The observable moments of happiness for any human being can be founds in childhood. Apparently, such moments of happiness diminish, as the child grows into adulthood. Some children are robbed of their happiness by abusive parents or guardians. However, whether robbed of happiness during adolescence or not, real happiness remains…
Philosophy, as opposed to Theology and religion
The advent of Christianity seems to have unnecessarily dominated all ideals of philosophy, whose agenda is to grant understanding to humanity. Jesus, Himself, was the greatest philosopher who ever lived. Unfortunately, His followers, later, became imbued in religion, more than appreciating and understanding His teachings. It is the aspect of…
Elected officials are not superior
Any problem in this universe starts with confusing one thing for another. It can only be the insane, who can be observed as using underpants for headgear. Such behavior is similar to putting on a right-hand shoe to the left foot and vice versa. A person cannot be effective in…
How can death be gain?
Death is most feared and considered unpleasant by most people. Yet the apostle Paul insinuated treating death as gain. “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21) (NIV).

Reality is not always what appears to be
Any person, whether a beggar or a vagabond, carries potential energy that is many times more powerful than the atom bomb. What seems difficult to penetrate in the minds of many people is the statement that a human being was created in God’s image. A human being is not the…
Outside intervention is necessary, in handling domestic disputes
This cannot be debatable to any normal woman, constantly terrorized by a husband gone berserk. Outside interference is a right that is internationally recognized. The problem with insanity is that it is contagious. When constantly terrorized by her husband, a woman may end up assuming that living under the condition…
Truth does not need improvement.
The only thing that cannot be improved in this universe is truth, which remains to be what it is. Things that can be observed and generally accepted as truth, today, become revealed as having been false. There are many things that get discarded later—when having not been true, after all.…
A thriving democracy is closest to God’s Kingdom
The nature of problems in the African continent is caused by the inability to allow democracy to thrive. Very few people are able to think independently.
