HUMAN LIFE!

Considering the universality of many aspects of human life, there are aspects which are necessary and in totality. These aspects have a wide horizon and spectrum which determine human fair-life. Every human being is in his/her potentiality; but how many do they come close to the actuality in a fulfilled manner? Knowing oneself, to live holiness, to be oneself, accepting the others, listening and silence, and forgiveness are really the basis of having a peaceful and a just global community both to the rational beings and the other beings in the universe.

Image result for rational beingMany scholars, especially psychologists, have tried to elucidate in depth about a human life. The psyche being the centrality of a human, it needs to be worked upon. Comprising cognition, E-motions and feelings, it really bears a high percentage of the whole human being’s life. Nevertheless, awareness is very necessary in order to maintain all this complexity of this rational being. One has to recognize him/herself first in depth and accept the way he/she is. Being in a ‘global community’, made by the technological advancements, in order to have a heaven-like earth, the community life must be perfected. The communion to be successfully sealed and made concrete by recognition. Each and every member must know him/herself and recognize his/her presence not as just an accidental existence but with a purpose.

After knowing one-self, growth is vital. Striving to live in wholeness is a very appropriate option to adopt in one’s life. ‘wholeness’, in the sense of being a living being who is in control of his/her inner-self and connect with the rest of the universe in the rightful way. Striving for wholeness is an aspect of being oneself. Believing that we are having one Creator who makes everything to be in peace rightfully, he is enabling us to have that opportunity each and every day.

Image result for listening and silenceHas one ever noted the similarities of these two words; Listen and Silent.  Containing the same alphabetical letters, one can reconstruct the word listen to get silent and vice versa. They are mysterious words which are very fundamental in human life. The silence should be an act of reflection. listening is a very important factor as it enables one to be deeply into contact with inner self and others too. As Swahili quotation says ‘kinywa cha mzee kinanuka ila kinanena ukweli’ – The old man’s mouth has a bad breath but speaks the Truth. And, ‘mvi ya kwanza huota sikioni’ – The first grey hair is in the ear. These two quotes give a summary of the two words and their importance. The reflective silence is necessary and it is only broken when there is need; to say the Truth. Truth sets people free. Nevertheless, however much most people believe in that, sincerely, it is bitter in most of the time; but its advantages are far away surpassing its bitter implications in the society. The Listening part is attributed to be of equal prominence as concurrently.

It was an honour to the Tanzanians having the privilege to present and share more concerning one of the cultures in the motherland, Tanzania in the cultural evening. Happiness and joy was vivid on every members’ face in the community, some hours before the event commenced.

Historical background and culture teachings about Pogoro People were well narrated and I can bear witness, it was fabulous .

Iteso is the name of the people speaking Ateso language. The man originating from the Teso land is known as ‘Etesot’ and a woman on the other hand she is known as ‘Atesot’. Background They are believed to have come from Alexandra in Egypt. They are the descendants of the Biblical Joseph, a Hebrew, who is said to have married a black Egyptian woman. She gave birth to Ateker speaking people who include: Jie, Turkana, Maasai, Karimojong and Iteso.

Brother Tobie Kizza

Evaristo, Collins and Yago at Tobie Kizza burial's site (Ibanda Parish)                              As a saying goes that ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ, it indeed spoke to me. It was after I had taken a step to read about Bro. Tobie Kizza, who also happened to be the first Muganda brother of the society of the Missionaries of Africa not only that but also the Patron of Tobie Kizza Team here in our community Lavigerie. Being born from the pagan background in 1872 in Burigi, this did not hinder him from achieving and discerning his call to discipleship. The man, who ate, worked, loved and lived with the famous martyrs (our fathers in faith) in the year 1886. Inspired by their lives, and their willingness to die for Christ, this gave Tobie more zeal and increased his commitment to Christ (rooted in Christ, we venture with hope). Despite the hard ships under the rule of the king, Tobie did...

The Karimojong, their Beliefs and The Supreme (Spirits and God)

By -
Introduction I will base the discussion of this essay on some of the basic aspects or features pertaining to the Karimojong tribal life, in relation to the supreme reality from which their life flows. The Karimojong are the Central Plains Nilotes who currently live in the North-eastern part of Uganda. Karamoja consists of different groups of people, which in this case I refer to as larger clans. From the northern part, are the Dodoth, Jie, Teuso (Iik), and the Labwor; in the central are the Matheniko in the same district with the Tepes who originally belong to Kalenjin group of people.  Within the same vicinity of the central are the Bokora , and Nyakwai (originally of Luo origin). In the south are the Pian (which includes Chekwii of Namalu), and the Pokot at the extreme boarder to Kenya. Nature has blessed Ngikarimojong with a semi-arid climate; it is therefore for this reason that the Karimojong do not practice agriculture in a large footing like the rest of the ...
