SUDDEN DEATH

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 thing). In the course of their time in bed the condom broke.

Sam was completely devastated by this and he could not live with it considering that he might have contracted the deadly virus, HIV. We all knew that things were not right with Sam and his friends revealed after he had already taken his life.

He had to die a cruel death just for the fact that he might have the virus. He was one friend that i admired and could not believe every word about what he had done.

  1. dear sipho
    ihave read the passage you have sentto me

    Sam was wrong to have had convinced by that friends of his,we have learnt that he spent 25 years in his virginity hood,he would wait until his time.this is a lesson to us all,sam did nothing in his life time,he waited in vain.when you make a right decision in life the devil watches us and he comes to snatch all the opportunity we had in life.lets put God first in everything and all our wishes will be materialised because there are just alot in this cruel world and without the guidance of the holly spirit we can not sustain and reach our goals but with God all are posible.

  2. some friends, some decisions and some choices. mistakes are inevitable yes, but the effects of mistakes can never be avoided. lets choose right friends,make good decisions and choices. As for Sam, its a pity that he took his life before finding out the truth that he has contracted AIDS.He could have gone for testing first. Sam made two very wrong choices and decisions. the first is losing his virginity to a harlot and the second one is taking away his life. he had a very strong guilty yes but repentance was the only remedy for his and wait for a miracle if the harlot give him AIDS. let us learn. thanks for the article.

ANGER

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

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...
