Nelson Mandela.... Should he live?

I am greeted by the sad news that an icon, a father, a figure of hope, respect, wisdom and all other things and words that show respect and awe is in hospital. It is a sad development.

But if I asked you a question, it would be this. Do you want or for lack of better words wish for Madiba to live?

My answer would be NO. I think he has lived a magnanimous life and has transformed the world and all the people who have met him in one way or another. We should let him rest in peace and let his legacy live on. Even if he left us in the physical he will be with us in the spiritual and through his magnificent contribution to the human race... And ofcourse the statues and pictures and all forms of memorabilia.

No disrespect but even if he lived we would just feel sorry for him because he looks frail and looks like he is struggling. Anyway, these are just my thoughts...

F.T.W

So i had a bad dream... it was simple. I was in a car I have never driven before, a Land Rover 110, yes the old one from that ad many many many many years ago where a guy is stuck in a dam and he uses a winch to put the vehicle out? Yeah.... that sexy add. (Let me youtube it even). Anyway, there i was driving from Makeni and i run over a guy on an Eagle bicycle and the guy got all mangled (what do you expect, I hit him with one of the toughest vehicles ever made) then as I swerved off the road I hit a white Toyota Altezza or as I prefer to call it, The Zambian Ferrari. So anyway I had a bad dream in which I killed about three people. I have had this heavy feeling today and it has really dragged me down. Not looking forward to anything and not even eating (yes and I am always hungry). I have been feeling so angry most of the day and the world around me is not making things any easier by throwing all sorts of pressure at me. I am not saying I crack easily under pressure but we all ha...

My daughter and I

Image
14th october 2013 On this night my daughter and I ate beef sausages with bread and shared one small box of ceres juice, mango flavour. I will not forget this day because this is the day I have gotten tired of being kind, being understanding and being soft. I feel bad because in all my life today I feel the most worthless. Worthless because in the morning my daughter carried plain bread to school. Worthless because due to not having gas I picked up my daughter after 21 hours from her aunt's house. Worthless because with the money I had borrowed we bought a loaf of bread and 2 beef sausages and the ceres juice so that we could eat. Why are we eating such a meager and mediocre meal you may ask?... Its because there is completely no food in the house. Nothing. So. I sit here and ask myself why this is so. From a house that had it all, lots of food, juice and whatever you would want to snack on. Why is this bad run of luck coming my way?...why am I failing in my basic duties as a man,...

E Pluribus Unum

Almost 7 billion people on earth... Think about it. 7 billion. And each of those is as unique as the fingerprints on their palms. 7 billion differences. 7 billion psychos, because I believe we are all potentially crazy, and 7 billion geniuses because I believe we are all potentially brilliant. So, E pluribus Unum, Out of Many, one.... How do we as human beings differentiate one person from the next, form long standing bonds and form antagonistic relationships to the point where people can't be without someone or totally hate each other? E pluribus Unum. There is no equal distribution of love or attention even between a mother and her children, there will always be a favorite, E pluribus Unum. Even the level of hate or loathing between you and your foes is different, some are tolerable some are not. E pluribus unum. So where am I going with this? Wait... I just remembered something. I have no enemies. True. I might dislike some people but I have a big heart and I don'...
