Reality, Seldom But Won’t Forget to Visit

 






Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga 


Deception is easy to spread. A word that is untrue is very easy to share and easy to believe. Facts usually take time to verify, and often they’re countered by lies spreading before. By the time facts are ready, lies would have caused enough damage, and it becomes difficult to change. So, words that spread fast should be treated with suspicion.


The aftermath of deception is where reality visits, leaving scars and lessons. It’s in the broken trust, the lost opportunities, and the shattered reputations. Reality may be slow to arrive, but its impact is profound, reminding us that truth, though delayed, will ultimately prevail.


Deception VS Facts


The contrast between deception and facts is stark:


1. Deception spreads like wildfire, often gaining traction before truth catches up.

2. Facts, on the other hand, build gradually, relying on evidence and verification.

3. Deception often thrives on sensationalism, exploiting emotions with juicy gossip or defamatory claims.

4. Facts focus on issues, providing balanced perspectives without resorting to personal attacks.


Let’s refine our approach to information sharing and discourse by prioritizing facts, critical thinking, and responsible communication. By doing so, we can create a more informed and thoughtful environment for meaningful conversations and decision-making. When the truth finally finds itself, we’ll stand on solid ground, guided by evidence and integrity, ensuring we won’t be found on the wrong side.

The Power of Family Influence

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga The African proverb "charity begins at home" takes on a deeper meaning when we consider the profound impact of family on our lives. As I reflect on my own experiences, I realize that the values, beliefs, and behaviors we learn from our families shape us in ways that are both visible and invisible.   As a former restaurant manager, I noticed that people's behavior in public spaces was often a reflection of their home environment. Some patrons would leave the toilet spotless, while others would leave it in disarray. The effort we put into maintaining hygiene in our kitchens is often mirrored in our public behavior. This observation led me to realize that our family's influence extends far beyond our childhood years.   Our parents' behavior, expectations, and values are imprinted on us from a young age. We mimic their actions, adopt their beliefs, and internalize their criticisms. As we grow older, we begin to make choic...

Resilience: The Key to Navigating Life's Challenges

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga (FFF)   Life's no paradise – resources are scarce, competition's tough, and adversity's constant. But it's how we respond that defines us. Resilience is the ability to bounce back, to sweep away trouble and hold firm to gains. I once had a business in my 20s that did well in the short run, but when I sought support from a wealthy relative to expand, I was labelled lazy. I fought back, true to their word I became unpopular. Later, I realised people look at what you've achieved, not what you promise. I refocused, sought trusted support, and bounced back – refuting allegations of laziness. Each challenge's a battle; each win builds confidence. You don't start winning big battles, but small wins accumulate. Employers seek elasticity; vision falls on resilient people. As I was ridiculed and falsely accused, I gained favour with people in good time. Adversity may conquer, but bouncing back is resilience. Life's short. Elastic...

Unavailability Of An Official Music Distribution System Depriving Upcoming Musicians.

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga FFF   Music is important to our lives, I personally would not function well if all the music in the world is quietened. Actually it’s naturally impossible to stop all music playing. Have you ever walked into a thick forest alone. An unknown bird will volunteer to entertain you. Maybe the ability to choose the music you prefer is what can be affected but otherwise music will always play,  no one can ever stop music. Singers and musicians get inspired by a lot of societal happenings, with the intention to inform, tell a story and entertain musicians reveal complicated issues that are not easily communicable in public. They make songs out of unpalatable subjects and mitigate their effects to the society in the process.  Oliver Mtukudzi sang Tozeza Baba. The song is a narration of children’s perception of their abusive father who beats up their mother. The children express how this vacuums out their happiness. Weather the song has been played ...
