Closed hands cannot receive gifts, just as closed hearts cannot receive love.

It is true that closed hands cannot receive gifts, just as closed hearts cannot receive love. But sometimes those hands & hearts are deliberately closed to shut out foes & love-predators. First off, foes bring many gifts. Now, does that suppose that only foes are disposed to bringing gifts? Definitely not. For one, the best gift-givers in history can be said to have been the shepherds who gifted baby-Jesus with Gold, Myrrh, & Frankincense in the first Christmas Season ever. As is known, Christmas is a season of giving & receiving gifts, & it would be outrageous to suppose that gifts exchanged during Christmas & other gift-giving/non gift-giving seasons are the exclusive handiwork of foes, especially when those gifts are from vetted friends, family members, & loved ones.

But there's a contrast to it: foes, too, are known to bring gifts. As a matter of fact, foes bring many gifts. If the shepherds' gifts, who were more like friends of Jesus, were to serve as means of expressing their feeling of profound love & admiration towards Jesus, then guess what purpose the gifts of foes would be intended to accomplish in the lives of recipients! For that reason, persons who've been plagued by the undoing that stems from foes' gifts—paranoiacally close their hands to such gifts.

But then, looking on the bright side, being presented gifts by foes could be a good thing. For one, foes motivate us, focus our beliefs, & propel us to stand our grounds. Therefore, while it may not be a commendable line of action to shut out all gift-givers by closing our hands to their gifts—since it cannot be readily ascertained which of them could be friend or foe—hence concluding on them all as foes, the truth remains that, considering all as foes, we gain the motivation to focus our beliefs while firmly standing our grounds—in hope that actual foes...& even players—stand no chance of having their way with us...which brings us to why persons close their hearts to love. Love is said to be a beautiful thing, & falling in love really comes in handy for young people.

But naively opening up one's heart to love could become an avenue for the silly seducing games of players who suffer from the greatest poverty of sense, & those games could end in tears for those who naively open up their hearts to love. So persons close their hearts to love to keep players from gaining the satisfaction that stems from recording conquests from such games, as there's nothing to be gained from trying to seduce persons who are closed to you, thus neither providing the pleasure nor chase that would rock the boats of players who are nothing but emotional predators: individuals who manipulate & exploit others' emotions for their own benefit. The very sad part is that these players can be anyone...ranging from toxic friends or partners to manipulative bosses or colleagues, etc. Are you beginning to see why persons close their hands & hearts to gifts & love? It doesn't end there.

Love is known to sway emotions...even blowing the feelings that come with such emotional sways out of proportion, making one entertain mental images that make the imagination to run wild because—images are an extremely effective shortcut that bypasses the head, bypasses resistance, & aims straight for the heart. Overwhelming the eyes, they create powerful associations, bringing people together & stirring conflicting emotions such as is loved by players because it aids their perpetration of havoc—since the person caught up in such conflicting emotions is so easily distracted & toyed with. To prevent such from constituting their experience, persons close their hearts to love in order to keep a manner of clear-headedness that makes them pay less attention to immaterial voices & nudges while putting their minds on material consciousness & tangible interactions because, just as it is hard to toy with persons who are happy, it is hard to toy with persons who would not, on account of love, lend their imaginations to mental images that sway emotions & blow feelings out of proportion. Lastly—is the issue of witchcraft.

Gifts given by bewitched foes are very likely bewitched to achieve one wicked aim or the other. There are many testaments to this. As it has to do with love in the context of witchcraft, consider this dreadful pondering of fortunate bachelors who barely escaped intimate bonding with bewitched women:

"so it's women who've been bewitched that are trying to also get us bewitched? Now we understand the manner of pressure Eve deployed to lure Adam into eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good & evil because we've experienced it. So when the serpent asked Eve if God indeed said they shouldn't eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he was actually asking her if God said they should refrain from getting bewitched? And Eve affirmed that God indeed told them not to eat from a tree that's bewitched? In this day and age, wouldn't that verdict be understood to mean that God admonished them to have no involvements in bewitched endeavors? Which, in relationship context, would imply not having romantic ties with bewitched persons?"

So I ask again: are you beginning to see why persons close their hands & hearts to gifts & love? When persons close their hands & hearts to gifts & love, it's not necessarily because they aren't disposed to receiving such gifts & love. There could be reasons. As our Naija people often say: "ee get why." So my people, if person no gree collect another person gift or allow another person love am, ee fit get why. No loud am! The gift & the love fit be liability. What do I mean by that? As it has to do with gift, the gift might be a liability. When it comes to love, the lover might be the liability. But then, the saying that "one man's meat is another man's poison" could be applicable in cases like that...in the sense that "one man's liability could be another man's asset."

Ee never tey wey we don dey hear say stone wey builders reject dey turn chief cornerstone? Abi no be so Jephthah stepbrothers & some yeye elders tek pursue the boy comot him papa house because of say him mama bin be runs babe? As him mama bin be runs babe so, dem just regard the boy as tail...as nothing. But much later, no be those same yeye elders go beg am to come be their boss just because say the boy bin don go dey jungle metamorphose to "Mr. Capacity?" Una we be Christians know the matter nah. Una fit help explain give Muslims & all those other people of those other religions. So, as another person reject gift or love because of say na liability to am, mek you sef use your koro-koro eye tek look the gift or the love wella. Ee fit be asset for you. If you look am & ee be liability, leave am! But if ee be asset nkor? Who no go like get asset?
