Having had agood rest last night, little did I know that today would be a sad day for me. Last evening was so wonderful, I had a nice time watching Paula White who talked about life explaining that we decide how we want our lives to be for example when one angers you, you are the one who chooses how to react either you burst out with anger or maintain your cool and let it be, either way its you who has chosen what you think is best for you. This kept my thoughts high and believe me by the time I was done with thinking, I had conquered with her.
Today started real good I entered my office read some newspapers and just after a few minutes my colleague walked in and guess what? she tells me Lucky Dube was shot dead the previous night. I felt my knees weaken and I asked her to tell me that it was ajoke but then why would one want to joke about some ones life? The news of Dube's death saddened me and what hurt me most was the fact that he was shot.
Before, I was not afun of his music though lately last year I had developed interest in his songs. I can't imagine that the person whose music has touched millions of people world wide had his life end by some blood thirsty freaks ( forgive me for calling them freaks) but why why ? is the question. He sang about the children, life and basically every thing that affected man in one way or the other.Africa as acontinent will miss miss him and his family will miss him more but then I believe the almighty will strengthen them.
What aworld we live in! Life is too short and precious, appreciating it and making the best of it is the way to live it. Lucky Dube though gone was ablessing to this world. Lets all do something fruitful with our lives and better if we blessed others.
With Paula's talk last night, I don't know if I can still control what I feel about this big lose to the African continent. I can't pretend to be happy in order to enjoy my life this therefore leaves me with another question "In bad situations like this, can some one just waive what he or she feels aside? can one accept what he feels and let it be?" I need your help here
