Why should Christians imitate Christ? They should do it for their own sakes. If they desire to be in a healthy state of soul--if they would escape the sickness of sin, and enjoy the vigour of growing grace, let Jesus be their model. For their own happiness' sake, if they would drink wine on the lees, well refined; if they would enjoy holy and happy communion with Jesus; if they would be lifted up above the cares and troubles of this world, let them walk even as He walked. There is nothing which can so assist you to walk towards heaven with good speed, as wearing the image of Jesus on your heart to rule all its motions. It is when, by the power of the Holy Spirit, you are enabled to walk with Jesus in His very footsteps, that you are most happy, and most known to be the sons of God.
Thought take from Spurgeon.

As Mervi passes this way, is just a way for Mervi to express his thoughts. Some religious, some political and others just a thought about this thing we call life.

Must disagree with Spurgeon's thought. I am not sure that "imitate Jesus" is the proper wording. When one imitates, they might necessarily be sold on what they are doing but doing it for "show" sake. We must take Jesus inside our being and wear Him in our hearts in order to follow Him. I've seen too many that have imitated and failed, losing out with God.
