Ecclesiastes Chapter 4:8

New Living Translation Ecclesiates 4:8 This is the case of a man who is all alone, without a child or a brother, yet who works hard to gain as much wealth as he can. But then he asks himself, "Who am I working for? Why am I giving up so much pleasure now?" It is all so meaningless and depressing.

Proverbs 27:20 Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so human desire is never satisfied.

The letter I never wrote/ The apology I never offered

Dear DB,

We met over 20 years ago while studying at University of Ibadan. I remember that day very well when a mutual friend of ours BI introduced us in my room in the wooden block section of Queen's hall (This section is now no more). You were such a beauty and one of the very popular babes on campus. I was amazed that day at how very nice you were (I had previously thought otherwise). We chatted for a few minutes and you guys left for BI's room. Before, I continue this note, you need to know that around this time I had started exeprimenting with "not wearing my specs". My mum made me buy a pair of very "uncool" frames and I decided to stop wearing glasses. Unfortunately for me then, this meant I could not see very well.

Back to the story, a few days after our first meeting, I was coming from a lecture and stopped to rest just by the entrance of Queen's hall. As I sat there, I looked sideways and saw someone "not so clearly" afar off. The person seemed to be saying hello to someone beside me (or so I thought because I could not really see from the distance). It was later after you had left that I found out that it was you and that the person beside me did not know you and that in fact you were saying hello to me. I guess you thought I had deliberately snobbed you.  It all happened so fast.

I know as soon as I realised, I should have looked for you and apologised but I was scared of rejection that I didn't. I met you several times after that and you shunned me. Which was understandable, considering what you thought was my previous attempt at snobbing you.

You are very unlikely to read this note and I have never discussed this issue with anyone. However, lately this issue has been on my mind. I do hope that somehow we get to meet again one day and that we are able to talk about this and become good friends. Whatever the case, I paused at this point and said a prayer for you. I pray that God answer that prayer. God bless.
