Life is a collection of Moments

By -

 Life is not a journey, as people often say. Even fools make journeys. Instead, life is a collection of moments, and it's up to us to extract wisdom from them or walk away empty-handed. I learned this valuable lesson at a young age, and it has stayed with me ever since.

My encounter with Mrs. Nambi Kaneene was brief, but it had a profound impact on my life. Her wisdom, professionalism, and thoughtful interactions left a lasting impression on me. She spoke with intention and deliberation, as if wisdom itself was speaking. Such moments create memories that evoke emotions, spark appreciation, and shape our perspectives.

The most precious gift anyone can offer is a moment, whether directly or indirectly. It's up to us to cherish and learn from these moments, for they are all we take with us in the end. I've come to realize that life is not about accumulating wealth, properties, or material possessions; it's about the moments we experience, the memories we create, and the wisdom we glean.

Sharing moments with others has been a privilege. I escorted Americana to visit his people, and we laughed and enjoyed stories of their lives. I saw the Late Mr. Karim laugh with joy, despite his advanced age, and it was a poignant reminder that life is about living, not just existing.

Not all moments are joyful, of course. Some are painful and hurtful, but our purpose is to live every moment to the fullest. Someone once told me that the reason we experience moments is to prepare us for the life beyond this world, where everything is infinite – love, peace, joy, and living.

When we meet our beloved ones again in the world of infinity, we'll share moments from our time on earth, laughing and reminiscing about the good times and the bad. We'll talk about our first dates, first kisses, and first hugs. And when we look back, we'll realize that our purpose was to live, grow old, and die, leaving behind only the moments we lived.

In the end, it's not about the journey or the destination; it's about the moments we create, experience, and cherish. So, let's appreciate every moment, cherish every time given, and live life to the fullest. For across the river, it will be a celebration of memories, conversations, and moments – no properties, just the legacy of our lives. Because Life is a collection of Moments.

The Bitter Truth: Death respects no one.

 The truth is, we're all going to become food for worms someday. This is the fate for everyone regardless of rank or honor. A lot of people have seemed to forget that we all have the same fate which is death. You find them killing as if they’ll never die, they beat, torture and oppress as if they own life.  I’ve written this article, basing on the notorious thief, murderer and robber called Sobi. This was a guy who created terror amongst innocent people and boasted in it. He caused suffering and pain, stealing, and killing with impunity for almost thirty years. All because of a paper called money. But like they say, “he who kills by the sword, dies by the sword”, Sobi died by the sword, killed in a manner that’s so inhuman. He was cut on his throat like a goat. A man who boasted in the wrongs that he did was found in cold blood like some kind of a street dog. The day he died, is when the nation knew that he even had a family that he loved. The late Prince Paul Kafeero said in his s

THE DECEPTION OF MEN IN SUITS

Growing up, I was taught to beware of individuals with unconventional appearances, such as tattoos, dreadlocks, and nonconformist hairstyles. They were labeled as dangerous and criminal-minded. However, as I matured, I realized that the genuine threat was not those who looked different, but those who wore suits and concealed their true intentions. My teacher once told me that my appearance would hinder my success, that I resembled a thug. Yet, after witnessing the cruelty and oppression perpetrated by men in suits, I am proud to embody the qualities they despise. Beneath their suits, they harbor beasts and monsters, exploiting their power to loot, steal, and rob from the vulnerable. Lucky Dube astutely observed, “They initiate wars at will, some for entertainment and personal glory, sacrificing innocent lives for their wrongdoings.” Men in suits are masters of excuses, utilizing their influence to justify their atrocities. Through personal experiences, I have learned to distrust them.

Every kiss feels like a new beginning.

I know we've been through our fair share of struggles and disagreements. We've argued and quarreled time and time again, but despite all of that, my love for you remains unwavering. I don't care about the past or the mistakes I've made; all that matters is the love I have for you, and the fact that you were the first person I ever loved. I know I've hurt you, and for that, I am truly sorry. My actions were thoughtless, and I broke your heart. But please know that my love for you is genuine, and it can't be changed by my mistakes or the challenges we've faced. I may not be perfect; I may be a little or more rough around the edges, but my heart belongs to you. My mind may wander, my eyes may stray, and my feet may take me on a different path, but my heart will always find its way back to you. The world may try to tear us apart, but our love is stronger than that. They may try to silence our laughter and our smiles, but we won't let them. If I were God, I w
