THE SMART ALEC, MY FRIEND/ OMINOUS ALEC
Two little African girls were walking on a road one day. One was five, the other was three. They were so glad having been taught Plurals in their ENGLISH LANGUAGE CLASS, and were applying the knowledge. The three year old asked the five year old: "What is the plural of fish?" She replied "Animal." Then she asked again: "What is the plural of Car?" She replied: "Motor". Then, as they were moving ahead, a truck was passing by on which was written "GOODS". The five year old then asked the three year old: "Okay, you, what is the plural of GOODS?" She said "BADS".
Do you know why, frankly, I love Alec's? Probably, because it's their time, an they've to express it. A King (in the days of telegrams) knew there would be war in a nearby village ruled by some other King friend of his and had been hinted. The distance was so far, and he was not disposed to go meet him as he was obviously too busy. So, he sent his errands man. The man walked thirty miles, sometimes running and crying, just to meet up with time, as there were no camels, horses, or other means of transportation. Sadly, when he got there, he explained to the King's attendant, Bokiwe, that he was sent by King Urgins to see King Sobomimor as a matter of urgency. But they wouldn't let him. He had to explain seriously that he had an urgent message for the King, but he was kept on queue. After waiting again for what seemed an hour, the guard, Bokiwe, finally was convinced that he had "some what to say", then hinted the King, Sobomimor, who asked him to wait again and never attended to him for the next five hours, while attending to frivolous, useless, irrelevant, jolly guests and cases. The messenger was still waiting. Four hours into the wait, the war started and he was taken completely unawares and defeated.
You know why I love Alec's? In case you're tired of this life, you don't own this world, so let some other person speak up without spiting them. The person whom you shut up can save your future or hold your deliverance. Have you ever found a child fling her fingers at every question you ask in class as a teacher, ready to give an answer? Sometimes even forgotting what they had in mind to convey? The child is not a "show man or woman" as some erroneously perceive and must be allowed to say, exaustively, all they have to say. Chances should also be given to any other child willing to say something. And you must be patient to listen. THE ALEC IS ALWAYS ATTEMPTING TO SAY SOMETHING HIGHLY INVALUABLE, BUT YOU HAVE NOT HEARD ONE BEFORE. ANYBODY THAT STOPS SUCH A CHILD FROM EXPRESSING THEMSELVES EXHAUSTIVELY, IS PREVENTING SOME GOODNESS ON DELIVERY, IS NOT A TEACHER, IS GUILTY OF OPPOSING OR STANDING IN THE WAY OF "ACADEMIC FAIR HEARING", AND MUST GO LEARN SOME MORE PATIENCE SOMEWHERE!
Why are Alec's always flinging their hands? They have something obviously TOO IMPORTANT TO SAY. JUST LISTEN. DON'T SHUN THEM. IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE.
No human being, from babyhood to adulthood dare ever try to say something when they had a blank mind or had just nothing to say. IT IS A PSYCHOLOGICAL TRICK OR INDICATOR. WISE PEOPLE WOULD OFFER THE PERSON THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY WHATEVER THEY HAVE TO SAY, WITHOUT LABELLING, HINDERING, OBSTRUCTING, INTIMIDATING OR IGNORING, THEN DOCUMENT EVERYTHING THEY SAID, NO MATTER HOW SEEMINGLY STUPID THEY APPEARED. The Alec is a high Supra natural person, receives NOXEPOLAR (or unlearnt information) regularly and frequently, and must be allowed to say all of them. It might be shocking that nothing they have to say is stupid, but are always urgent information, which makes them press so much on delivery, and they are never "SOOTH SAYERS" OR SWEET TALKERS OR MEN PLEASERS. The problem of the so called "Alec" is how to deliver a bulk of information, and yet they have not found a place in humanity up till now to do so. You would always find the Alec raising their hand, at times when no or few other pupils or students do. Let the Alec talk alongside all others while being patient, then you would be amazed at what they say. Offloading all the information log on them, could ease the mind of a compression of a pile of them and naturally reduce the so called "Alec syndrome" which is actually an advantage. If you had a person who could give you valuable information regularly on the go, would you despise them? An "Alec" is an embodiment of this type of a personality in the crude form and must be harnessed by allowing them speak what's on their mind. This way, THIS GIFT WILL BE REFINED. It is never a dysfunctionality. After all, as you may notice, Alec's don't speak all the time, except in class or when a question is raised, an expression of Super Ingenuity. "KILL ALEC" SYNDROME IS TO PREVENT THE INDIVIDUAL OR CHILD FROM SAYING WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY, PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU ARE TIRED, ARE IMPATIENT, CONSIDER THEM OBFUSCATING , INTRUDERS, PROUD, IRRELEVANT, IRRATIONAL, OR A NUISANCE. GOOD TEACHERS LIKE ARISTOTLE WERE NOT THIS WAY BUT HAD LISTENING EARS AND EVALUATING HEART, AND WERE ALWAYS READY TO HEAR WHAT WAS SAID. I was in a health facility some time ago, and a boy of just about fourteen, who was said to have a new illness diagnosed as GRAND FATHER SICKNESS was too difficult to control. He could walk to adults and warn them, spend more time in toilets alone, and was said to be threatening girls (not attempting to rape) before being brought there. After spending a considerable time there, God told me he was now Okay and would leave soon. A wizard doctor walked in that day and sat by him to listen to all the "irrational" things he had to say, and I was opportuned to listen. Nothing he said made sense. We could only hear jumbles or incoherent "farmagabbles": "SO, THEY DID THIS TO ME? WOE BETIDE THEM!" I dropped some tears (The doctor wouldn't even blink). Was he communicating senseful information found in a senseless ethereal or ETHERALL region where his mind was stuck? Obviously! The Alec has something - something very important to say: don't stop that flow! Labelling is an off handed destructive tool of proud, impatient and lazy people who rather see others as such, and is inconsistent with their good and that of others. What was Charlox saying? Obviously, nothing in the ears of others. But it took two people, one of whom never went to a psychological school to do the understanding and deciphering just by being patient, not condemning, but offering him ALL THE CHANCES to say ALL THE SO CALLED IRRELEVANT THINGS HE HAD TO SAY. IF YOU'RE STOPPING THE ALEC, YOU'RE STOPIING YOURSELF, BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONE MISSING THE MESSAGE, WHILE IGNORANTLY CLAIMING TO BE BETTER.
A great scientist known the world over had something pertinent to say about his kid days. His would be called "DUMB STAY", QUITE IN CONTRAST TO THE SO CALLED "ALEC'S". IT INVOLVED EVERY CHILD IN THE CLASS SAYING SOMETHING, WHILE TELLING HIM "UP? SIT DOWN!" IT TOOK AN INVALUABLE TEACHER TO SAVE HIS LIFE BY GRANTING HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION WAS "OBSIDAN!" WHO WERE THESE CHILDREN? AND THOSE OTHER TEACHERS PREVENTING HIM FROM SPEAKING WHILE HINDERING A BRIGHT DESTINY BY LABELING HIM A "DUMMY"? TEACHERS MUST OF NECESSITY BE TAUGHT A "PATIENCE COURSE" WITH A PATIENCE DRILL, OR THEY ARE WORSE THAN ABORTIONISTS: ABORTIONISTS OF DESTINIES. Do you know why I know? I wasn't an Alec. Probably, you would have called me an Ominous Alec. I could have all the information to save your life, if only you could listen, yet never say a word. Those that knew always saved their lives.
