The Criers!

By AlatiphA - July 19, 2014

There was a saying that East, West, Home is the best. But this is no more as one's home may be his or her most dangerous place to dwell. He or she will not be free from wars, rumours of wars, bombs killing, poverty and sundry negative issues, which have characterised the world and made different people to become criers in their respective capabilities. Home is where one is free from damages. Many have full cause for crying, because they are afraid of what the next minute would bring to them. Many are criers in their heart without showing off their beautiful teeth or have to clean up their faces, while others do. The former set of people grief and wear the flaws of their heart around.But no matter that they do not shed tears, when you see them, agony has shown all over them. Stanley Elkin, in his "Criers & Kibitzers, Kibitzers & Criers", writes that there's something comforting, almost soothing, about realism, and it has nothing to do with shocks of recognit...

The Laughers!

By AlatiphA - July 19, 2014

In the sweetness of the world, many are laughers. Some undertake judgment against truth just to see that they laugh always. They share pleasure to the detriment of the world. They are refreshed by the many lies they tell or the truths untold. They laugh and laugh to the scorn of everything around them and see such as a weapon to destroy the world. What many do not know is that their laughter can turn the world into painful situations, or painful situations into laughter. The Dalai Lama does not subscribe to this feigned peace and happiness of individuals, thereby saying: World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not the absence of violence; peace is the manifestation of human compassion. These laughers see money as the medium to measure worldly success. They do not care to find the inner peace, which creates the ability for the world's people to live in harmony with them. But is laughter not also a rejoinder of both aggravation and overtiredness? Did this not come to ...

The World!

By AlatiphA - July 19, 2014

The world is such a wonderful place blessed by nature, but cursed by man. Man is parasitic and has dislocated the world from its original form forthe lucre of economic interest. It has become obvious that people are ever ready to sacrifice the World in the manner that Dalai Lama describes the actions of human beings against the world in the following sentences: Man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. Then he is so anxious about the future that he doesn't enjoy the present: the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived. The world is suffering a lot of things at the same time today, because of man's subtraction from nature. Man feels that words and ideas can change the world, without minding the detriments he was to incur. There was nothing wrong with the world; man is the problem with the world. Walter Russell, ...

The Word

By AlatiphA - May 28, 2014

How did that word escape him? Too bad! Joe: Doc, I want to be castrated. Doc: What on Earth for? Joe: It's something I've been thinking about for a long time. If you don't do it, I'll just go to another doctor. Doc: OK, but it's against my better judgment. Joe had his operation. The next day he walks down the hospital corridor very slowly, legs apart, with his drip stand. Heading toward him is another patient walking exactly the same way. Joe: Hi there. It looks as if you've just had the same operation as me. Patient: Yeah, I finally decided I 'd like to be circumcised. Joe's eyes widen in horror, "Oh no! That's the word!" By Sheikh Zandey

Does age matter in politics?

By AlatiphA - March 20, 2014

Many young people forget an important aspect about wisdom and knowledge: It is most often gained through life experiences, and that is something the young can't rush. I realize that many young people think people in their 60s (and older) are ready for life in retirement centers or graveyards or they should go & play with their grandchildren, but many older people function at a much higher level than the young, and the experience they have absorbed during these extra decades are more important than new ideas learned in a classroom. Historically, I believe most of the finest politicians were older men, and many younger ones do not have great track records. Two of these youngest Presidents in America : Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama, have proven to be among the weakest; while one of the oldest, Ronald Reagan, still gets high marks . In Ghana, I dare name names. I certainly see nothing wrong with young men and women becoming involved in politics, and our nation could sure use an i...
