Death is such a crazy concept. The fact that you can spend your entire existence knowing and loving someone, caring for them and them, you... and one day, just like that, you won’t ever see them again. You won’t see them smile or hear their voice or give them a hug ever again. It just hurts even to the point where you wish that the whole world would stop and mourn with you, but that’s not how it goes, the world carries on, keeps spinning and traveling around the sun while you pick up the pieces. The sun will set & rise, again and again and will keep doing so until you’re okay, and even after. ♥️

Pictures have this powerful way of capturing and implying perfection. Must be stillness.
"Independent in all things but neutral in none that affect the destiny of Afrika"
- Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe [by way of Ntate Smangaliso Robert Sobukwe Inaugural Speech, April 1959]
It is extremely important that Africa be aware that although she is in fervant solidarity with #Blacklivesmatter she cannot actively engage in herself in exaustive picketting and protest as that would be an insult to long exisisting African problems that have demanded our attention.
Are moral norms universal? Discuss.
In this piece the issue of the universality of moral norms will be discussed, in the conclusion a stance will be taken about this matter. The body of the writings will include the definition of moral norms and whether or not moral norms are universal.
Moral norms are thought to be basic standards which distinguish between what is generally accepted by society and what is generally accepted as wrong. From what has being said already we can see problems such as what is ‘right’ and what is ‘wrong’. For the aims of the discussion the definitions of these terms will be limited to what is socially acceptable at large or by the majority.
Moral norms are universal, they may be different in some circle but they still exist this is apparent because issues of morality appeal to the ones conscious, which is the inherent sense of right and wrong. It is often described as the inner man that tells you when you do something wrong of inspires unexplained happiness when you do wright of good. It is for that reason we can say moral norms are universal with the exception of infants and those that are mentally incapacitated. Moral Norms are universal because no matter where you go the terms ‘good’ and ‘bad’ are given the same values which are in contrast to one another. They are innate just qualities that come to one naturally just as not breathing under water as an infant, you are not taught how to do it but all babies do it and proof of this would be found in the fact that some women choose to go for water birth where by their babies will be born into water and taken out at a later stages. This case goes towards highlighting the fact that somethings as human beings but come naturally like instinct.
Human beings often turn to religion when something is too difficult to explain and this case is no exception. Religious books such as the Bible and the Quran have set out specification of what is good and what is bad what makes these books so effective is the fact that they have been in existence for many years and majority of the world believes in them thus ensuring that human beings have trained perceptions of good and bad which ultimately set the standards for moral norms and by virtue of belief in religion being spread world-wide it makes moral norms universal.
By setting standards of what is good and bad is effectively making moral universal because with a pre-assessed standard it becomes easier to implement these standards which will then spread across the world and by constantly defining these concepts we have manage to put in place basic requirement for good and bad.
"You know, Miles Davis once said: ‘If somebody told me I only had one hour to live, I’d spend it choking a white man. I’d do it nice and slow…’ but in my last hour I will say this, my blood will nourish the tree that will bear the fruits of freedom. Tell my people that I love them. They must continue the fight. Aluta Continua”

Is it not vague how things come to being. Like you just begin to be alive. Life just starts, completely random. You grow to be conscious of your being, your existence. Life just happens to you. You become and you must be. JLife singles you out in signific insignificant way. It's not aware until it is. You cannot choose to undo it yet you are forced to do it. It's just there, constantly happening. Wonder if there's time for life or is it just doing, how did it come to just do, if it's just doing when will it be done, does it choose when it will be done or does that also just happen the regress seemingly bottomless. Is it part of an illustrious process that knows not when it started, it's fate equally vague, it's purpose vague more probably misinterpreted which may be more accurate because it's indefinitely undefined yet surely that's a definition. Regression seemingly characteristic. Does unavoidable regression in the corner of every break in understanding concede undefineability giving us a more stubborn definition and tautaric regression. There is an intriguing intrinsic mystery that permeates it. Can life be comprehend by way of concepts we as a collective birthed in pursuit of an unknown understanding. Does it exist within them (concepts) or outside or does it transcend the veil. Is it correct to define life by our standards and concepts. Is that going in the right direction in attempts contain it as it ever so often escapes us using. Life by it's virtue admits death. The begining of cognisance admits the cessation thereof. Is life dependant on an awareness of it. Its it bound by time by humanly faculties. Does life continue in what may be a host after it's expiry. If it does, through natural or super natural means or mediums. Is there continuity & compactibility in our understanding and perception of it. Could life be a collection of begins and ends that never know when they ended and begun vehilced by an array of assumed forms without governnent. Devoid of sound cognisance & suspended in a state of perpetual progression it's marches on in the most stoic of fashions, unconcerned about. It just realises it's at any given point without prior warning or preparation with whomst it dares perceive. Does life begin where they say it begins juxtaposed with when you became congnisant of your existence. Is life/existence possible without a humanly host. Do aesthetic values hold, what is the measurability of life outside of being.
- this it, is it fathomable, containable?
I hope everyone is Saved hey, tomorrow is not promised & and I really want to see everyone in Paradise.
“ London - So is there only one healing component, which is love?
Mick - Yeah I think...you know, like I said that's what Jesus was down here to show us, that is literally what he showed us, like that's what- what his purpose was on this Earth. Umm, spread love and spread God's message and, and...eventually his love for us is what led him to die on the cross ”
I’ve got questions for Madiba, why did he forgive on my behalf, I really want to see them suffer like my people do. Believe me thats not coming form a dark place I just want to see some equality and fair rule. His decision to ‘move on’ has left us in a perpetual state of poverty. His decision to take the fight from the streets to the courts means that we still continue to play by there rules which are changed to suit them alone. Its like we’re playing soccer match in a stadium which they own & they keep moving the goal posts.

Your time on earth was a heavenly gift from God For those of us who knew you, your presence made us laugh. Memories of You Linger in my mind as I face each day. I'll forever live my life with love and Patience because that was your way. Thank you for the life lessons during your short stay. How I wish I framed your smile to hang in a permanent way. Your time on earth was a heavenly gift from God. For those of us who knew, your presence made us laugh. It was your soul that touched us all. It was your soul that touched us all. It was your soul that touched us all.

Reach for your goal, say what you're told Think that you know See what you're shown, watch it get old Watch, it gets old
Teach what you learn, speak what you heard
Hear what you're told
Nothin' but words
Watch it get old, it only gets old
Teach what you learn
Nothin' but words just like this verse
Reach for the air
Fall to the dirt, that know that hurt
Watch it get sold, speak what ya heard
Hear what you're told
See what you're shown, think that you know
Watch, it only gets oldMan I'm only gettin' older, longer legs and bigger shoulders
Heard I'm gettin' smarter, not dumber
Heart turn cold when it's hot in the summer
Since seven I been daydream, drivin' in a Hummer
Throwin' hundreds out the window to my kinfolks
Sippin' Hen-o, chiefin' indo
Like we indoors but it's no doors on my new Porsche, I guess
I just be tweakin' though
And dream the unthinkable
And prayin' it may come true
Hopin' it do come soon
And then I'm gon' make my move
But still I'm not bulletproof
We could all sing the blues
We could all hear the news but I ain't come here to lose
And I will not be removedReach for your goal, say what you're told
Think that you know
See what you're shown, watch it get old
Watch, it gets old
Teach what you learn, speak what you heard
Hear what you're told
Nothin' but words
Watch it get old, it only gets oldI've been too quick with the advice
I just wanna be right like a dad right
When you walkin' in my shoes I'mma tie it tight
You could tie a tie like you ride a bike
Ichabod cried when he ride at night
Head on his shoulders ain't his own
Someone told him his favorite song
Someone told him to watch his tone
Someone warned him of danger zones
Who forced the hand to make the clone?
Who stands in line to take the throne?
We only know what we know until someone knows better
A rose by any other text will still be Rosetta, hmm
Reach for your goal, say what you're told
Think that you know
See what you're shown, watch it get old
Watch, it gets old
Teach what you learn, speak what you heard
Hear what you're told
Nothin' but words
Watch it get old, it only gets old
Reach for your goal, hear what you're told
Think that you know
See what you're shown, watch it get old

Teach what you learn, speak what you heard
Hear what you're told
Nothin' but words
Watch it get old, it only gets oldWatch her get older and older until she don't wanna be known as your daughter
Watch him get older and older until he forgets everything that you taught him
Watch her get Instagram, instafriends, hips and fans, call you when she hits rock bottom
Watch him get in a jam, he claims he's innocent, but you know your son's a liar
Watch her develop while you tryna catch up, it's 21 years but arriving
22, look he grew, he's not the man you knew, now he's a man that's just like you
Lovin' the pen, you knew God had a plan for you, now you think Jesus forgot you
Look at the fam you grew, God had a plan for you, when you thought Jesus forgot youReach for your goal, say what you're told
Think that you know
See what you're shown, watch it get old
