Effort-Reward in Real Life

Most of the times Most people will always like to put in the least effort and expecting to reap the highest benefit-This is the phenomenon of inverse/paradoxical reciprocality of life.But when things turnout otherwise demotivation is incriminated as the cause for inertia. The reality of life is that, for a given effort, one gets at its best an on par benefit or less but never more..except….! (EIN 2013).

Values and Virtues

Never give up your morals values or virtues in exchange for anything. When the European missionaries came to Africa, they told us, polygamy or more precisely polyandry was “bad” and a “sin”. Polyandry was an African cultural value for an avalanche of reasons. Then, nothing was mentioned of human rights to protect this African value. Today, same countries under the pretext of “human rights” want to force homosexuality to us something which is not only considered as a sin in most religions but a cultural taboo that doesn’t tie with our good African moral values. Africans wouldn’t succumb to any duress as homosexuality will only add our burden and increase the pending list of unsolved social problems. In Cameroon, it is proscribed in accordance with article 347 of our penal code with deviants punishable, likewise in most or all African countries. If you are a proponent of homosexuality then Africa is not the place for you. Bravo, Nigeria, Senegal, Uganda, Gambia…….

Wars & Peace

Wars are a consequence of geopolitical power struggle and financial gains. The majority have nothing to do with bringing peace and happiness to ordinary people which is always the media motive for war. Don’t go to war hoping to gain peace in return!

If men would consider not so much where they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling in the world says Joseph Addison.

Everyone must not share the same opinion and everything must not be the same- homogeneity is alien and utopic to man. Discussing differences & compromising to come out with practical win-win solutions is what really makes life interesting. Life is not a dichotomous black/white Yes/No, Left/Right, Win/lose ….as conventional teaching has conditioned us to think. Life is a spectrum with 80% of the events,  people & thinking falling within the Gaussian middle. Unfortunately, the powerful, minority and  extreme right-left 20% determine and set the pace for the rest to follow!

Imagine a homogenous world where everyone one was to think in the same way, had same hobby, ate same food, spoke same language, belonged to same religion, ethnicity, and

all plants had same color…what a dull world would it have been!

Therefore we must not simply fight, nor go to war because we are different or think differently!

Just thinking aloud at the dawn of a New Year.
