KENYAN POST ELECTIONS VIOLENCE
Related to country: Kenya

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Well,it seems to me that no one wants to compromise,amid all the rigging claims i feel utterly disappointed that we had to resort to violence.I think the opposition should have tried to use all peaceful means possible before resorting to violence.there's an article by ken kamoche on the sunday nation dated january 13th and i like what he said in some parts of the article,quoting samuel johnson he says,'to instigate the populace with rage beyond provocation is to suspend public happiness,if not to destroy it.He is no lover of his country that unnecessarily disturbs its peace..few errors can justify an appeal to the rabble;who ought not to judge of what they cannot undersatnd,and whose opinions are not propagated by reason,but by contagion."Johnson goes on to warn about the false patriot who appeals "to the indigent,who are always inflammable;to th weak,who are naturally suspicious;to the ignorant,who are easily misled;and to the profligate,who have no hope but from mischief and confusion;let his love for the people be no longer boasted..the disadvantaged deserve to be heard,to have their condition improved.But what we're seeing is the blatant political exploitaion of the poor.WHAT WE WANT IN OUR BELOVED KENYA IS PEACE.WE CANNOT HAVE THAT IF THE POLITICIANS ARE IN THEIR SAFE HAVENS AND WE SUFFER IN THE NAME OF FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE.THESE PEOPLE LOVE THEMSELVES TOO MUCH!!!LET DIALOGUE PREVAIL ABOVE THEIR EGOS.

Majimboism in Kenya
Related to country: Kenya


what do you think about majimbo.Is it practical to have it in kenya,bearing in mind it is equal to a state int he united states.Is it really going to accelerate development in kenya or is it a recipe for disaster?I think that it has the potential of aggravating tribal clashes in kenya.It is good for the provinces to be independent but let us not forget the past that majimbo carries.Some provinces are better economically and this might be a bone of contention.What do you guys think?

love.....

nipun mehta meditations
KEEP NO ACCOUNTS WITH LOVE,Mikhail Naimy
You are the tree of Life. Beware of fractioning yourselves. Never set fruit against fruit, a leaf against a leaf, or a bough against a bough, the stem against the roots, or the tree against the mother - the soil. But that is what you do when you love one part more than the rest, or worse yet, to the exclusion of the rest.

You are the Tree of Life. Your roots are everywhere. Your boughs and leaves are everywhere. Your fruits are in every mouth. Whatever the fruits on that tree may be ... whatever its boughs and leaves may be ... whatever the roots may be ... they are your fruits; they are your leaves and boughs; they are your roots.

If you want the tree to bear sweet and fragrant fruit, and if you want it to be strong and green, pay attention to the resin -- the life-blood of the tree. Love is the resin of Life. Love is the blood that must circulate unhindered in the veins. If you repress the blood, it becomes a plague. Hate is Love repressed or Love withheld. [...]

You do not know the Joy of Love if there is any hatred in your hearts. That which you hate is bound up inseparably with that which you love, like the head and tail of the same coin. If you are truly honest with yourself, then you must Love what you hate and what hates you before you can Love what you love and what loves you.

Love is not a virtue ... it's a neccessity of greater importance than bread and water, and more important than even light or air. Let no-one have pride in their loving. Inhale and exhale Love just as unconsciously as you breathe in and breathe out air. Love needs no-one to exalt it. Love will only exalt the heart that it finds worthy of itself. Don't seek out rewards for Love. Love is rewarded sufficiently with Love, just as hate is a sufficient punishment for hatred. Love accounts to no-one but itself. Love neither lends nor borrows; Love doesn't buy or sell.

But when Love gives, it gives all; when it takes, it takes all. Its very taking is giving. Its very giving is taking. Therefore is it the same to-day, to-morrow and forevermore.

--Mikhail Naimy, From "Book of Mirdad"
