Universal Right to LIFE

The right of all In 2011, Shaun Alberto de Freitas and Georgia Alida Myburgh wrote a paper on the rights of the unborn child. Seeking Deliberation on the Unborn in International Law Potchefstroom Electronic Law Journal, Vol. 14, No. 5, 2011 . They emphasized that the paper stand for a push to ensure that the international community define the status of the unborn child, who has been relegated due to lack of priorities, but despite the need to define the child this is not an attack against women,  “bearing in mind that opposition to abortion does not of itself constitute an attack on a woman's right to respect for privacy in her life”. The right of all, the value of every life and the struggle of this truth in the current world environment is a tragic fact. Why should black lives matter be more important than all lives matter, can the chat not be because all lives matter black lives must matter. Does black lives matter represent not a social growth that seeks the elevation...

Our Call from God

We are seeing a call to live out love, faith and hope in a world of institutional structures that speak hate, abuse and anger. As the United States of America dares to peal off the bandage of compromise and silence that has kept racism underground but very much alive and growing. The world watches as things unfold and a new era is begun, through a revival of conscience and principles and a willingness to be. Racism has haunted international relations and development dynamics in its various forms, from the rise of nationalism, the reflection of colonialism and imperialistic dispossession a people of identity, name, culture and dignity. These atrocities which once publicly where part of institutional policy are now privately the foundation of national and in part international culture that is used to limit, denigrate and justify the murder of people of colour. The murder of George Floyd is only part of the killing that occurs the destruction of the flesh. The more critical annihilation i...

You Owe Me

When we look around the world we see a a lot of people going thru a sense of frustration. Frustrated due to the lack of control over their lives and the actions of other. Many of us feel more at peace when we can guarantee results and plan so as to attain the maximum. While we move about seeking to make sure, we increasingly learn that we are not able to control every aspect of life. For some this moment breaks them and they enter into a downward spiral of panic and fear, for others this motivates them to try harder, while other accept it and move onwards. Some move on awaiting their chance and others give up refusing to hope for goodness to meet them. So while acceptance may appear healthy, it is important to answer why the choice was taken up. When we give up on life, hope and the visions that once pulled us up each morning. We may become very angry at life and someone else, indeed anyone else. The rise of nationalistic feelings in the Covid Era, is a direct response to the frust...

Stop the Churn

There are times in life that are filled with applause and celebration and other times that are full of silence. When I look at what has been going on in the world, I see that the greatest danger in the world is not ignorance but assumptions.  Some may view them as the same thing, but they are not ignorance is far more acceptable than assumptions. When a teacher walks into a class room or a new boss into a an office or a new student into a group. The dangerous group or individuals, most prone to endangering any progress of relationship building and thus progress, as those with assumptions rather than those who are plainly ignorant.  When I am in a relationship, be it with a new friendship or a family member, the danger to our relationship is the actions and words that are spoken based on ones assumptions. Assumptions hold that we are supposed to understand things outside what is presented.  The missed expectations are amplified and become catalyst to disassociation.  ...

Doing The Right Thing

The death of  Ahmaud Arbery  is a testament of the evil in individuals. The evil that is celebrated in some communities as self defence. Defence against something undeserving, something, different indeed something that should be relegated to the back of beyond.  The religious community around the world addresses such events with a call to prayer and teach them while young, teach children values and morals, right and wrong. Yet these men who killed another are moral men in the eyes of their community, they are protectors of right and wrong as defined by them. Their bias and xenophobic world view is a communal attitude, making it dangerous to be different.  In the death of Ahmaud Arbery two world collide. In his death philosophies battle. Some view racism as the actions done only by whites, while other declare that racism is common to all-races hence to them all racism is equal, while others like Adam Hochman a lecturer at Macquarie University states that there ...

What is the wonderer doing?

What is the wonderer doing?  The migration story is usually in the news because of the tragic loss of lives that dare to cross the seas or seek a seat by the wheels of planes. As people seek space to travel the world for a better life. The idea that migration is about adults who seek to act out is only part of the story. Migration is also the story of the youth and the child. The migraines child who seeks to make life better and drops out of school, trusting in the future. The teachers who cry at potential lost and hope deferred that had made the heart sick and weak. The suffering of the mother who looks at her child, wondering will she ever the child again.  The migration story is more than economics to some its live and death, progress and total failure, though only economics makes its equitable for management and business of politics and development. Migration is the move people make, as individuals who may be broken and  frustrated seek change. Regardless of th...

The Great Oracle

The Great Oracle    Waking up seems such a hurdle. Yet world is back to business, sort of at least. Those most visited by the radical public who dare to move out of security the cage of submission, are the businesses that offer the least restrictions. Those who do not remind the world of dearth, death and danger that held us prisoner. Mankind rises up to rebel against all. The cry against leaders — the response bottled in after days enclosed — we will no longer be controlled , against nature which dared to roam the streets of power. nature that did not seek to celebrate the vision of progress but rather caused division amidst men, men shouts back we will not be overtaken.  How can we live in ruins when the city is habituated, how can we not arise when the battle is beyond, to live, to express to be that is the battle cry. We must do something, anything but wait to be consumed. But where to go? What to do? How to finish it all and why bother when there seem to ...

Set up with a determination to dare! Live life to the fullest enjoy the relationship with those who love you and forgive those who hate you and impact those who come across your path. Regardless of the opinion of those who denigrate you, your life is part of a divine journey and has the most important thing to make sure it is fulfilled You, you alone can do what you are meant to do and become who you are meant to be Stop focusing on the negative see that you are being taken to a new level by going through the fire not being set up by God for disaster and shame. But being built up as a light, a book written indeed a life story lived before the world for the benefit of others Take a moment and breath close your eyes and then dare to have another look at the previous suffering besides the unfulfilled vision. And choose to take up the vision. A day at a time a moment for each step. CALL the person who always encourages you, Thank them and tell them not to stop even when next ...
