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
It seems the entire Royal Media Service, under the ownership of Dr. SK Macharia, has waged war against former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and his Luo nation. Barely a week after Citizen TV’s Julie Gichuru insulted the leadership of Luo Nyanza, led by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, of foolishly concentrating on the referendum while abandoning Luos to languish in abject poverty and diseases, another one has also come out to condemn the poor people of Nyanza. Speaking in his popular satirical programme, Yaliyotendeka, on Citizen Radio, controversial presenter, Waweru Mburu, insulted Luos badly for heckling and stoning President Uhuru Kenyatta in Migori, saying the people of Nyanza are stupid and useless enough to allow themselves to be used like tissue paper by Raila Odinga and politicians. He noted that Monday’s incident showed how unreasonable and uncivilized Luo people are and gave Raila Odinga a permanent political scar that he will never shed off for the rest of his remaining short life. Waweru, who also co-hosts Cheche programme on Citizen TV, wondered why Luo hooligans had to wait when Uhuru was in Nyanza to show their wooden stupidity and hatred for Governor Okoth Obado, saying such acts combined with small thinking minds is what has made them lag behind in terms of development. “If you hate your tribesman, Obado, why wait when Uhuru is there to heckle him - you should have stayed at home instead of exposing your thick headedness, because it only revealed you don’t think for yourselves,” Waweru Mburu said while referring to Luos. And like Julie Gichuru, Waweru told Luo politicians to drop the referendum, which is being spearheaded by Raila Odinga, and concentrate on helping poor Luos from poverty.
