There is a Ghanaian proverb that says being crafty cheats the crafty person. People don’t want to work hard and see the fruits of their labour anymore. They want to reap were they have not sown. Although they may get what they want in terms of money, wealth, and jobs. They lose themselves. What is the point of gaining the whole world and losing your soul. You will always see it with a crooked man or woman. They want to prove themselves, brag about what they did not work to acquire because they have no self-esteem. They know they are frauds and they are always threatened by someone who works for what they have, even if in societal terms they have more, they know that person is better than them. They are defensive because they know they do not have value. Anyone with value works hard for what they have. Anyone with positive self-esteem has integrity and principle and that’s what they stand on for their self-esteem. The bible says do not envy the wicked. We surely must not, because there is no rest for them. Regardless of what they attain they cannot have peace of mind because they know they are not worthy of what they have. It eats them up inside. They may act like it doesn’t bother them, but the devil in their heart that allows them to step without morals over others beats them up daily. It is not a life. Everybody who lives that fraud lifestyle always talks like somebody whose brain is not properly screwed on.
The corruption has made them stupid, so they cannot even think in a linear line because they are crooked. After all, with all their corruption and scheming ways which give them harvest they do not deserve, and karma makes them destroy with their poor character. They do not feed you, so why be jealous. Upon all your hard work you feed yourself without behaving like a snake to eat. Always remember whoever crawls on the ground like a snake will never be a satisfied human.
This is a warning to all who think crookery is the way to success. Be prepared to live a life of hiding, a thief is always hiding. Be prepared to be a compulsive liar, a cheat forever, a hypocrite, an actor, make sure you are cleverer than everyone you try to walk over.Make sure you are stronger than everyone you cheat. Make sure you are better than the other snake competitors and make sure you always have an alibi. Make sure you are ready to be anxious about being exposed.
There is another Ghanaian proverb, too much intelligence is stupidity. See the burdens the corrupt man or woman carry on their heads, while thinking they are looking good and they have cheated the world. It is better to have your little and say this is what I’ve made with my own hands.Than carry heavy burdens on your head that make you lose your mind, your peace and a life where you can feel good about who you are. Where you can actually think you are a somebody. Do not you see corrupt people always want to be more scheming, to do more to feel good, no matter how much they have. Let us work hard for our fortunes. For our own peace of mind. If something is built on a crooked foundation it will never be stable. If you consume riches offered on a dustbin, your tongue will itch after.
