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...

Is it a "Youth" eat Youth World

Transitioning management of companies from old youthful horses to young people across all sectors   The first lesson of getting into management is that no one is irreplaceable, so you have come into a job what is left is your move out. This should not be a bad thing. Movement in companies reflects growth and progress. If there is personal stagnation there is generally loss of potential institutional growth. So why do people fear movement, leaving a job, seeking higher posting or going into new areas.   Zimbabwean institutional challenges may be narrated in historical terms. Skilled specialists in low level areas held a culture of mythical stagnation. In the 1960 tradition, submission and obedience were key words. Things would be done in the old ways. The teacher in handcraft/practical jobs would never teach the student everything for fear of becoming ill relevant. The student would be discouraged to try innovation for innovation means failure and thus death of a caree...

The source of our action

The source of our action   The greatest gift any person may give another is themselves. To give off oneself requires sacrifice, it's more than the action of determination, it's more than the connivence of the moment it's the act of love that denies instant gratification for eternal significance through the joy of another.   Some parents are seen expressing that love to their own, some children reciprocate with a love of commitment and passion. Yet for many the love of self becomes an idol they refuse to compromise outside their “own," many claim to be givers yet will with ease abuse a stranger, some will claim forgiveness for their own and hate to any “other”.   Is it truly possible to be that split, to have such destructive and restorative power working in one and the same. I will say that for a while it may appear so. But inconsistency is consistent. In the end a cruel employer will be cruel in indirect ways to even their closest loves, this may be expre...

The Power of Influence

The Power of Influence  The most powerful influencer is he who can change the hear, behaviour must follow where the heart will lead.  Most people who deal with subordinates desire to make them change or align to certain behaviour. Parents and teachers may use bribes and discipline to ensure behavioural change. The focus on behavioural change to meet the approval of leaders or admission into the "group" is then ingrained into the child. What may not have changed in the child or individual is to agree on the principles that demand the change of behaviour. Human beings are fickle, a child will learn that early on that the capacity of being inconsistent is found in those who care for him/her. Because people are inconsistent they may also be manipulated for a set time. But how does that impact adults as they apply the lesson learned into maturity. When people became the judge and jury of our lives, we begin to make them idols and their rule over us will harm us, not because t...

Waking up to a new reality

Waking up to a new reality This is a start of a new season in my life. I am doing the things I love and wanted to do for a very long time. Yet the truth is, I am doing them with the least access to resources than ever before. My messages to the world will be about the reflections, insights and questions that arise in my life that I desire to share. Sometimes we want something so much that it consumes our daily lives and energy through our effort. We keep fighting only to reach the point when we become aware that no matter how well connected we are, no matter how much we want it, no matter how much we hit against the wall. It's only when all things are in place beyond our ability that things flow without great input from ourselves. As a Christian i believe that this moment is also the realisation that beyond existence there is eternity and beyond that there is God who is all powerful. Corona Covid 19 has been pivotal in changing the lives of many peoples. In some ways we feel ...
