Good Intentions Are Not Always Good Outcomes: A Lesson on Avoiding Unintentional Harm.

There are three aspects of our existence I want to draw your attention to: behaviour, identity, and intention. Many times, we are unaware of how our well-intended actions negatively affect others. We may mean well, but our behaviour can still cause harm if it does not align with the needs or expectations of the personContinue reading “Good Intentions Are Not Always Good Outcomes: A Lesson on Avoiding Unintentional Harm.”

The fowl response pattern.

There is a pattern I call the fowl response pattern. Whenever a kite snatches a chick from its mother, the hen cries, jumps around, and screams for help. After all the noise, she simply returns to the remaining chicks, almost as if she is waiting for the next attack. The kite does not treat theContinue reading “The fowl response pattern.”

Our Disunity Is Their Weapon and Strength

Three brothers fell in love with one beautiful girl. None of them was willing to step aside for the others; each wanted to marry her. The girl, on the other hand, was just as confused as the brothers. She could not choose one over the others because each of them played a unique role inContinue reading “Our Disunity Is Their Weapon and Strength”

Beware of false praises.

I want to discuss something that is gradually becoming part of our culture and, somehow, we are normalising it. Have you noticed that when a woman is single, she often receives far less attention from men than when she is married? Once a woman gets married, even when it is obvious that she is pregnant,Continue reading “Beware of false praises.”

In Time to Come

When I reflect on how we are moving as a people, accepting new ideas, cultures, and modernization without critical evaluation, I become deeply concerned. In many advanced nations, care homes are very common. They were originally created for elderly people or those facing mental health challenges. However, over time, what was meant to support familiesContinue reading “In Time to Come”

Who Will Cry When You Die?

The fall of a yellow leaf is a warning to the green ones. Truth is always in plain sight, yet many people remain unaware of it. Over time, we have seen and heard of people we know passing on to the next life. Somehow, the cause of their death often gives people a strange senseContinue reading “Who Will Cry When You Die?”

THE FAMILY VALUES WE MUST NOT LOSE

There is no person more dangerous than someone who expects to live a life they were unable to build for themselves. Such people expect others to meet standards they themselves could not meet. Once you are in the same space with them, you begin to notice a mindset driven by grandiosity and distorted perceptions, oftenContinue reading “THE FAMILY VALUES WE MUST NOT LOSE”

Freedom, Values, and Self-Accountability

Which is more important: being free to do whatever you want, or being guided to choose your needs over your wants? Any wise person would choose to live intentionally and be guided by principles and values. Today, conversations about relationships have become dominant across many social media platforms. Unfortunately, much of the discussion is centeredContinue reading “Freedom, Values, and Self-Accountability”

Chiโ€™s Crossroads

The sun beat down on the earth with scorching intensity, so much so that even the fans blew hot air. People gathered on their balconies in search of fresh air, hoping for some relief as the water they had poured on their bodies slowly evaporated. Everyone felt the heatโ€”except Chika. Chika sat in her bedroom,Continue reading “Chiโ€™s Crossroads”

Mmadu ka ana-aya ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–

I often wonder how things like land, houses, water, electricity, and food became commercialised ๐ŸŒธ. In a world where everyone is a citizen, some people enjoy far more than others ๐Ÿ’–. You might say some people work harder than others; however, evidence has shown that itโ€™s not simply about hard work alone ๐ŸŒผ. The narrativeContinue reading “Mmadu ka ana-aya ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–”
