By Dr Paul Bundi Human beings are endowed with remarkable resilience, which can only be broken when they choose to give up. Says Viktor Frankl in his seminal book, Man's Search for Meaning; ''it is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future-sub specie aeternitatis. And this is his salvation in thd most difficult moments of his existence, although he sometimes has to force his mind to the task.'' Man's life is primarily driven by the desire for future, the unshakable belief that the future holds promise. We invariably cease to live when we think we have hit a dead end, or that there's nothing more to be had by living. Theoretically, there is no limit to man's achievement, and that is what drives men to wake up and strive day after day. The opposite is spiritual, psychological death, which manifests way ahead of physical death. Lesson? Losing today doesn't mean losing always. You can lose 10 times and win the 11th time. Or, you
When Uhuru accepted the offer for dialogue, he was telling his deputy that he (Uhuru) has the last word, and can over-rule his deputy anytime. But, when he said there shall be no 'Nusu Mkate', his target was not R.H. Raila Odinga, or the CORD Coalition. . . His target was actually the URP Brigade. The latter have been yapping about being short-changed on state appts, yet they had a pre-election 50-50 agreement. The president was telling them, to their faces, that ''hakuna nusu mkate hapa. What i say goes''. Uhuru knew perfectly well that most of us would conclude he was referring to R.H. Raila Odinga and the CORD Brigade..... Uhuru executed a cool professional foul on URP, but many of us think he was referring to CORD. The man managed to hit 3 birds with one stone!!! Any right-thinking analyst knows that there is no provision in the new constitution for a Coalition arrangement. So, why would CORD expect to be assimilated into govt? Under what circumstances would that even be possible??? Furthermore, CORD has not even imagined it! Who wants to be part of a sinking ship??! All we want is DIALOGUE, for the sake of the great pple of Kenya. There's no space or remote possibility of a Coalition arrangement! . . . You need to get into that man's head, in order to understand his every move. . . . Uhuru is too sharp for pple like Ruto.. Ruto, in his eternal stupidity, still has no clue that both remarks were targeted at him and his party. . . .
