Is it or is it not? Could it be? Is it possible? How Can that be? I don’t believe it!! Have faith. What is faith?There are so many things in our existence with no proof, scientific or otherwise that leave us with more questions than answers. I have been reading a lot lately and realised that, not everything is as it seems. So much is hidden from us through mass misinformation. I propose you read the book MindF*ck by Christopher Wylie, inside Cambridge analytica’s plot to break the world. From this you will know how social engineering and misinformation works .

“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” ~ Marcel Proust.

When we were young we had numerous friends. At school, in the neighborhood, in the village, in church; literally everywhere. It was bliss.

The laughter that filled the playgrounds, the secrets shared under the shade of old trees, and the countless games that never seemed to end. Those were the days when friendships were as simple as sharing a pencil or a banana.

As we grew older, the nature of our friendships changed. The innocence of childhood camaraderie gave way to more complex relationships. We began to form bonds based on common interests, shared values, and mutual respect. Life’s hassles took us our different ways. We pursued different Careers in different parts of the country. The number of friends diminished, but the depth of the connections grew stronger. Some became so strong that they led to marriages and partnerships.

Then along came the digital age, the concept of friendship transformed yet again. Social media platforms redefined what it meant to be ‘friends.’ Now, we could stay connected with hundreds, even thousands of people at the click of a button. But amidst this vast network of digital connections, we must ask ourselves: how many of these “friends” are truly friends?

The joy of childhood friendships was in their simplicity and authenticity. As adults, we yearn for that same genuineness. Perhaps it’s time to look back and learn from our younger selves. To cherish the moments over the milestones, to value presence over presents, and to nurture the bonds that withstand the test of time.

Lets also note that at the core of every friendship is the willingness to be there for one another. Whether we’re young or old, near or far, in a village or in a virtual world, the essence of friendship remains the same. It’s about being there, in the blissful moments and the trying times, just like when we were young and friends were everywhere.

As we grow old having friends is now very important. It is hard to make friends at this age. Do not let work and life get in between your friendships. Be intentional with them. Soon you will retire and head back to the village or your retirement home or wherever it is you are gonna end up. It’s the friends of your youth who will still laugh at your silly jokes, sit by your side at your daughter’s Ruracio, or have your back when you go in for a colonoscopy.

Those are the relationships that will matter at the twilight of your life when the kids leave home and the wife goes to visit them for months at a time.

“The only way to have a friend is to be one.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I came across this post on a WhatsApp status and I couldn’t help but think, we obsess so much with personal success, so much so that communal success is lost on us.

From the onset of evolution, man has always been a communal being. We have thrived and survived through hell. We made it out only because we stuck together. More of us were better than just one.

Civilisation has completely messed this age old habit. These days personal achievement is all that matters to man. In all circles of life, in every discipline people gun for individual accolades. Medals in sports, Grades in schools, and fame in art and music. We are all working to outshine each other. Collaboration of any kind is seen as an opportunity to steal the teams ideas and shine alone.

We have forgotten that it’s teamwork that got us where we are. That we used to hunt as a group, we used to defend ourselves as a group. Kids were raised by the community. No one person or home starved while others overindulged. Every problem was shared as was every bounty. Society had morals. There was no crime at all. Because when people come together, No one lacks.

There are so many sayings and adages that have been coined towards this way of life over time. No man is an island, together we stand divided we Fall, two heads are better than one. All these were meant to discourage individualism. Yet, selfishness is deeply entrenched in the modern way of life.

So when I saw that WhatsApp status post, I decided that I dont want to walk alone. For if you want to travel fast you walk alone but if you want to travel far you go as a group.

“I want my whole squad to Succeed; Not just me, but all of us.”

I was sitting on a midday matatu🚌 from town (CBD) to Nyayo Embakasi, and noticed that the passengers were a really good sample of Kenya🇰🇪.

There was nurse👩‍⚕️ probably getting back from a night shift, a highschool student👩‍💻 who maybe had been sent home🏡 from school to go collect School fees. This sharply dressed young man👨‍💼 had a brown envelope on his lap, probably coming from an interview I guessed. A hawker was selling ‘magical pens’🖊️🖋️, a pretty good sales man, I would say. The man behind my seat was on the phone promising to pay “the loan” by the end of the day today.

These are everyday folks. There are millions going through the same ordeals everyday, all over the country.

So,

If your days are better, if you have an income of some sort or people you love and love you back; just something to look up to. Then find time in your busy days to say thanks to God or to Karma, or to science or to whoever or whatever it is that you believe in. Coz wueh, life ain’t easy. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
