Will this day matter in five years time?

A question that I find asking myself every now and then, we as people we have so many things that we cherish and I constantly hear people say that I will remember this day forever. Will our memory do us the justice of remembering each and every single detail of the things we do or we go through?

We might remember some special moments and we will always have pictures to remind us but will that day matter to us and our children. I would like to believe that I will matter because this day is the day that I got my diploma, of course pictures will be there but they won’t be as appealing to them as they might be to me.

People have a memory box where they store every important thing in, but what if your house catch fire and your box is burnt and you have nothing to show your children. What will happen to us when age catches up with us? I ask myself because my grandmother cannot remember what happened five years ago.

It is a poor idea to lie to yourself

Question: Why do we lie to ourselves?

Sometimes we lie because we want to get ourselves out of a situation and we want to get quick solutions to the problem. Others lie because they simply can’t help it but we need to understand one thing, that whenever we lie so someone we are in actual facts lying to ourselves,

and for every lie told there is a disadvantage chances are that lie you told may come back and bite you in the back some day. With every lie you convince yourself of - you not only become that lie’s slave but also freely give away your strength. Why?

There are things that we call little white lies, and we usually say that there is no harm in telling a little white lie every now and then, really? I admit that I have lie about something but it is not a habit………..you know when you crave something so bad but you don’t have money to buy that thing, what is the first thing that comes to mind?

Why parents lie to their kids about something. Why partners lie about something he or she didn’t like. Why employers lie about the reason he/she was later at work. Customer service lies about the warranty of a product. Politicians lie during their political campaigns.

The big day

Zandile Mcinziba and Msizo Dlambulo

19 April 2012, it was a big day for most us and everyone was excited and happy because we were all getting our diplomas. It was that big day that we were all waiting for, our graduation. For me I was not feeling great at all, infact I could not wait for the ceremony to end so I could go home and sleep. My friend was so excited you would swear it was her who was graduation.

I was happy pity I could not show and I could not enjoy the day because I was sick, after so many years of stressing, less sleep, and money spending it was spoiled by this sickness.  I’m very grateful to a lot of people lord knows I have nagged people for money and lots things but through it all they never said “we don’t have” because they all knew that one day it will be all worth it.

 Many times I would dream about the day, it was really a special day which I shared with my friends, and family but there was one person whom I hoped or wished was with me to share that moment. My mother but I know wherever she is she is very proud of and she’s smiling down on me.

My friends were all looking stunning and beautiful, the ceremony was over it was now time to go home and throw mother of all parties, but that had to wait for the biggest day. This year has been nothing but great, but I guess we all have to wait and see the end result.

The sound of one hand clapping

It is very impossible for some to clap using one hand, we as human beings we can do many things using only one hand but we can never clap and hear the sound. This can be possible if we could reverse the creation.

We can go anywhere; even the so called traditional healers cannot make a person clap with only one hand. However this can only be possible if you have two different people clapping together both using one hand.

One hand can smack its fingers and palm together and produce a sound. My understanding is that there is no sound of one hand clapping and clapping takes two. It's not much of a riddle but just to show you that it takes two things for there to be a third product.

Letting go

Many people say that letting go of something or someone is the best thing one can do, i have heard many people say that i need to let go and move on so that i can find happiness. But they don’t understand i am very happy where I am, or I think that I am.

Yes letting go helps in a way but what if i don’t want to let go,  in a space of three years i have lost three important people in my life and i don’t want to let, I am selfish? I really don’t think so but others may not agree with me.

Someone once said to me I need to open up and speak to someone, reality of the matter is that i find it very difficult to speak about my feelings, because of that i don’t want to be too attached to someone. It is almost like im scared they will die and leave me alone like my mom, and cousins. Which is true

Letting for me is another thing all on its own, does letting means that you are erasing those people from your mind permanently? I know that they would want me to move on, which is something that i have done, for me it is hard to let go especially on my birthday and their birthday, small things reminds of them. How can you let go if every little thing you see or do reminds you of that special person.

Not all who wonders are lost

The topic is self explanatory many people if not all, wonder away from the things they know and the things they believe but that does not mean they are all lost. Some wonder because they are really lost and some wonder because they want to wonder and they want to experience things and they want to see places.

Lets put it this way we have two sides the ones who are really lost and the one who are not so lost. The lost are lost because they either don’t know what they want, or where they are going they still need find themselves. This is like a story from the bible the prodigal son, who wondered and when the world kicked him he returned home.

Then you have the not so lost these are the people who leave home just for the fun of it, they want to experience the world, they know what they want and where they are going they just need to have that experience.
