Edge of the future



Some day you wish to be married, have your own small family to support and look after but then, that is one or two of your dreams. For now you really don't know what's evolving around you', you are just in the middle of nowhere, trying to figure out on how you should get there- the future you think its bright.


The first thing you have to think about as a person is the fact that you are growing, each and every day new responsibilities emerge, and not even one is said to be not entitled to you. Some people especially the youth out there don't think about this, as long as your mother  or dad is providing you with everything, then that's all. They tend to forget that the cars, house and luxurious things they have don't really belong to them. That's make sense right.


The point is: as long as you are breathing, living in this nasty world don't freak out, this world is tough, it need a very  special type of people who will be able to survive in  the long run of their period. First of all a question may arise then, how can you reach your goals if no one is supporting you. In order to reach your destination you need a couple of hands to hold on. Lastly I would say that it is very important to understand life, the hard times and everything that accompany it.

Do we have to believe in religion?

Introduction


The first question a lot of people ask is if someone believes in God or religion. Out of all the religions we having, all of them are annoyingly begging people in the streets to be part of those groups. You end up being confused which to take and which to drop because they are all able to lay down their beliefs clearly.


Reality of religion


As it can be defined by some religious experts religion is the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. It is by then that we can say that religion exists. It form part of ones life, the beliefs in someone you don't know, or the belief in someone or something that you see. We can date religion back to where the people of Egypt worshiped their cow gods or baphomet. It is true that each and every one belief in something, and it is somewhat shame to see religion being passed from one generation to another because it then loses it momentum, it loses its value and availability to others. To belief is not a sin right? that's your feeling inside you, the way you can idolise something that you know it give you a sense of belonging or sense of having what you have desired.


Religions


The world is a huge place for all nations to live in, each part of the world have different people from different backgrounds who belief in different opinions and thoughts. Christianity, Muslim and other religions depends on one thing: How fast it is spread to lower generation, how convincing is those pushing the gospel of belonging in a certain part. In as far as religion mentioned above is concerned, Christianity or should I say Christian have the thought that there are the chosen children of God while Muslim also think the same. In Muslim religion we have imams who act alike pastors in Christianity, in short the formalities of religion are the same. They are built in one concrete which is the power of the most high or the religious heard. I will continue stressing my point using this two above mentioned parties. Jesus died for the people in the world, so each sin a person should be cleansed by him receiving Jesus as saviour, same thing with Muslim who uses Prophet Muhammad in same particular way.


Choice and confusion


Some people are born Muslim, some are born Christians. As early as they are  being born they are involved in some sort of religious rituals. My question is: Why are these kids not given a chance to explore their choices. If your father is a teacher for example, are you too as a son forced to be a teacher. That is if you like too, there is an option to choose. You have to understand me, am not saying you shouldn't give your child what you think it is right for him or her, but what am trying to highlight is that each and every child has the freedom to choose what he or she likes without being confronted by his or her parents. Some would say that young soul is innocent and don't know anything about the world thus he or she needs some directions? I got it right, as a family you are giving your child the best option right? It is ok then but all at large is the fact that that child is not given the opportunity to select his/her best option.


Religion critics


As all these religions have their own supernatural being, not really do they have but God falls the only part of the discussion adhered here. Alright, we all believe in one God but in different ways; I got that: but the most frequently asked question would be is this God in league with what we do or think? The answer to such tricky or fair question is known to you. From the generation of great figures such as Moses , Jesus, or Ibrahim how is this gospel being passed through this so long narrow lines this this current generation? Some will say through the holy Books; Quran and Bible. So another nasty question would emerge critically; Who wrote these books? how true are they? what makes you believe it is really genuine with no pigs foot? Such questions have no answers in particular. Would I be a couch potato every Sunday? Go to church that is what your mother says right? Its true; but some questions you have are never answered, no matter how hard you pray, how hard you become hard-core to your actions. Those answers never come to fruition, they are just thrown away by those who say they know more while they know not.


Religious wars


I know very well you never thought of such phrase ''religious wars'', from a Christian point of view am sure the is no such word. This is because Jesus Christ teaches of characteristics of a born again person. Some rules are being laid down in clearly in the ten commandments submitted to Moses. ''Don't Kill, don't steal, don't worship other gods besides me, make love and peace your primary concern''. It is either un-realistic or real? When someone out in the bushes is converted to a religion, he or she has to abide to that religion's principles...To be straight to the point, in Nigeria Muslims militants Borko Haram are in trashes with Christians there, is that showing peace and love? Maybe that's what defines those two term to them. I mean cold hearted religious people staging warfare, producing tones of blood, evacuating thousands of innocent souls. Where are we really going as religious people, is fighting each other part of the gospel we are trying to provide the most reach? Ask yourself alone this question; ''Do I love my neighbour as I love myself?, do I really care for other kids who are not mine? do you I know that a have a lot of brothers and sisters out there? do I care about what they are eating or wearing? where they are sleeping? are they safe?''. Such question would give you a clear view about yourself as a religious person. What really are you fighting for? then if you fight against each other the person(Satan) that you are supposed to fight with is gaining momentum and becoming fully armed and dangerous? That's because it is the way of life of a Christian or Muslim. I know it may be too arkward to compare the two, but its six and nine no big difference here.


Nasty churches


Somehow or somewhere? where? churches now are house or b***s, h**s and thugs. Nowadays the whole point of going to church is generating income for other corrupted family heads. Money is the reason why people talk in un-translated tongues, people perfume un-realistic miracles and at the same time doing ungodly business. You would some news briefs saying a pastor rapped a kid, a church member killed somebody, arrested for selling weed or she had a baby form a particular church leader. What is really this? what is happening? are we then able to see wrong from right , choosing to live a good life now seem like not attending any church but reading your own Bible, that's a book of hope. To prove the point that a lot of God's houses had been turned into some marketing schemes and profit making organisations; one or two church got an ATM machine planted just by the corridor. Some may say it make it easy for anyone to go withdraw money for offerings, but then someone is going to church on Sunday, that is a known fact, so you cant forget why you going there. By implanting this electronic machines they are trying by all means to get what is in your bank account in a fashionable way, a way in which when they had spread their demons around you would withdraw a lot of cash, just for them. It is crazy or? can we say no one knows? Someone should know that this is a planned thing. Also girls are in mini-skits, in male clothing, women hairs floating side to side, hairs open, no respect to the God we worship. Am sure then you are dancing to the devil in a new dress, a lot of you people had been fooled. False prophets start to emerge from their grounds giving the world of religion a shock. I am sorry to say that we have no choice in here, how can you see if you are following the right leaders, or maybe you are part of the seven seal headed team?


Which way to take?


I am not a Jesus people please don't follow me, am a human, just that I have a mind that is functioning extremely effective. You have a choice to listen or not listening. In as far as this religious matters are concern, a better way to take is understand why you love, what are you living for, who are you living for and how you came to existence? Having answers to this questions would mean you have the idea of your way, straight forward. What is good is what you think compared to what you see happening


Conclusion


In conclusion, God gave us power? We know there is God somebody told us that, but we really haven't set our eyes or talked to him. What keep us going is the hope that we will one day go to heaven, even though we don't know the heavens too, never set our sights or foot there, it is just an imaginary thing. You heard it from someone right? you don't know anything right? don't be mad at me because am saying what's true. The only thing I believe in is the existence of God not religion. I feel like religion is another workbench for Satan's regime to exercise, because some people may think am an atheist. No!!!!!!!!!!

The Conpirancy Behind Umhlanga Reed Dance 2015

August

When August come, young unmarried girls happily rushed  for the Umhlanga Reed Dance, they didn't know right from wrong and love and hate. They all or most of them have the eager to go cut reed , cheer and dance in front of the king.

Critics and Religion

 My sisters did attended it some time ago, but my mother would turn up a red eye on them since she was a religious woman. The old woman would say this was just not a clean act as he uttered those words in a Christian point of view. When they were young they would cook umphako for themselves, something like a whole chicken and some peanuts. They would go there willingly, with their friends same age as them joyfully. My father would argue with her saying its a culture his children should go through since his forefathers entertained it and he said that it was good for a girl child.

In which way it is good for a girl child? It keep girls virgins and loyal to the Swazi culture someone may say that. It is a celebration of a girl child, time where they meet together, share memories, hardships and get taught about life of a girl. All that is true, the question get rising when we touch the issue of virginity again. Long time ago only virgin girls would attend the event, if it happened that a girl wasn't a virgin then her reed  will wilt and that was a big shame. As we go through the ages of time things changed dramatically and drastically, not only virgin attends the reed dance nowadays. Am curving this point with rich experience- one girl in my locale had a baby but still goes there; two girls who are my neighbours also have some bitter and worse but awkward backgrounds. To prove a point, is what happening today meet the above objectives  of this festival? am not saying this because I like to criticize, but the my God gave me keep on blasting if I don't play with words, if I don't speak my mind, if I don't give the world a clear picture of current events.

Love of culture


mediens
Joyful girls


It is our culture, yes we love it so much, but then we should take into consideration the current time we living in. Our kids go there every year and we would say they are being taken care of. I mean given proper food, shelter and love.

Mode Of Transport

Expert a truck, a high one used for construction purposes, to ferry these young girls from and to the royal residence. Another question going viral on the web is: is the mode of transport an effective and safe one? Don't say I wrote this because something happened, but just to outline what you didn't know excactly. With a speed limit less than normal because of its form factors, it suppose to abide to those terms- but we Swazis prefer using it as a means to transport our children to our beloved reed dance. It is ok isn't it?  To make it short and clear, we don't like seeing our kids on top of trucks, we want them to travel safe, from home to their beloved destination. I don't know who to blame for the way our kids are ferried, whether the ministry of transport of the royal family? just that I don't know who pay the fees; who is on top of this league.

Suggestion-  it is highly suggestible that buses and mini-buses should be used as a matter of fact. It is safe compared to what we use. Imagine a kid: overwhelmed by the joy of being with friends- jump and dance through the air, only to find herself down on the hard road mourning over his blood oozing on the black and rough road. Just imagine? On the other hand your kid blew by hard and dirty air on a journey of 50 kilometres? She might get sick, get coughs and get infected by air diseases. No one like it or maybe no one hate it too.


Speak-out

Speaking from a wide-awake person perspective I always found it useful for people to raise issues, put them to discussions , debating them and finally getting the desired and effective measures deployed successfully. Talking is cheap but somehow its cost more than your life. So some said there was an accident there, where a massive number of girls died? because I wasn't there, I wont elaborate more since that would be a lie, something passed to the masses held as grapevine. But in everything truth should lead. They did died, not peacefully though. It is just a sorry sight encounter we Swazis are facing, that's why we bow down, crying over our lost sisters and future women.

Continuation of event

Although some kids died the Umhlanga Reed Dance go in full sprint, sadly that's  what? it is like playing Koze Koze on your big speakers while people are mourning for your father who is dead. How can a celebration continue if the reason for that celebration is not on spot? That's how we Swazis roll, we are in the same party- yes; but then one dies we continue partying more. But then I am a kid in this block, I don't know how and what adults think, the only motivation I got is on my rich mind. Sober!!!!!!!! I thought they would pause the event and mourn, no cries?
