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
Raila owns a gas company that supplies gas to Heritage hotels owned by Uhuru Kenyatta. Then Raila takes the CORD meeting to Great Rift Valley Lodge which is owned by Uhuru Kenyatta. Raila and Uhuru refer to each other as brothers. Raila wants dialogue with Uhuru Kenyatta and Uhuru invites Raila for tea. In all circumstances, when Raila and Uhuru meet, they always shake hands and smile to each other. They don't fight. Now, Uhuru opposes Raila's rallies nd sends a great number of security officers to ensure all is well in those meeting. Raila cannot be touched because he is guarded by government police force. When the big people are busy doing business stealing away what our sweat has brought, some fool is busy abusing and hurting his or her fellow poor citizen in the name of tribalism. I wish our poverty at grassroots level would bring us closer to each other to make us work against the rich selfish and acquire some of their wealth. So, don't tell me Luos, Kikuyus, Kambas, Kalenjins, Luhyas, Merus, etc. Everyone is struggling to make ends meet. Merus are crying, Luhyas are mourning, Luos are wailing, Kikuyus are weeping, Kalenjins are grieved and others are complaining sadly for the poor state of the economy. We all in the same boat and if it sinks.... We either perish together or survive together. Agree/Disagree???.... thank me later!
