I will enjoy myself while am young before old age arrives, and death sneaked on me.' Today is the final rite of prince El Capone, and the mafia king's palace was filled to the brim with uniformed men and colourfully dressed inh
