DESIDERATA 💯

Image
  GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

  There are many complex and even long rituals and ceremonies associated with death, however, circumstances surrounding the death of a person, age, sex and social status of the dead were the most important factors that dictated these death rituals and ceremonies in the past. The tradition is that from the time when death is announced, old people gather at the homestead for wake keeping. During this time all the members of the village present a certain amount of money which vary from one village to the other. These contributions were mandatory, since records of all the contributors were kept and it was for everyone on the wake keeping exercise to cater for their needs. It was also noted that the homestead, and especially where the wake-keepers were gathered, fire was lit to prevent darkness from instilling fear into the people performing the wake keeping. Food stuffs, water and firewood were brought by the villages, in turns from the day; death occurred until the day the...

WHO IS YOUR LIFE PARTNER?

Image
Mom? Dad? Wife? Son? Husband? Daughter? Friends? Not at all! Your real-life partner is you r body. Once ur body stops to responding no one is with you. You and your body stay together from birth till death. What you do to your body is your responsibility and that will come back to you  The more you care for your body, the more your body will care for you What you eat, what you do for being fit. How you deal with stress, how much rest you give it; will decide how your body going to respond. Remember, your body is the only permanent address where you live. Your body is your asset/liability, which no one else can share. Your body is your responsibility. Because you're the real-life partner. Be fit. Take care of yourself. Money comes and goes. Relatives and friends are not permanent. Remember, no one can help your body other than you  Pranayama - for Lungs Meditation - for Mind Yoga - for Body Walking - for Heart Good food - for Intestines Good thoughts - f...

SILENT TREATMENT

Image
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.  The next week the man realized that he would need his wife to wake him at 5.00 am for an early morning business flight to Mombasa. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence, he finally wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5.00 am." The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9.00am, and that he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't woken him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. It said 'It is 5.00am; wake up

A SWAHILI MAN TAKES ALL

Image
A white man and a Swahili man are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The white man is thinking that the Swahili people are so dumb and that he can get one over on them easily so he asks the Swahili to play a fun game.  The swahili man is tired and j wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks. The white fellow persists and says the game is very interesting. "I'll ask you a question and if you don't know the answer you pay me only KES 100. You ask me one and if I don't know the answer I will give you 100 USD". This catches the Swahili man's attention and to keep the white quiet he agrees to play the game. The white asks the question, "What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?" The swahili doesn't say a word reaches in his pocket pulls KES 500 and hands to the White. Now it is the Swahili's turn. He asks the White, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"  The...

DUNIA MAPITO

Kuna familia ya mjomba wangu imeishia pabaya sana. Najitahidi kuamini vinginevyo lakini akili yangu inaniambia ni laana. Mjomba wangu alikuwa ni msomi wa Ph.D na alikuwa na pesa kama uchafu. Majumba, magari na miradi mingine kibao. Alikuwa na mke na watoto watano wa kike wawili na wa kiume watatu.   Watoto wote walikuwa wamesoma shule za maana, namaanisha za maana sio za umma ila shule za maana za kimataifa ambazo hata watoto wa mabwenyenye wangesoma bila shida. Vyuo baadhi yao wamesoma nchi za ng'ambo. Mjomba alikuwa ni mtu mwenye upendo na alisaidia sana ndugu zake. Kiukweli alikuwa ni mtu ambaye ametoboa sana kimaisha ukilinganisha na ndugu zake wengine wa ukoo mzima.   Baadaye aliugua afya yake ikazorota sana na akili zikawa kama zimeruka kidogo (sio sana). Mkewe na watoto wake hawakumjali. Kila alilowaambia hawakumsikiliza akawa hana thamani tena. Huwezi amini mfanyakazi wa kiume wa nyumbani alimtunza na kumjali kuliko mkewe na kizazi chake.  Kuna siku wa...
