35-year-old sells her daughter

-

 My heart was heavily saddened after learning of the 35 year old South African lady who sold her daughter Joshlin Smith for only R1100.00

The sad part iis that being a biological mother to this pretty damsel, she had the gut to kidnap and sell her child to a Sangoma. What is society turning into? This is no different from murdering her own blood. How can one be so heartless to give away a precious soul for items which are vanity? I'm still in shock as to how cruel society can be for personal gain. Some kill for riches and glory, others steal to make big names and to some sacrifice equals power but, all is vanity. I agree with Shakespeare, "Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." We're so caught up in today's swift that we forget tomorrow exists, how pathetic. 

Just like Joshlin's mom we make stupid decisions to suffice our interests and later regret. Selling your own for drugs money? Before judging her, let's introspect ourselves. Are we not hurting those around us with our words or decisions we make? Are we affecting our world and surroundings with love? Are we saints? Just because we didn't make it to the headlines does not make us any better. Think again, apply wisdom, do good😊

Life

I'm so excited writing my very first article, Life. We always claim to be brave or courageous but if things don't turn as expected we crush, crumble and break. Life is always determined by your attitude towards it, also your perception of things. I have decided to express myself using a poem. Life, Life, Life One moment you are here, next Miles away... East and west you go, High and low you travel Searching for greener pastures, Ending with "life isn't fair" statement  Whoever said, 'life is rosy?' Every day  you wake up, Expecting a transformed world,  Yet, nothing changes Complains, intolerance and the like always fill your mind. Always remember, life goes on. Trials and tribulations follow you Yet, a beam of light is always visible In the darkest corners of your life. You got the power to define you Drive yourself to your destination  Take charge of your life. poem by Queen Nnessy  Despite...

 Patience, a name I would have given myself, maybe when called, I will reminded to exercise it, hahaha, lol. Well, I love Nnessy too, nice choice mommy and daddy.  Patience, the hardest thing to execute since no one is willing to wait. I plant today, I want harvest tomorrow; I put food in a cooker, the next minute I want to plate it up; I invest money, the next nano-second I wish to book a vacation or buy commodities with my savings/investment... the list goes on. Such is our ordeal, no wonder people indulge in crime and disgusting acts only to accelerate what they want.  No one has time to wait for anything. We're this microwave generation expecting things to occur in a nanosecond. It's a pity we've eliminated the word patience from our dictionary and vocabulary. One exercising it, deem fit being categorised as stupid. What then is this patience?   ~Nnessy🩷 Oxford dictionary defines it as the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without bec...

Staying true to self 2

  True colours This article was inspired by a post made by one asking what true colurs really are. I found it funny to be honest because the post read, 'If you do bad people say you've shown your true colours but when you do good, nothing is said. Is true colours only associated with the bad?' First thing that came to my mind is, ain't doing good part of someone's true colours? Hilarious, right. From my own understanding, true colours is simply who you are either good or bad. Character is shaped from your true colours. One thing for sure, character can never be masked, you can pretend for some time but not forever. So, simply be yourself. I understand that sometimes in a verge of wanting to fit in, you mask your personality so as to be accommodated. Well, it's good to be you from the onset, if you have weaknesses, you can be assisted right there and then. If you like black why act as if green is your thing. The danger of masking your true colours results in frus...
