Introduction...

One must live in a manner that results in them endlessly creating themselves. The characters of old lived adventurous and fascinating lives that still inspire and influence us today because at an early stage humanity mastered the art documentation.

Now journals have turned to secret dairies and blogs have become the way that the 21st century is rescuing the dying art of recording lives, thoughts, adventures, experiences and wisdom. 
Do join me... 
As I create myself and give insight into what that looks like for me; my faith, my writing, my fashion and philosophy. This is only because we are all philosophers. If you have a personal (not borrowed) outlook on life that you developed... you are a philosopher by right. As am I!
Maybe at the end of this all, I will be one of the greats of my generation and you would have had the front seat​​ to something that, I hope, is nothing short of an amazing story and an unforgettable life.

I RELATE

I relate These are some of the most comforting words to hear from another person. They translate as; that ’ s normal, you are not alone and its okay to feel or be that way. Words of affirmation, or consolidation rather, so you navigate the situation with the perspective of not being consumed by it. Shared experience helps us to relate with the world. It may not be that particular experience that you share, but the feeling from two independent but similar experiences. When someone relates it doesn ’ t minimise an experience or enlarge it. It simply humanises it. Making that thought, idea, experience or feeling normal … whatever it is. This is a truth that is universal; we need connection. Now with social media, globalization and diversification there is so little that separates us now. Yet with all this connectivity human connection has become shallower and shallower. We feel the pressure to present ourselves in manner than doesn ’ t reflect the honest state of our inner bein

CASE FOR CULTURE

CASE V 68:   THE CULTURE It is no surprise; that being in an environment far from home gives you exposure. Often it is unclear what that exposure entails. That is until you live the experience! On the other hand, the recurrent message seems to be that the exposure in foreign environments is good for us and helps us on our path to success. What I am certain of is it allows you to open up to introspection. ‘The culture of a people is their identity as it affords them due recognition. It is their underlying distinguishing factor from other peoples and cultures. In fact, all societies across the globe have various and divergent cultures which they cherish and practice. Nevertheless, no two cultures , even when juxtaposed are absolutely identical as attested to by ethnographers. In order for a society to operate functionally and effectively, they must ensure and maintain strict and constant adherence to the various components of their culture.’ Culture is such a diffic

AFRICA'S TIME IS NIGH

Today, as it is Election Day... ZIMBABWE I have decided to post one of my first published articles.  This is a passionate expression of mine about the continent of Africa as a whole which is especially relevant today. Vanessa Hodza Chisipite Senior School By “Africa”, I’m referring to the youth and future leaders of all its nations. It seems we live on a sleeping island of buried wealth and potential. We hold so many treasures in us that could lift all nations if we collaborated with each other by fostering more indigenous trade patterns and solutions. Natural  resources that can be mined, natural wonders that can be toured, intelligent minds that can be cultivated and fields that can be sown in. It would be unfortunate if all our potential remained that, Potential. Muhammad Ali once said, “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.” So where do we start? Democracy? The post-colonial governments that took over the leadership and manager
