TRUST

By Kelsik

TRUST

“I just can’t believe that it was you all this time around. How could you do such a thing to me? You have betrayed me. You have let me down!” These could be the words of a man whose heart and trust have been broken by someone he/she trusted. Let us face it, it is hard to come to terms with the reality that the person we trusted with all we had betrayed us. In many cases, people we trust are the ones that betray us or let us down. Look at Peter who was the closest person to Jesus let him down by denying him, Judas plotted against him and handed him over his enemies, spouses cheating on their partners, husbands defiling their baby girls, leaders fails to fulfill their promises they made to their followers, men of God lying to their sheep’s. All these shows us that trust is always broken by the people who were suppose to protect and cover us.

Cursed is a man who puts his trust in a man. Why is it so? Because men are, evil and they are filled with selfish ambitions and desires. When we put our trust in a man, I believe we do that at our own risk because we do not really know if the person is not going to betray us. Telling a secret to a friend be sure that there is a possibility that he/she might not keep the secret. Most of betrays are done out of selfishness, covetousness and sometime fear but the reasons do not really matter. Betrayal is betrayal.

One more question, is it always true that people we cover their mess up trying to protect them. Can they do the same to us if we were in their shoes? My opinion is no. Not all will and you will start thinking of all the things you have done to protect the friend sometimes risking yourself for them to be free but here they are, failing to give back what they got from you.

Now the question is should we stop trusting people? NO! The only thing I am saying is that, we should just be very careful with people we trust because there are times when we cannot even trust ourselves and we need somebody to trust. Always remember that a heart of a man is desperately wicked and beyond cure. Nevertheless, we still need someone we can trust but just be conscience and careful with people we trust and be ready to face the consequences if the person does otherwise.

ANGER

By Kelsik
The phone rung three times in her office and she picked it up. At the other end of the line, a strange female voice answered, “please rush to Queens Hospital your daughter is here and she is seriously injured!” Before she could ask who she was talking to the line was cut. In her confused state, she rushed to the hospital and when she got there, she only found a corpse of her daughter lying on the mortuary bed. She died just a few minutes before she arrived. Liz was her beloved second-born child who only turned sixteen a few days before she died the most horrified and gruesome death. She had a deep cut in her skull and another one on the left side of her face. The beloved daughter was hacked to death by the very same person who was supposed to be her protector, provider, and shield. She lost her life in the hands of her own father! Upon seeing the body of her dead child she collapsed and fainted consequently she stayed in the hospital for the next two weeks and she missed the fune...

FACING REALITY

By Vincent Kumwenda
I have had problems recently to come to terms with some issues I face in life. I have tried to hide my issues to the world but to no avail. They still find a way to show their ugly face to the world.I am who I am. There are some things in life we need to face even though we don't want them. Facts will always be facts regardless of what our opinions are. Most of us try to live our lives in illusions. Preferring to show only the best sides of our lives. I have met several people who borrow clothes and other things from friends just to show that they are well to do when they are not. In fact I know of a person who managed to convince a girl to marry him because of materials belonging to his friends. You can guess what happened after the girl found out. Its a fact that some things that happen to us are not good to be known by our friends, girlfriends or workmates but to live a life completely different from what we are supposed to live is not good. I have tried it and it doesn't w...

SUDDEN DEATH

By Vincent Kumwenda
I have heard, read or witnessed suicide deaths before but it had never happened to a close friend or relative.But the recent death of my friend who chose to take away his life has had a big effect on my life. It has taught me a very important lesson that i will try not to forget. Sam had just graduated from one of the constituent colleges of the University of Malawi with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He was a very intelligent friend who i adored since our primary school days. He was just brilliant beyond explanation. He got born again in secondary and was active in youth fellowships. We all knew we had a strong member, advisor and a role model. He openly said that was a virgin even at 25 years and wanted to maintain that until he met his life partner. The unfortunate thing happened when he joined a group of friends for a workshop at Lunzu Trading Centre. We are told that he was convinced to sleep with a prostitute. (I don't know how one managed to convince him to do such a th...
