2Sense: Wise Monkeys

" You can not use apartheid as an excuse" Excuse me? I don't think you understand what you're saying... a little more than 2 decades later we are expected to forget apartheid forget that that you came to OUR country, OUR continent and had the audacity to deem us inferior. then you proceeded to take from us, in fact steal our livestock , our land, even our liberty, anything you could get your hands on you took from us. We are thieves? well I wonder where we learnt that from. Called us uncivilised, yet YOU had primitive minds that only knew to conquer and divide. Tell me how are we to forget, how you relentlessly tried to destroy our nation, our humanity. You made our ethnicity feel like sin, like the pigment of our skin made us sub-human. Called us vile but you used pseudo science to convince yourselves that you were better. You imposed your religion on us and when we rejected it, you called us Kafers and for years to follow you used such words to torment...

Applying Logic To Emotions?

Image
It is said that "Applying logic to emotions causes conflict. Logic is rules, regulations, standards, using past experiences and taking into consideration present circumstances to come up with solutions. Emotions is love, hate, anger, anxiety, happiness, joy, kindness, gratitude, everything that classifies you not being a robot. The words came into my head " you cannot apply logic to emotions". I think back to the terrorist attack on Brussels Airport and Maalbeek Metro Station on the 22nd of March 2016. The two brothers who went into an airport carrying explosives knew very well what they were doing. They knew very well that today is the day we leave this world and take as many human beings with us as possible. Now you probably wondering what's the relation between the statement "you cannot apply logic to emotions"' and an Airport and train station in Belgium. Logic would tell us that what these people did goes against every law, moral stance and...

The Right To Social Security

Image
How many of us recieve the short end of the stick? By that i mean how many people in South Africa experience the bad effects of the way our country has been run? We have The Right To Social Security, on paper this means "We all have the right to affordable housing, medicine, education, and child care, enough money to live on and medical help if we are ill or old." But it never happends that way, sadly enough this includes the majority of our society. Houses are becoming more expensive by the day and these are not just in suburban residential areas, its affecting all corners of the country, including rural areas. So at the end of the day everyone is feeling the pinch in their pocket.One would say its the hike in prices, for the past few years, has been nothing short of absurdity. Health care is suppose to be one of the most important rights that gets exercised in our country. However, it certainly feels like its turned into a luxury in order to afford proper health ca...

No Title

Picture yourself in a zoo. But instead of passing lions, giraffes, baboons and all these animals,  you pass men, women and children of different age, race, religion and status. Like animals, they are also caged, caged in a world of illusiveness. The thought of breaking free blurred by money and all its enivatible evil intentions. By now,  "money is the root of all evil", should sound familiar to a conscious temple. Dont you think? It gets scary staring at how these ideal generations pave platforms that fail to educate a nation that suffers from thinking the world will remain as is, for infinity. We've caged ourselves in our little shells because we scared of how the world will see us when we open up. So we choose to stay on the safe side of everything we do. Skeptical and not certain om breaking boundaries.We accept the notion of being defeated before we have even stepped out of our comfort zone for a split second. We have ourselves to blame for letting our generat...

Nothing ever promised tomorrow, today

Image
Its only after your high school years that you realise that the ball of you future is in your hands, and that if you drop it, no one but you will be held liable. I think when we in school we think too much about what you apparantly have planned about a future that isnt certain for some of us. And others sit back and ask Jesus to take the wheel. Let me guess, you think he gon help you out? Well i believe...if you sweat and work hard for your shit...it'll pay off. Eventually. But a few seem to think all thats needed is prayer.... Nah folks its bigger than that. Dont downsize your ambitions just because of minor difficulties or obstacles that can be overcome. Ive learnt to keep a controlable amount of friends. The thing with a shit load amount of friends is that it brings a shit load amount of confusion, hate, and just people that dont want to see you heading up the ladder. -Nceba Thabethe

What Is Acceptable?

Image
What is acceptable? Are we supposed to dress a specific way, listen to specific music, have specific values. Believe in certain religions, live certain lifestyles in order to fit the bill of what's acceptable? I would be lying if i said we gave a F** but sadly and unnoticely, we do. We preach "live your life the way you see fit!" Or "f*** what all yall mother***** say ima do me!" It's very powerful statements that fill the interwebs and socials but honestly do we practice what we preach? Do we really live life the way we see fit? You feel a certain way when someone says to you that they don't like you. You feel a certain way when someone says you dress funny, you ain't got swag, that's so last season...yadi ya bla bla bla bla bla bla.... People gon always talk and we will not always share the same principles and values. One might not believe in the church or the christian faith as a whole, one might be a born again...who do you think is righ...

Who's World Is This.

Our brains are a very powerful tool. They take full control of our body operations. The fact that you can read this message, scroll down this screen is functions that your brain process. Without the mind, the body can't operate. Our brains translate what we see with our eyes into our own unique understanding of the world dynamics comes the saying we don't think alike. Our brains are so powerful that it can turn our thoughts into reality. I want you to read that last line i said again and again untill you get tired. No like really do it. Our brains are so powerful that it cab turn our thoughts into reality. Take it into whatever context you want but what I'm tryna say is that the world is nothing but a canvas of our thoughts turned into reality. Everything you see, touch and use which was man made was one, or maybe more peoples thoughts turned into reality. Facebook, twitter, BBM, all these things were.just a dream to someone, today its a neccesity for billions. Like it...
