Today, we bring a mini compendium of his famous nuggets, he puts this as sum of all his teachings.
Same unique venue, Temple of Astutes, the young, old and council members were gathered to discuss affairs of the province. Eon in his usual regalia sat beside the king.
The topic for the day was :WISDOM FOR HEALTHY LIVING. The first speaker was a foreigner, who said "the best wisdom for healthy living was to Iive as the gods have willed", everyone nodded in acceptance till a young lad rose and asked "how do we know what the gods have willed?".
This prompted an uproar, as the crowd was thrown into confusion. A lot of citizens rose to speak but this only amounted to more questions been raised from their replies. As the arguement heated up.
With much hesitation, Eonn decided to wade in, as soon as he rose, the hall was thrown into silence, to hear the words that would proceed from the mouth of the erudite scholar. He bagan by observing protocol and then, "good and wise citizens of the almagamated province, to say the least, this discussion is apt". As our young ones have gone astray from the right path to success and a truly happy life. But I am glad that a lot of questions have been asked, because truly, wisdom comes from in the asking of questions, for from questions answers do rise, and as we have seen today, from answers too more questions arise. I speak not because I'm the wisest or richest, but for the fact that I have been on both side of the divide 'sweet and sour', and my life draws to a close and hence must share my wealth of experience and ordeals. I sum up life in in thirty master pieces and that I will share.
I have written thirty nuggets of knowledge and good advice for those who will hearken, and will teach you what the truth is, so when you seek you shall find the answers.
1.
Don't take advantage of the poor just because you can, don't take advantage of those who stand helpless in court, the lord will argue their case for them and threaten the life of anyone who threaten theirs
2.
Don't make friends with people who have hot violent tempers. You might learn their habits and not be able to change
3.
Don't promise to be responsible for someone's else debt, if you should be unable to pay, they will take away your bed
4.
Never move an old boundary mark that your ancestors established
5.
Show me someone who does a good job and I will show you someone who is better than most and worthy of the company of kings
6.
When you sit down to eat with someone important, keep in mind who he is, if you have a big appetite restrain yourself, don't be greedy for the fine food he serves, he maybe trying to trick you.
7.
Be wise enough not to wear yourself out trying to get rich. Your money can be gone in a flash, as if it had grown wings and flown away like an eagle
8.
Don't eat at the table of a stingy person or be greedy for the fine food he serves "come and have some more" he says, but he deosnt mean it. What he thinks is what he really is, you will vomit up what have eaten and all your flattery will be wasted
9.
Don't try to talk sense to a fool, he can't appreciate it
10.
Never move an old boundary mark or take over land owned by orphans, the lord is their powrful defender and he will argue their case against you.
What wonderful words of wisdom, the remaining list would come in our next episode for sake of time and space (sorry we had to end abruptly). See you in the next episode.
PRECIOUS OMOBUDE
