Today at a burial, I overheard a man in-between spoonfuls of firewood Jollof rice and beef say: "one day, it'll be because of us that people are eating like this." I was a bit confused because he just continued fighting with his meat after uttering such a profound statement.

In relationships, you need to learn how to compartmentalize. For example, pausing a "fight/argument" to extend empathy to your partner in a totally unrelated aspect [work struggle?]. And after ensuring they are okay, resuming scheduled programming because elemi lo ma last.

Anything/Anyone *can be interesting* as long as you're interested. The fundamental problem — and I say this without malice — is that you're not *curious* enough about them. The downstream effect is that you limit yourself in how you engage, resulting in a skill issue.

The reason why Nigerians are scared of atheists/agnostics/ irreligious people is that they can't comprehend why a person can be good when they have no religion/religious text telling them to be so. It scares them to know that some people are good simply because they want to be.

It's so easy to become unkind. This year I learned that unkindness is a spectrum — it's not enough to not insult people/call them names. Sometimes, it's as little as repeatedly asking "difficult" questions while failing to see that your friend is struggling to keep up.
