PROTOCOLS OF THE DESERT: FLOWING WITH A LIFE OF THIRST

‘The desert surrounds your every step and you walk forever a thirsty man. ..’ Christopher Pike
Peace be upon you.
Deserts are characterized by the following climatic, topographic and biotic characters: Aridity, Extremes of temperature, Humidity, Precipitation, Drought, Absence of water vapour in air, Biologic soil is absent in most of deserts. Vegetation is scarce and animals face shortage of food, Scarcity of water.
We may not live physically in the desert regions of the world, but because we have been programmed naturally to search when we need or lack something, this drive to search can be likened an aridity of the human soul which needs to be sated. Hence, the push forward out of the desert in search of waters of salvation and redemption.
Mehmet Murat ildan noted that “If the desert allows the trees to proliferate, the desert shall disappear! Therefore the desert has no choice but to be the enemy of the trees”.  If the needed desires of mankind are satisfied, then we have reached the epic of progress and civilization then there would be no need for learning.
 In his Commencement address, Steve Jobs advised that we should all stay “Hungry and Foolish”.  How can you stay hungry? You only stay hungry when you lack something. You only stay hungry in the desert.
As we continue to long and thirst for whatever that needs to be addressed, may our efforts never be in vain but contribute towards healing a fractured world.
Peace be with you.

While we were mounting big speakers in our places of worship, USA was mounting man on the moon. After our prayers, God, being a wise God decided to reward us according to our labour. Since those that went into industrialization, technology, infrastructural development, ICT, education etc has been re...

THE FEEDING BOTTLE NATION

                                         THE FEEDING BOTTLE NATION                                           BY CHIBU NDUBUISI 15/05/2017 Peace be to you. Feeding bottle is used to feed infants because they are yet to develop the capacity to feed themselves. It is designed in such a way that the feed tickles down to the dependent infant. An infant that uses feeding bottle does not understand what it takes to make the feed, but the parent or guardian are hopeful that one day the infant will grow up and begin to feed him/herself. When this scenario does not play out as expected, then we assume that there is a problem. As illustrated above, so it is with the country N...
