Time Perspective 02: This is the story of a helpless woman who is about to become famous, but for the very wrong reasons.

We are all currently going through the coronavirus pandemic, and I can't help but ask the question of whether people have to choose between dying by the Virus or by other means? Means such as fear, hate, racism, ignorance or even starvation. Should there be a need for that question in the first place? World Nations casting aspersions on another, so much to blame on the topic of transparency, and world domination. The negligence of Health institutions. Conspiracy theories floating through the wind, here and there. After all is said and done, what do we make of all these? The idea of legacy may remind us of death, but it's not about death.

Through Experience - Characterizng our moments in History (Article) Part 1 of 2

You and I Iive knowing that we - and our loved ones - will eventually die. This shadow of death forces us to contemplate what to do with our fleeting time on Earth. Many choose religion to be saved through Faith.  Some even go as far as using Logic and Reasoning: by trying to understand ourselves and the world we inhabit. At the drop of a hat, how do we now possibly explain the root cause of Xenophobia? how do we react to the Xenophobic violence against foreigners (particularly other African Nationals) in South Africa? How should we behave and co-exist with one another? How can we  describe the state of coexistence amongst Africans, or Let me expand it a bit further: between Humans and Nature? Humans might have burned some parts of the Amazon for thousands of years, but the fire records analyzed indicate the scale of forest disturbance in the 21st century is probably unprecedented. Towards this end,  how do we digest our understanding of...
