It is understandable why sometimes we get to see the truth about our circumstances but stay away from it. We learn that something doesnโt add up about what we are following, but still follow. Four simple reasons:
I) Sometimes weโve invested too much in the lie we are following, so we fear that it would take too much to start afresh (Sunk cost barrier)
II) We fear to look foolish, if we admit that we got it wrong all along. Keeping on could at least give an impression that we have some reason for following (same reason why we sometimes stick to foolish arguments and beliefs)
III) We fear getting out of the herd (band wagon), sometimes because we could be ostracised or socially excluded. This also applies to many that dread the responsibility of thinking on their own, and therefore simply follow groups.
IV) We are manipulated by those who gain from our following to think that we might lose something very important if we withdraw. They attach a carrot that the follower will be manipulated to find reasonable to pursue, regardless of the irrationality attached.
These explain many of the irrational things we concede in society - in world order, in cultures, in politics, in entertainment, in religion, in marriage, in fashion, in the professions, and in our everyday relationships
Bruv,
I don't see what carrick has got to do with the horrendous mistakes the players keep making. At this level especially.
It's the players he's got, and they keep making school boy errors.. 25% Carrick's fault, but 75% has alot to do with the quality of those damn players!
Each game, one of them seems to leave their minds outside the touchline!
One day its Licha, then Lammens, then Maguire, then Yoro, then Amad, then Mbeumo, then Heavens... and almost always Dalot!
Fellas just engineer their own damnation fam.
Andrew, you are so often an intelligible man.
Unfortunately for this time, you completely missed the nail head and struck your own fingers. The gentleman in question indeed made remarks that downplayed the cries and injustices everyone is well aware of.
Which begs the question then; Where was his "conscience" while making those remarks? - To sleep? I suppose, since we dare not assume the "man of God" long surrendered it or else we'll be labelled (drug addicts) (ganja men) (men whose God is weed) ....etc etc!
@yubdenis1 These are not leaders. Just dealers!
And that too, is from an extremely restrained and respectful POV. They are worse.. this breed of humans.!
His parents named Mbuuse Yokana, the world knew him as Kapere Lufotose and his friends called him Taata Twamp.
He was a friend to many, a beautiful soul whose presence touched lives, and I have no doubt that he will be dearly missed.
Iโm one of the many who were fortunate enough to experience his friendship. He was a man who refused to be defined by his appearance, he let his sincerity, character and heart speak for him. And what a beautiful heart he had! What an interesting character!
A loving husband who made his wife proud, a gifted artist who understood the power of his voice and chose to use it for the good of his country. Kapere lived a life of purpose, serving his country in the best way he knew how. He was a patriot, a gentleman, and a man whose infectious humour could light up even the saddest of moments.
It is painful to accept that we will no longer have you amongst us to share those moments with you, my brother.
But perhaps that is the price we pay for having known someone whose presence meant so much.
To Maama Twamp and the children, may God give you strength and comfort in the days ahead. I pray that the beautiful memories you shared with him will become a source of strength whenever the pain of his absence becomes unbearable. You will not walk this difficult journey alone.
Rest peacefully, my man. Your contribution will not be forgotten, and your spirit will live on in the lives you touched, including myself.
