Redefined Love: Acceptance, Tolerance, and Not Replacement

 




Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga


Love is often misunderstood as a fleeting emotion or physical attraction meant to satisfy oneself. Yet, true love is about prioritizing the happiness and acceptance of your partner above your own desires.


Redefining love means embracing acceptance, tolerance, and selflessness. Your first love task is to satisfy your better half, and in return, they will do the same for you.


Acceptance


Accepting your partner for who they are, without trying to change or mold them, is the foundation of redefined love. This unconditional love and acceptance will inspire your partner to grow and change for the better. I guarantee it!


Tolerance


Tolerance is not about enduring your partner but about being patient, understanding, and compassionate. Recognize that everyone has struggles and imperfections, and that's what makes life interesting.


Not Replacement


Redefining love means letting go of the idea that your partner needs to be replaced to find true love. Your partner is not a temporary fix but a lifelong companion.


A Lasting Bond


When you focus on acceptance, tolerance, and inner strength, you build a foundation for a lasting and fulfilling relationship. True love is about finding someone who makes your heart sing, and in return, you'll do the same for them.

My obituary to Rev E Kamupira

      Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga   Rev E Kamupira was my childhood model of Christianity, his teachings resonated well and shaped my beliefs. I knew Rev E Kamupira since my Sunday School days at St Stephens Chitungwiza Circuit. Sundays weren’t   the same each time Rev Kamupira came to preach.   Rev Kamupira was a product of United Methodist Church crusade of teachings though he had a Pentecostal touch that kind of made him popular   within and without of United Methodist Church. His fearless gospel suited well with congregants in an independent Zimbabwe.   From hearing   his teachings far away from the terraces I ended up privileged sharing the same church with Rev Kamupira in Waterfalls. I had also rose to a promising Administrator in the United Methodist Church. I had a mutual relationship with Elison Kamupira. We discussed our church current affairs and shared the gospel. Rev Kamupira was a very respectful person who ...

It’s Not The End Of The World

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga    This story is based on a true story and I have edited names so that someone is inspired out there. Resilience makes great changes in people's lives, don't commit Suicide     Fadzai sat on the edge of her bed, feeling empty and defeated. She had never felt so alone in her life. Thomas’s brief and dismissive response on the phone had left her reeling. She thought about her daughter, Rungano, who was now misbehaving at school, and how she was struggling to cope with the absence of her father.   Thomas had gone to South Africa for greener pastures leaving Fadzai with their only daughter behind. The plan was to relocate to South Africa as soon as Thomas had settled. In the first six months Thomas supported Fadzai with groceries, school fees and rentals. A shift began after Thomas had started seeing other women in South Africa. Thomas started sending money enough for rentals, school fees and a few groceries. The...

Greener Pastures Do Not Secure A Fat Cow

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Just like cows seeking greener pastures, humans are drawn to opportunities that promise better living standards. However, I pose a critical question: do greener pastures truly guarantee prosperity if the underlying conditions are flawed? Perhaps the lack of progress is not due to the absence of opportunities, but rather the result of haphazard approaches, poor planning, and neglected resources. In the pursuit of a better life, many Africans seek opportunities in diaspora, enticed by promises of higher salaries and improved living standards. Yet, I firmly believe that true fulfillment and lasting impact can only be achieved by addressing the underlying conditions that hinder our progress in our own autonomous land – a land where we have territorial integrity. These underlying conditions include : 1. Absent value creation mechanisms : Failing to harness value from our resources and talents, instead relying on others for validation. 2. Disunity : Lac...
