Why I Sleep In A Coffin – Charly Boy Explains

Recently Charles Oputa better known as Charly Boy posted another controversial picture online lying down in a coffin. He had intentionally captioned one of the photos; “Charly Boy poses dead inside coffin. I see tomorrow inside my casket.”.
According to online report, he addressed the motive behind the pictures he posted saying it was ideally to preach about cherishing life.
Sleeping in a Coffin? 
Point of correction, I do not sleep in a casket, I sleep on my bed, it’s big and comfy, I only lay in my “casket”when I do my meditation because it helps me to be focused, it tells me more about the Imminence of death. My casket is a reminder. It wakes me up from slumber. It tells me, “guy, you have got little or no time left, wake up, be creative and work”.
Of course, when I read some of the comments of my people, I know a good number of us are ill-informed about quite a number of things. I think it is more of what the casket represents that shocks my people and they start reading meanings into it, depending on their level of understanding. But one question is, what if the same wood that was used to build the casket was used to make a sofa chair? Continue…
May be, all the hullabaloo about me sitting on a chair wouldn’t have been there in the first place? So when people vocalize their disapproval of my message via the image of a casket, I understand that they do that from a position of Fear, fear of what the casket represents – Death. So whatever people fear they antagonize. But, the fact that I have reminded myself and even you about death does not really change a thing.It won’t draw your death near, and it won’t even shift it away. All it does is simply a reminder, to thread carefully.
