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
Assassination of Kabete MP is just horrific movie scene. What is our country coming to?! Are all our leaders endangered now? Thank goodness that the family was in a separate vehicle, but OMG they witnessed their father's being sprayed with bullets! The trauma they will have to live with. Much condolences. That said, let us dissect the issue and probable cause ... 1) He was a unionists, even been in a court battle with Cotu, something about 190billion embezzlement! 2) He is from Kabete... if you don't know, kabete is the crime capital of Kiambu. He probably messed up with one of local kingpins and puff... 3) ... nah can't think of any other reason. So what is the solution? Of course the security must be taken care of...blablaaaa we have heard and seen na nado inahappen... Lakini what can the Wahesh do to mitigate these untimely deaths? 1) Night politics, achana nazo... pay a Hotel if you must, but avoid driving around this city in wee hours. Yes experience has taught me that major political decisions in kenya are made at night lakini after you are thru, just sleep where you are. 2)Well some things are not worth dying over. I strongly believe in negotiations even over union issues. Trust me, such big monies have more than one stakeholders... some nastier than you can imagine! 3) Kabete Mp has to be local mwenyeji with sufficient 'thugish' tendencies, not a posh nice God fearing Kenyan. Yes my friends, that ecosystem follows the exact darwinism of survival for fittest. 4) If you have a mpango wa kando, keep her happy. Most male politicians do, coz they have too much testosterone, which demands more 'release' than wifey can handle. If you must let her go, be kind; so don't take back the apartment or the vehicle or the business you set up for her. I promise you most deaths in this world are primarily conjured up in minds of angry jilted women. 5) If wewe ni mchokozi type, Make a point owning a bullet proof ride. But you might still be killed, so have all your sins repented at all times, and you probably be poisoned. lakini I think being poisoned is less painful and more dignified than being shot or plane crashed. RIP TO HIS KIAMBU HERO. MAY GOD COMFORT THE FAMILY AND KABETE RESIDENTS. (((Peace n Love always )))
