THE PERSPECTIVE SYNDROME

Empirically, perspective emphasizes on the way an individual perceives situations, events, conditions etc. This individual who uses his perspective as a tool of reasoning would only accept and deduce in line with his own perception either wrong or not so long he is satisfied in his mind’s comfort zone.

People think in a direction which their minds have created, this can either be a rational or irrational way of thought. Some perspectives are weak and some are strong. Weak perspectives deal with less fact and more of assumptions while strong perspectives deal with more facts and less assumptions.

The assumption syndrome as it relates to thinking is a tool that involves an individual using in evaluating or perceiving events, situations, conditions without having any fact or proof. Such persons go ahead making deductions which in the short or long run can affect the environment either positively or negatively. It is advised that deductions from such events, situations, conditions etc should be make from facts. This inability to use facts, strong or positive perspectives, positive assumptions in thinking, evaluation, and appraisal of events, situations, conditions leads to a destructed mind perspective. The resulting way of thought which if becomes persistent, becomes an in built pattern making system of the mind which is the mentality of the individual.

THE DREAM SONG

Soft chirpings, gentle croaking… aye

Timed drop of water from the cloud, and the trees murmured

Thunder struck and lightening brightened the sky.

There laid young and charming lad; Ayanade

Smiling from his sleep, he shook his head severally and beat the mattress over and over creating a rhythm with nature.

Ayanade from the clan of drummers woke up suddenly, smiling and listen to the rhymes from nature.

The chirpings grew stronger, the frogs and toads croaked like an army ready to devour their enemies, the rain drops happened fasted and the trees made their sounds swiftly all creating an iridescent environment for Ayan.

He immediately clanged to his Bata (talking drum), just then he heard the birds singing in melody.

Running outside his father’s hut, feeling the chillness and freshness of the air,

He beat his Bata to rhyme with all he heard; suddenly, he heard footsteps they started with tiptoes, then coming faster he stopped drumming being furious.

A soft and lovely voice sang a native song of the night. Yes it was Olohunorin. Immediately all the maidens joined him, all dressed in theatre attire.  Real song, real beats and real dance steps over filled the earth.

Bang bang bang! Sounded a drum but distant this time.

They were all startled and amazed. Trying to figure out where the sound was from.

Bang bang bang! It sounded continuously this time. Dende the son of Iyaloja screamed.

Village market!

The all ran swiftly and orderly: getting there the sound and rhythm changed. Ayanade smiled knowing that it was his father Ayangalu beating the old Bata, inherited from his fore-fathers.

The maidens entered the squared, dancing.

The beads on their waists made different rhythms while the male youths stormed the earth with different prolific acrobatics.

The chirping, croaking and raindrops, the murmuring of the trees, lightning and thunder, the singing, dancing and drumming all went down gradually.

Just then Ayanade smiled again from his sleeps; a loud crow from a big cock woke him…he exhaled sadly.

It was a cold morning in Murudu.

JOSEPHS’ EROSION PRINCIPLE

The gradual path creation, surface wearing, pattern creation and destruction while water is being transported during a down pour is same with the pattern making system of the mind which either makes the mind superior or inferior in submissions.
Once there is a down pour, the rain drops and build gradually on the spot. Depending on the spot it drops on, either flat or deep it always find a breakaway point. If it drops on a flat surface, the next thing is to eat deep into the soil. As it fills the hole created, the next thing is to create a path to break away, as it creates this path, it continuously chops this path and it widens it gradually. This process continues and leads to a carved out gully.
The sparsely eroding of the face of the earth by a down pour which leads to a type of erosion called Sheet erosion, the thorough eroding of the face of the earth forming deeper water channels which leads to a type of erosion called Fluvial erosion and the eroding of the face of
the earth, passing through the sheet and fluvial water channels created by persistent down pour leading to a widened, destructed and expanded earth pathway called a Gully erosion is
same with the pattern making system of the mind in building a strong and powerful mind power.
This principle establishes the flexibility of the mind as it approaches different issues or events. This relates to the ability of water while moving bends towards paths that favours’ its movement. The mind is a plat form where all sorts of mind tasking issues are brought for synthesis. When these issues are brought, they are highlighted, then they go through a


pathway which favours’ the thinker as a result of the minds pattern making system. It takes it use using a ready made procedure that either makes or mars the outcome.
My principle establishes the similarity and relationship the erosion process with the problem solving and decision making process of the mind. The water erosion process ends at making different earth forms like the gully while the thinking process ends with an outcome either favourable or not, which is dependent of the way the mind is being structured. The two phenomena are inclusive of so many variables which serve as their individual determinants
