OUR CONFUSION

Our actions, our reactions, our meditations, our thoughts, our race, our efforts, our walks, our words......All these amount into OUR CONFUSION! Birthed out of lack of order and lack of respect for institutions which maintain adherence; and so confusion looms over our society. We are chaotic in every area of our existence. Our morals are tainted, blurred, ugly. We walk chaotically, we speak loudly, we embrace the law breakers, we uphold societal degradation. We abandon our cultural values and embrace the western discards. We question the existence of laws and break them without a blink! And so our social progress stalls and we still ask why.......
                            Why we are battling with high mortality rate, high HIV infection,food insecurity, illegal groups, unemployment, poor infrastructure, poor medical services, IDP's 4 years down the line.....  The implementation process is at a standstill, why ?.. the CIC is blaming the Mp' s and the Mp's cannot agree....The oil is not spilling over or being misappropriated, rather " players" in the oil sector have disputes with the government... The prices of commodities escalate and the rate of crime is on the increase!

Why ? we ask... The graduates cannot implement what they studied, the poor bright kids cannot study to their satisfaction, the credibility of exams results is always in question.... ...Kenyans in Turkana can be attacked and killed by foreigners and the fellow countrymen go on with business as usual.... Couples are butchering each other  as their vows cannot hold the pressure...Kids are paying the price by having to be orphans and getting exposed to the cruel realities, at a very young age...Confusion looms!

                              As you read this, dissect your lifestyle, criticize your living, apply moderation, impact your niche, help change "WE"...

 

 

 

“Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty and dies with chaos” 

- Will Durant (American Writer and Historian)

  2. I can't agree less with this masterpiece..you have enumerated the ills and pervasiveness that has invaded our society. We seem to have lost it all in the name of civilization yet in the process we gave up our identity and heritage; our beliefs and values are all gone.

    As africans we have thrived in our togetherness and sense of brotherhood, family and community unities. Nowadays its me, I and myself syndrome, we are nolonger keepers of our brothers/sisters etc.
    The ultimate price to pay is selfishness from ourselves, our leaders, elders and even family rivalries....butchering one another like animals.
    We must re-look at ourselves from within, we must bring back our pride, we must rebuild our values, we must proclaim our true identity.
    It starts with me....who is joining me on this long journey to re-awakening our identity as a nation and a people with common cause and destiny?

  3. Well articulated concerns in our country and the world at large.

    One problem with us is that we keep pointing fingers. We blame the government, the media, modernity, the last days, name it, except ourselves... Why don't you and I choose to stand up and be counted. And make a difference in our own personal lives first, then our families, friends, countrymen and the world at large? Why don't you and I stop to think about the impact of our actions on the people around us? Why don't we impact our families first before we can conceive the idea of conquering the world? Why are we so selfish? And when will we stop asking "why" and start asking "how we can make the world a better place?

    It boils down to selfishness and complacency!

    Bishop T. D. Jakes said: "If you were in anything and never wanted to quit it--you were not in much." Until we reach that point of irreducible minimum and our hearts are passionate for change and we are in anguish about the state of affairs, then am afraid this is just a tip of the ice bag ....
