Modern educators, in certain culture seems not to realize more than ever that a well rounded, complete education demands not only training of the intellect and training of the will but also of the heart as well. In a nutshell, the formation of character is as important as the acquisition of knowledge, if you like. This is self-evidence today in many African cultures. This very problem of character and education in African culture is something of a widespread epidemic, such that what is happening in one place is always the same in another due to what looks like a basic issue, and yet, it is endangering the African moral political setting.
It must be observed that intellectual ability is never a proof in any way, that a man will be able to master the difficulties of life and will be able to adhere to the right principles of action in times of distress. This is also self-evidence, in the amount of suicide rates that oftentimes have been taken place among educated individuals, not the uneducated one.
Make no mistake, that only a strong will and a firm character that can enable a man to stand such trial unshaken, because like it or leave it, life is filled with trials, hence, the very necessity of character formation.
As it were, character formation requires in the first place, an idea that gives direction, measure, and value to an effort.
According to Monsignor William J. Kerby, the aim and ways as well as the means of education must be derived. This is because the man who aims to become a perfect Christian will of necessity follow other ways and use other means than he whose aim is only to make as much money as possible, as we have come to witness in our contemporary setting.
It must also be observed, that it requires a fair knowledge of one-self, the power of body and soul, and indeed, of one's strong and weak points, and defects. According to the old Greek saying"Know yourself", no doubt, also hold true even today.
Self-knowledge, is often offered in a learned and high-sounding phrases, but more often than not, it yields little or nothing once again and this is self-evidence in the very life of African politics, and according to the Italian adage- "Tutto fumo, niete arosto", and this simply means that, although, there great is a deal of fire, but nothing is cooking. It must be said however, that man is painfully conscious of his many shortcomings, and very often, he feels a great desire to eliminate all those obstacle that tends to obstruct his way and that have now become the way, as well as the unsatisfactory personality traits. But this was just the way to enable him to achieve greater harmony within himself and the environment he finds himself.
However, the bone of contention here, is that African education is not actually a mixture of African culture blended with Morals, in-respective of the type of moral derivative- "which is to say do unto others as you would like others to do unto you.".Of cause, African history has always had a way of bringing to light, that they know what morals concept was all about before the advent of white colonialists. And if so, they tends to left one to wonders why they seems to be struggling to come to terms with our realities, as if everything was imposed them because, where there is no way becomes the very way, taken the corruption attitude they seems to imbibe.
I just think they must all go back to the drawing board, and get down to the basics. Because it is not just possible that the white colonialists are responsible for all our problems of the like of characters and the educational system we operate for any discrepancy, politically or other wise.
The internal and external conspirators must be brought to book, because they are always there, in the family and in the society at large- do not be deceived.

It is just too wrong of her, she must treat the maid as part of her family.

It does happen that sometimes, with absent-mindedness, it never occurs to her to stand up. She must be forgiven, however on this occasion.

The topic as you can see is tagged "moral decadence" a sort of total decline in some standard of living in general terms. This is both as a family, individual, and indeed as a society. The question that may come up here is what do we do and what do we transfer to the next generation in terms of culture and standard of living, I mean inheritance. Because, often it seems to me that, there seems to be a distraction in this line of thinking in general of what is going to be our legacy.
Not that people are not aware that such concepts or ideas as a contention do not exist to be seriously addressed. Except that people don't seem to share the very spirit of collectivism of concerned, on the contrary, often they are so barged down in the direction of individualism that does not seems to solve any problem rather than to compound it. Now let me extend this further in terms of a continent of the like Africa which seems to find itself in what I choose to call il "Bivio" or the junction with so many pathways that leads, no doubt so somewhere.
What happens is that she Africa seems an individual who tends to be a is sort of getting stranded as she find itself in the junction, not knowing which part is the right way to take to get to her right destination. Of cause, this could be due to her problems embedded into a complexity of problem that tends to put her into a state of nervousness and emotionally unstable and un composed as to blame everything on others for her predicament. Some contingent and necessary truths might be available to render some insight into how to get the basic things right, but only when she is prepared to do basics. But as I said, the nervousness and emotional distraction become an obstacle of which insecurity tends to find its shadow to overwhelm the spirit of clear thinking, to even know that -you just cannot -"do any quality jump" without the basic rules, simply because others are doing it.
We as an individual, as family, and society, as I said, are just missing the point in disregarding a certain basic issue like" Moral Standard of living in our society of today, as in the concept of collectivism or individualism that tends to be playing a role without actually a well-defined role in the society today. Now how long can we really have to remain in this Bivio-or Junction- is left to be desired, as there are always praises of inexplicable strive of development, truth or false?. Of cause, there is always a choice to make between Inductive method and the Deductive Method of forward moving.
The first part is to view what looks like the discrepancies that exist and adapt the right method to confront the issues that may require the Inductive method that starts “from the Particulars problems to the Universal or General problems. On the other hand is the Deductive method that starts “from the General problems or Universal to the Particulars problems. But do not get me wrong here, because in the end, it has to do with taking responsibility by every individual, family, and society that must be accountable either individually or collectively at the end of time-because distraction has a level that must be overcome for the sake of advancement.
It seems education is having the adverse negative effects on Africans to the very neglect of their culture and tradition. Therefore, they need to take a step backward, in other to get it right, because for now, they seems to be missing the mark as long as they are eager to want to move like the others with different culture and historical background . But they must pay attention to the basics of their own environment without which it could just be a wistful thinking, although, it will always appear to the contrary.
Because the others are not without their shortcoming of which they did not relent in carry out the necessary sacrifice and if you like pay the price to get to the very level of which they are to get it right a long time ago. Make no mistake, that history always have a way of demonstrating this, be it individual or culturally. It must be observed that what they are simply doing in this level is trying to fine-tune every basic steps and if you like , carrying out some corrections where it is deem necessary and may not to have got it right, like the "climate change, due to some distractions of what must have gone wrong. The African continent, on the other, instead of learning to do the basics in their unique environment and in their own way, chose to and are now, been drawn into facing up with the general trends of mistake of those who have long gotten it right.
The result is that they are in a "junction” or il Bivio’’, in sort of confused state without knowing of which direction they want to go and are not very sure of the right thing to do domestically or otherwise. The same is true that their identity seems not to matchup with what they are doing because they do not know what part to follow with the result of what looks like an infighting politically without any form or an insight of what need to be done to solve their cultural, political and historical problems. But there is always a choice to make, which is taking the step from outside-in or taking it from inside out. The overall suggestion is that the Africans must strive to mind her business by getting its ash together without falling into the same mistake like the others who fine turning their error of judgment through which they stand to learn to doing the basics in terms of moral standard and traditions although, with peculiar reality instead of want to generalize everything and behave like others.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WITH BEST WISHES WITH LONG LIFE AND PROSPERITY.

The glimpse of the ruling idea is about the prevailing of instinct over the rational in the contemporary setting. By allowing consciously or unconsciously the outer neglect of the ocean of history to slide away, without tapping into it as if nothing is happening.
Today, for some cogent reason, l have decided, just for the sake of a reminder and posterity that the complexity of any kind must not be allowed to blindfold anyone not to cast a glance back into the ocean of history as to cool down the current heat of the contemporary setting that is ragging un-abated everywhere as it suffocate.
Nobody, l think want to be miserable, yet millions out there are more than miserable, and indeed, dying daily simply because of one reason or more. Off cause, one opt to blame the circumstances outside our control or comprehension, of which could it be money that is not enough to put things right. Alternatively, could it be the inconveniences of any kind that tend to overwhelm us. Such that even within our homes, and among friends, sometimes, we often could just get into each others nerves, adding to the already perpetuating and exacerbated problem of human conditions.
But in my observation, the ocean of history have not fail at one-time or the other to demonstrate that circumstances, although, they may have a telling effect on us
of whatever nature, but there is no gain saying, that these things that seems to make life so distasteful, and often unbearable and seems able to move through the wall of a mansion quite easily as it does through a small bungalow, can be controlled. We all know it, because one is likely to come across it any where as when you drive or walking along the roadside. To say the least, neither money nor positions can shade it from anyone. Often, the perpetrator never hides their laughter from their victim, because nothing visible can keep them from him or her when it takes place.
It is my fervent wish to make a reminder, that given an in-depth -analysis of them, it is not beyond our control. In fact, hatred, envy, cruelty, greediness, jealousy and pride are just a few of this destabilizing entity, of which materialism became their custodian. But as few they seem, but they are what they are and has tends to take control of everything and anything. And indeed, of which distraction and the spirit of dehumanization tends to enhances in their grip in an unending relationship of which there is urgent demand for a change of heart due to the long term implications.
For the sake of clarity, all such character and trait are obviously not in our circumstances, but right dawn in ourselves of which at one point, we can control them and at other time they may be beyond our controls, as we allowed them to take control of us. Of course, this is one if the reason that often times, they hurt us as they do, beyond disbelief , into the marrow of our bones, because we always have what it takes to be in control.
There is no doubt, that the life as journey is full of complexities that demand our supervision and control with all the necessary tools in our disposition, of which the ocean of history is a part through which the boat must be guided and steer into the right direction as to overcome the storm of life.
It must be observed that when distraction are allowed to prevail without supervision, any defiling touch could turn beauty into ugliness, love into hatred and hope into despair and indeed, a moment of reflection into a quasi vanishing moment and into an agonizing eternity.

OFF-LOAD THE VEHICLE ONE AFTER THE OTHER AND LOOK FOR HELP TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OUT . AND NEXT TIME, DO NOT PASS THERE DURING THE WET SEASON.

The obedience to the Word is the power of family or community strength of love which is the basis of a happy culture and independent people. It is the manifestation of individual dignity with a strong supportive family or community structure less vulnerable and less dependent on outside resources and interference. It is a structure less easily controlled and less tempted by any promise of power and material indulgence, but more connected to one another and with God. It also endow with a compelling necessity as it prevail over external negative influence with a strong and intimate equal partnership, based on mutual respect and enduring love.
The enduring love that goes a long way to sustaining individual member family or community during any challenge similar to that of love of a mother and father relationship.
The choice of our life style may vary in terms of intimate partnership, which has nothing to do with God, except in our quality of love we share in compassion, kindness, and forgiveness within the family or community structure with others in our interactions. It is this quality in our relationship that inspires individuals to feel the Glory and presence of God, through which love strives. In any created power structure which becomes an institution of authority over individual, love do not often strives because it carries with it the right and responsibility to interpret or misinterpret virtually everything.
But love can only expand within any family and community structure through the heart and mind that bring joy to all who experience it. Because God is love as the only prime creator who is the only enduring love, be it individually and in togetherness, except with those who may be under the influence of dark-energies or forces, who may be influenced in dwelling about suffering and punishment as they envision hate , instead of love which is God. It must be made clear that oppression bread anger as it create conflict between and among people. But we must be confident, not to be under the yoke of economic, religions and indeed, political slavery.

On the contrary, we must strive to relief ourselves of any imposed quilt, shame and any resultant resentment through which we remain a free man and free women. As free men/women, we can begin to experience ourselves as the kind and loving race of created being, capable of any thing with the possibility of doing any thing any human being is created to be. And this is the only avenue to arrest any form of divisiveness, separation and alienation, that replace what might be called the spirit of generosity, acceptance, friendship and service to others and to our planet -mother Earth. It is also true, that the path and authentic way is nothing short but love through which every one must come discover that “you are God, Light and Love”. And the very awareness and recognition that we are created in the image and likeness of God which demonstrate and goes a long way to dwell in the only pathway of Love which is God.

What is expected of everyone , is obedience to the word of Love which is -God, of which the definition of obedience carries with it the very idea of -subservience to others. The same is true; because human beings are endow with intelligent capable of independent thought and action, not without immerse possibility to face up with any challenges. This human condition, no doubt, offer a special challenge, not without the knowledge of what is past and future, of what may exist outside the earthly existence, but we are bound and required to find our highest level of functioning of which we are just capable and equip to carry out at any given time . In the process, we may discover the connections in our heart, that is innate in our makeup with our creator, and which is a process, through trials and error of our experience of which we discover the inner guidance which connect us to God. It is also true that we are bound by our contract with God as our creator, to live in freedom without interference and to be allowed to work through the lesson of our life time of which history cannot be ignored.

The history of a life time is not without experience of lesson of consequences of our actions that often time, outrageous and extreme, it may sound through distraction instead of reflection. Although murder may come to be understood as self-defense, and may come to be forgiven, but when the connections to the heart are completely lost, it gets connected with the dark-energy by choice and preference, but not without the possibility of a return to the fold. The possibility of return is always there through introspection, closely related to human self -reflection and examination of conscience of which human being is endowed, unlike the animals.
And in this perspective , the human life becomes valuable as the Great Plan of Soul Ascension, but not an end in itself, because there is no end in sight. In this perspective, we must encourage ourselves, not without individual effort, to alleviate the suffering of those around us and within our rich, but must also be cautioned in the process not to interfere with individual contract. According .Freire, in his (Pedagogy of the oppressed) “any attempt to liberate the oppressed without their reflective participation in the act, is to treat them as object which must be saved from a burning building”.
Although, there exist a myriad of difficulties to experience along the pathway, but it remain a project seen throughout the cosmos, as a highly respected endeavor. Therefore, we have no reason for any self-inflicted guilt or regret, because at any moment in time, we can always turn to the light, to achieve and partake in what, one might choose to called the Salvific- banquet that await everyone. The same is true, that we stand to gain the necessary relief from delusion, anguish and pain as we rise to a higher level of consciousness which is the goal of all soul in the cosmos.
It must be emphasized though, that to educate and practice freedom is not a responsibility that must be taken literarily, or pinch of salt, on the contrary, any one committed to critical understanding of freedom must be extra careful not to contribute in the act of dehumanizing. The same is true, that real freedom cannot be given but must be achieved and not without individual effort to earn it. Although authentic freedom may never be achieved, but educating for freedom becomes the only hope for any authentic change and in the empowerment of everyone in the historical and evolutionary process of a life time.

Internal conspirators aided by external conspirators resulted, not only crawling but traumatized, not without consequence, to be or not be, which is the question.

In a simple term, this could be described as a behavior of bunch people of which by unspoken consensus does not often pronounce or discuss, not even to acknowledge any given subject, be positive or negative at any given time. The “Culture of Silence, in the contemporary society is a sad phenomenon, that must be frown against in all its ramification and be prevented in its wide range of abuse in the contemporary society.

According to Monsignor Charles J. Scicluna, the teaching of Blessed Pope John Paul II, is posited as that truth of which the basis is Justice which explicate why the culture of silence or “Omerta” is in itself a very wrong and unjust in the society. Therefore, any promoter of justice must guide against what looks like a peculiar trend in the contemporary society.

It is interesting to observe that “Omerta” is a term used to describe the code of conduct of silence practiced by member of the “Mafias” click. In the “Silence of Culture” Pope John Paul II, did outlines five principles that may inform the actions of those saddle with the responsibility to investigate the allegation of any form of abuse, is to serve as the best guide, not only in the church but also in the society at large on the “Moral and Legal duty.

THE FIRST PRINCIPLE, state that “Justice is at times called truth” which implies that the culture of silence must be rejected. This is true because the principle requires the very facts to establish the “spirit of fairness” for both “the alleged victim and the accused”. There are those enemy of the truth in their “deliberate denial of known facts and misplaced concern”, such that the good name of the institution should somehow be allowed to enjoy the absolute priority, all to the detriment of legitimate disclosure of the crimes .(David Kerr,2012).

THEN SECOND PRINCIPLE, state that, “justices based on truth evoke a response from the individual conscience”. According to Mgsr. Sciclun, of which, this is the very “acknowledgment and recognition of the full truth of the matter in question, in all its devastating consequences, this no doubt, could become the very “source of the true healing for both the victim and perpetrator”.

The same is true that, although, expert in psychology may have explicate how and why perpetrators are often able to develop a “coping mechanism” such as denial, of which the fact remains that, there is no “substitute” for the liberating effect on any conscience that may emanate from “full, humble, honest and contrite acknowledgment of sin, crime

This is as a result of the very responsibility for the harm and trauma caused to the victim, family and the society at large. In this perspective, there is a “radical need” on the part of all, for the victim to be granted an audience, to understand, and to be believed and ultimately to be treated with dignity in the tiresome journeys of healing and recovery of self-confidence .

THE THIRD PRINCIPLE, is that, of which “truth generate confidence in the rule of law, while any form of disrespect for the truth could generate distrust and suspicious. But with these principles the Pontiff, must be remembered in the promulgation of, what come to be called the 2001, Motu proprio, “Sacramento rum sanctities” that tends to update and strengthen the Church’s law in dealing with allegations and incident of abuse in the society.

Therefore, it is not always enough, of the promotion of peace and order in the community, but people must be made to know that the law is being applied accordingly.

THE FORTH PRINCIPLE is the preposition through which Pope John Paul II, in his address of 1994 posited the duty of the church “towards the common good, which include the safety of the children that must be of “paramount concern, to understanding the common good” with the duty to cooperate with the state authorities and the civil society.

THE FIFTH AND FINAL PRINCIPLE of Pope John Paul II, was the respect for the Church’s guidelines that must not be distorted by any “pastoral concern” none the ‘temptation to lighten the heavy demand of observing the very law in the name of mistaking idea of compassion and mercy “

The mistaking idea that may bone out of personal compromise, because according to Mgsr. Sciclun in quoting Pope John II, “if the right of others are at stake, mercy cannot be shown or received without addressing the very obligation that may correspond to these right’. The same is true, that the honest quest for truth and justice must be the best response that can provide for the sad phenomenon of much of the current wide range of abuse of the contemporary society of today.

O Yes ! when it does happen, take heart, and be sure you know what exactly is at stake. Alternatively, change the topic, and make sure you are supervised and assisted.

These day, you see all kind of people, that often, it becomes difficult if not impossible to discern how they come to view what looks like the current Ethical-dilemma, if l may choose to call it so. The reason stern from the very fact that, as human, ( the higher type of animals) that is endown with rationality and instinct, not just an instinct of the lower type of animals. As human, we have been equipped
with all what it take to put things right as God has saddle us with the responsibility to do, instead, we no doubt, have come to be short of such expectations.
According to Vaclav Havel, he had beautifully encapsulates the very lesson we should have learnt through history, according to which without a sober and conscionable approach to human events and history, the influence and technology we have over time, tends to bred wars and fragmentation of society, genocide and despair.
Make no mistake, this has particularly created confusion in the family and society at large and become a tragic event in an era that could have used innovation, expertise and prosperity to create a conducive environment for all as required by God.
When l reflect on the problem of today compared to the days past, whether they are of economic, culture, security, political, and ecological nature, l no doubt, end up, in the confrontation with moral questions- of what action is responsible or acceptable in all of this. It becomes obvious, that in moral order, our conscience and human right tends to stand out as the most important issues that call for urgent attention. And this no doubt, centred on the prevailing societal ethos with focus on what one may choose to call the psychopathology of internal and interpersonal psychological wars, individual wants, needs, impurses and feelings.
On the educational front, it seems, that the issues of right and wrong seems to be ignored completely , just like faith and fidelity. This is true, that hope and optimism are pejoratively levelled reassurance with prohibition against a given advice. According to some school of thought, there is need to bring our behavior in line with our convictions and belief .The truth is that, often, our actions tends to contradict our beliefs. " such that an individual will invariably stop dead in their tracks and pause to think" and the benefit of this kind of thinking, no doubt, come to suggest new ways to handle personal and painful issues and conflict that hurt, upset and anger others.

Of cause, this type of behavior, help people to assume responsibility for their own behavior, at any given time, as a change to focus from my needs to that of what other immediate individual needs.
The same is true, it might help to draw attention to stop accusation and blame and give direction to a higher purpose of positive and happy human relationships.

Of cause, the very willingness of people to bring their behavior in line to their beliefs and convictions, will always, somehow put individuals where they really want be, which is a higher aspirations to more optimistic and positive life journey.

Thanks, it is really not to query man at all, on the contrary, it is just to share light on the individual called man and of who he is, as a religious man, political man, scientific man, and indeed, as a created human being, with a mission on earth.

Thanks, it is really not a query man at all, on the contrary just to share light of who he is, as a religious man, political man, scientific man, and indeed, as a created human being, with a mission on earth.

Good day to those of you, who for one reason or another, happen to be a part this multipurpose project. It must be out rightly said here that the topic of today, is " who is Man". In fact the reason for this stern from the fact that man, is a project himself, created by God with a task to project all His aspirations. But unfortunately, man seems to have failed God in this singular directive. Nevertheless, He still could not give up on man, rather come to be loved the more, in spite of this short coming. and indeed his deviant attitude . Indeed, it is in this perspective that the question of who is this singular and individual human being really is, in all its short coming, in spite of what looks like all the sacrifice God has carried out for his sake, and yet looking distracted and passive of everyone and everything around him in spite of his intelligence.

Now the word "anthropods" is the ancient Greek word that come to signify “Man". But when the term anthropology is used, it tends to express the primary preferment of that particular reality called man. Therefore, anthropology is a term used in varied context, not without significant, that often could coincide. However, this can be approximately identified in three fundamental dimension or sphere, such that the term anthropology today come to indicate the followings:-
In the first place is the " physical anthropology, that come to indicate the discipline that study man from the point of view of biological characteristic and it's physical structure, which is - semantic.

In the second place is the Cultural anthropology, and if you like, Ethnology that come to indicate the discipline that study the historical origins and the cultural manifestation of humanity.

While in the third place is the Philosophical anthropology that come to indicate the discipline that study man from the point view of it's ultimate value and his sense of life.
However, it will be observed that the philosophical anthropology, does not study what we may call the particular aspect of the existence of man, as it may well be in the empirical sense. For instance, of the like of it's biology, anatomy, physiology, sociology and economic. On the contrary, it come to occupy itself of what one may call the global question of the very significant of human existence.
As it were, the above science did tried with great precision of that organ, this and that activity and it's functions without telling us nothing of what is to be man taking globally.

Therefore, it is clear that anthropological philosophy does not seems to preoccupy with the descriptions of the function of man, none does it seems to care to interrogate of what man does, if not only, want to know who is man really, with all his historical background not without discrepancies. As it were, in spite of all the extraordinary scientific progress of man, we still could not observed and aware of the essentials of what man need to know, and why he actually exist, and in fact, this tends to continually escape everyone reflection,
,although essentially important, as it were, if he must adequately deals and come term with his reality. Of " why are we here"?.

Indeed, one of the acute thinker of the past century; a great logician of a unique fascinating scientific knowledge, did come to opined that we often feel that, even when all the possible scientific questions seems to be answered, that our profound problem will still remain untouched.

Of cause, it is the very profound problem that constitute the very object of philosophy and its discipline. And it is one of the reason why the anthropological philosophy is placed on a different plane, although, not separated so much with that of the scientific one. However, in front of these problems of the ultimate sense of the existence of man, we still can no doubt, come to assume a different attitude, even though, this may not be viewed as a contradiction in term, but still there could be differences. And the same is true, there could always find a response for any such question not without trusting, our intuitive emotion as we feed through the poetic or artistic expressions. By C.J. E.

Often time I made a mistake, I ask myself why such blunder. Soon after I remember the Greek philosopher Thales, who assert, that to know oneself, although seems comprehensible but often time, is not always an easy task. To do. It remains so, because we often resist the very task to do so. This is simply because it is a task that must be learn as a skill that required effort and time through which we can get better at it and indeed it is an ongoing process of a life time responsibility. But the attainment of self-knowledge is but a demonstration of impersonality and if you like, humility in a way. And impersonality is a factor in the practical life of man with a circle of development and experience of the most varied and often perplexing character.

As it were, impersonality has different level that ranges from the minor detachment of exercises to that of the extreme spiritual aloofness that often time, can be very striking and yet natural. But in whatever level it tends to plays out, there is always in this exercise, something that is exceedingly arresting and very influential to those who can afford to witness it at any given time in any individual life. The reason is not farfetched, as it were, from the nature of the concept of impersonality of individual in its uniqueness and often time so contrary to the ordinary well-known law of personal expression, that we are so use to in our everyday life. What I think we don’t often realize is that our fleeting impressions and if you like, the accidental associations have no fixed counterpart in a ‘real’ and stable world. The real world of phenomenon, if you like often come to be developed its own logic as to leave us to yearn for a firm metaphysical anchor that we often find difficult if not impossible to grasp in our daily life.

In this perspective, the same is also true that anyone who engages in its culture will quickly and mutedly be distinguished from his fellow individual. Because it is a complete departure from the ordinary and everyday common existence that we often resist. This stern from the fact that, it has its origin from a plane outside of that of everyday observation and thoughts, because it is the very manifestation of which ordinary consciousness almost refuse to sanction. And indeed, there is a reason for this and it is simply because it makes us aware of the divinity that overshadows our human consciousness which invite us to our heart surrender to its beneficent, although, due to our human condition, it tend to becomes difficult, but not impossible.

It must be observed, however that there is no evidence to suggest that apart from our unique human nature , there could come what looks like a prepackage with such mechanism for a meaningful self-appraisal, such as to ask any such question as -what and why certain situation is taken place, be it personal or collective. The task no doubt, rest in human ability that allows us to examine closely the very process we come to think, feel and react to everyday occurrences.

The process and concept of impersonality tends to upset any preconceived ideas and action as it rejects any form of limitation and pride of the intellectual self as to falsify the well-grounded maxim of liberal education. This is however, one of the reasons so many few individuals are disposed and willing to tread seriously upon the culture whose nature has more or less a forbidding aspect. Because often, it tends to oppose so much that which is firmly established and prized in the personal life of every individuals. Nevertheless, it remains a condition and a force of supreme value in the evolution of individual consciousness and it is a Sino Quano, the only method from which everyone that seek to walk on the partway of self-knowledge must tread.

Self-Regulation, we are told is the ability to control our behavior, emotion and our thought that enable us to do something positive and in a long-term goal. To be more specific, emotional self -regulation refers to the ability to manage a bad or disruptive emotion or impulse. And in other word, to think and reflect before acting. As it were, self -regulation enable us to avoid being disappointed and act in a way consistent with our values and who we really are at any given time.
Therefore, the ability to self -regulate as an adult is rooted in our childhood. The same is true that learning how to self-regulate becomes an important skill that children learn both for emotional maturity and, later on that could serve for social connections.
In an idea situation, a little child who throw things with an outburst of anger in any situation could grows up into a child who learn how to tolerate uncomfortable feelings without throwing anything. And later on, could grow up into an adult who is able to control his impulse, and to act in any uncomfortable feelings. Therefore, maturity in essence, reflect the ability to face up with any emotional, social and cognitive state of being conscious intellectually and the same is true, of being able to face up with threat in any environment, with patience and thoughtfulness in consideration for the needs of others people.
Self-regulation is important because it requires taken a pause between a feeling and actions, meaning taking time to think things through, thereby making plan as to wait patiently before acting. It is however, obvious that often children struggle a great deal, no doubt, with this same behavior and often adult is never left out this same singular behavior of self-regulation.
Therefore, it is easy to see how a lack of self-regulation can cause problems in any environment. This is also true that a child who yells and hit other children out of frustration will not be popular among his peers and could be regarded as an indiscipline child. And often, this could be true that an adult with poor self-regulation skill may be regarded as lacking in self -confidence and self -esteem and may eventually be having trouble handling stress and frustration in the long . And this might result in anger or anxiety and in more sever case could lead to mental health condition, if you like .
T[b]IPS FOR SELF REGULATION[/b]; -
The first step to practicing self- regulation is to recognize that everyone has a choice in how to react in any give situation. While you may feel that life has dealt a bad blow on you, but the reality is that, it is not the bad blow itself, but how you come to react to it that matters. The second step is that you must recognize that every situation has an option that may vary from a cheerful Approach, an Avoidance and a direct Attack.
BEING AWARE OF SELF REGULATION
1. You must act in accordance with your values
2. You must calm yourself when upset without being carried away by emotion
3. You must be of good cheer when feeling down or frustrated
Therefore, philosophy of the relevance and practice of self-reliance stern from the economic order that gives everyone the right to sell cheap or buy expensively. The truth is that when the rich get richer at the very expense of the poor, the poor, no doubt, must demand for a change, hence, self-regulation become very vital in such situation. The self-reliance strategy demands sacrifice by both elites and the common man in a regulated system.

An average individual person is known to lack ontological dimension, which is the philosophical concept that deals with the nature of existence and its consistency. The reason stern from the fact that man has cease to be what he was created to be, an absolute value in its own right. On the contrary, has come to be treated and regarded as a mere transitory phenomenon of reason. And that means an absolute spirit of mere "l". In this perspective, according to some school of thought, the conception of the "will" entrusted to reason by the "ldealist", is nothing but with the sole objective to destroy the very structure of man and his identity.
It must be observed, that the structure of man has to do with what he was created to be in his - religious, political and moral dimension with values. As it were, there has always be an attempt to portray in the light of what one might be called the tragedy of a superman. But in the light of the ideological concept of a person, the idealist never relent in their attempt to regard a person as a mere phenomenon of psychology, just to make him, not only an egoistic individual but also to portray him as a subjective being. But in reality, this is simply inadmissible, although understandable in all ramifications.
This is true, because when man is refused of his complete humanity, and if you like, personality, then he become an object thrown continually into a problematic world. The problematic world, of the like, of a battle front, for self-survival, and he may well not survive it, and this simply means there is a demand for a profound-deep- reflection.
It self- evidence, that the properties that often manifest in humanity, for those who care to conceive of person dialogically in relation to others are but the dimensions of his vocation, actions and communication. As regard vocation of any person, he becomes significant and unique of which nothing can substitute his reality in any form with those he relates. In the aspect of action of a person, one is engaged and subjected to certain continues action through which an attempt is made to discover and strive to survive the existential human conditions.
As it were, in the communication aspect, man come to employ verbal and non- verbal means of which language becomes the avenue with which man command in clarity his needs and thought. Of cause, thought and feelings remain unexpressed, when no language is attached. The same is often true, that man can be judged by the very efficiency of communication of words. It must be observed, however, that man's communication becomes effective, if only it reflects the mind as the true image of thought conveyed to others. In communication through any relationship with others, man come to discover a movement that reveal himself to others. The first of such experience of any individual person, is the very experience of the second person, which is "you" but when embarking on the battle of survival, it is "l" who must and will always be in favour of a person with the fondamental commitment, and moral obligation that may be applicable in the collective struggle for survival. This is true, because, it signifies the true nature of man in his complexity, who strive profoundly and intrinsically in his existence with his human condition.
Therefore, we must look forward to community or society of the future in which a person is among the community of the future "l" and of "you" which will be in solidarity with others capable of "we" in the collective struggle for true justice and freedom of which man was created.

The self-blinded stimuli are that feature of invention and exploration of any childhood in this context, which is usually trivial and of ephemeral in nature, although ipso facto not taken seriously. However, the process often involves the sense of wonder and curiosity and the very urge to seek and find that which must not be left to fade into oblivion. With the passage of time, the act is confined and made to remain as a dominant mature process of the stimulus struggle.

This mature process of the stimulus struggle often tends to overshadow the less rewarding alternative in any sane environment through which some important battle come to be fought and sometimes worn in the process or even lost but of the like of creativity. It must also be emphasized, that there is often the tendency of shortsightedness in the adult exploratory behavior that often times may come to be responsible for what one may call the measure of the level of insecurity and in the supposedly peaceful environment. Unfortunately, human being, in their rational overdoes is remarkably very smart in blinding themselves to the obvious, in particular for those things that are particularly unappealing.

In reality, it is not an overstatement to affirm here, that it is this self-blinding and if you like, the passive attitude which is mostly prevalent and in dominance, that could conceal some of the vital truth of this fact. The same is true, the passive attitude that becomes what is responsible for the contingent ambiguities in most environment in its escalation into a bigger picture as it defies comprehension and the very understanding of the true nature of things.

The tragedy, is often that even when there is collaborative effort of some kind to arrest some of this contingent problem, through the return to the average and simple life style. For instance, as to enable one to contrive and detain any means of the highly activated brains towards this direction, no doubt, there still will always remain the tendency of which certain individual will still remain vulnerable in their environment.
In addition, even if, condemn into a complex social system, which often seems to be the case, the trick might still be to ensure that we make the ult-most use of what is available rather choosing to remain passive to allow it to make use of us as it turns into environmental problem. In an attempt to pursue adequately the act of stimulus struggle, it is important to note that it is instructive to observed and select the most rewarding method of approach to derive the benefit of such process.

It must be observed, however, that the principle of balance cannot be underestimated that required a persistent focused and regulation for which we are biologically equipped. It is true, failure to do so, could manifest the tendency through which we unleash more than we are biologically equipped to cope with, of cause, history has always been emphatic about this . And make no mistake about this that the current magnificent social development with all its complexity is not without some seed of abuse, a derivative of passive attitude that left much to be desire. In the principle of stimulus struggle, the phenomenon prevalent and not adequately observed is the individual psychology involved and the pathological impact embedded in the introvert and extrovert individual that must be closely watched. It also has to do with the type of environment that sometimes we find ourselves that could be superficially and inadequately stimulating aware of it or not .

A close study also reveals that although, an individual maybe surrounded by an exciting stimulus, nonetheless, there can still be moment, in which such individual may come to be deeply immersed into his own reality and get cut up in an un pleasant circumstances. In such a way that in an instant from the very environment one found himself, an abnormal pathological and subjective condition could get one off balance. But this is psychology of which one can find himself in conscious and unconscious state of mind, and even sometimes, in a borderline situation that often come to play its role whether we aware of it or not.

It could further be observed that the tendency to be in a state of psychological starvation in the mixed of plenty, often come to reveal itself. And it does it without any cogent reason such that one can happen to manifest anti-social behavior and, in the process, becomes intensely unable to partake in any interactive session of any kind and indeed with the external world. But it is simply an indication of an acute under stimulation of phenomenon of stampo-physiological state that is always beyond our immediate control. And make no mistake, a bunch of individuals are often a potential victim of this phenomenon, although inexplicable in clear term. However, the most appropriate reaction towards such potential victims is but sympathy, instead of cold intolerance.

It must be emphasized, that in our day to day activities in virtually everything we do, is often come to depend so much on the level of the stimulus struggle, whether we aware of it or not. It sometimes can also produce the shock effect of some sudden novelty as we strive to contend with our daily individual realities. It is due to this singular reason, that sometimes with close observation, what seems daring in one moment often becomes ordinary in the next moment and even stultifying at some other moment as to even make one to forget where and when it all started. The same is true that in the process, any shock is quickly overcome as new round of style is quickly absolved, and as another stimulus is required for its replacement.

This scenario is often witnessed in the world of fashion, in whatever one may think is the daring innovation in this field, that often becomes tomorrow’s respectable asset. And this rapidly fossilized into what one might called a pompous formality as new rebellion crews emerge for a replacement as it tends to take place virtually in every department of life. It is obvious that some of these over stimulations do occur from time to time and it sometimes also put us even in an intense restlessness and bored state. When it happens, make no mistake about this, it is by no means accidental, rather, than stressed caused by gross under-stimulation which is basically equal and opposite, as we come to commit Newton’s third Law of motion into memory, hence, it is the same as stress of over-stimulation, caused by the stimulus struggle.


Therefore, both extreme are always unpleasant state to contend with, because, such state of mind can result to stereotype response, as we strive in the process to escape back into the comfort and balance zone just to moderate the stimulation which is objective in its own right. Some of us, however, often think that it is better to cast an envious backward glance at some simple life style of the past with the wish that it could have been maintained. But the reality is that any serious attempt made in this direction may prove inaction, of which much as one may tends to manifest some kind of sympathy with such reflective undertaking, there is, no doubt, that it has its shortcoming that may eventually condition an expectation with high level of mental activities.

It is this same irrefutable compelling spirit of the stimulus struggle that made Erasmus, we are told, to read in the moonlight, just because he could not afford even a torch or candle and had to beg for a penny, not for the love of charity, but for the love of learning to acquiring knowledge as to balance this element of the stimulus struggle.

It must all come to pass!- {Happy birthday with the best wishes with long life and prosperity.

At any point in time, the “Cross” remains the place and moment of where the sacrifice overcomes everything. This is not only in the Christian perspective but also in the ordinary fault finding situation or an attempt to make any individual a victim of one thing or the other. In its final analysis, this culminated in the announcement and realization of this in our Lord Jesus on the Cross. Because, if there were any problem at all, it is this problem that Christianity have come to an end, in making this known and embarking to spread other visions in the necessity and consequence of exaltation of the sacrifice.
Then the interpretation of being responsible and the inability to recognize that it is the cross that actually put to death the sacrifice is another matter. And if this was so, the question to ask is, is there a risk in the separation between Christianity and history? The answer is no, this is simply because the cross is the liberation, and not condemnation in term of the theological thought from St. Augustine to St. Thomas Aquinas and Kierkegaard. In this perspective, it seems the sacrifice has come to lost its value. But the reality is that the question that remains is another, which is the ambiguities that exist between donation and sacrifice through which it also make sense in Nietzsche in his pathological characteristic of the so called the –“Religious man. Although, one may not partake in such idea-or interpretation even if it has some valid element.
The sacrifice, in this context tends to find its place in the logic of cheat and in the very context of economy that has tends to cut short of the actual suffering that becomes the work of compensation for the future as a form of retributive mechanism. The donation in the other hand tends to be subtracted from this logic because it is the act that finds in itself the reason, -to-be in the dimension of absolute dedication of a model that Nietzsche used as the connection between mother and a child. It is exactly this connection that takes place on the Cross after it has being prefigured in the sacrifice of Isaac.
There is a reason as to why this episode of Ancient Testament, of which some philosopher of old became so passionate about in the nature of the suspended sacrifice of Isaac. The fact that Abraham did not cut the body of Isaac, simply means, that the victim is not Isaac but the device of the sacrifice. In this context, the son becomes “insacrifisable, and the same is true that man in his “singularity” as a Being is forever subtracted from being sacrifice as he comes to represent the most important acquisition of Christian Politics.
But why politics, one might ask, this is simply because the mystery of the sacrifice has being the basis of political ideology from the Ancient authoritarian till the present contemporary fundamentalism of our time. The moment we come to the awareness that the “sacrificial spirit” is also outside Christianity, it becomes very difficult, if not impossible to want to get rid of any man in the name of any presupposed “idea”. Because deep down, there remain the awareness that in every human Being could be found the very face of God, and indeed, as the image of God that permit a reciprocal relationship that fertilized the character of awareness of the –“insacrifisable” and singularity as an individual human Being in every man.
THE COMMON GOOD; -The notion of common good can provide what one may called the touchstone of domestic program with hopeful and realistic favorable economic condition without resulting to any excessive consumption more than we can produce. In this perspective, there is a need for a vision that may assist to reshape the public opinion in this direction. Such vision is necessary in a decaying society like ours today to project the kind of a future that envisaged for the coming generation in order to govern effectively. However, it requires a Coherent and inclusive visions, with public philosophy that may provide the means of adequate understanding that sympathize, not to oppress but with the sole aim and objective to foster a unique governance, such that the vision would acts as a power to govern. This is true when measured and persuasively advocated with a strong sense of public good, not with the intent to legitimize in pursuit of self-interest in the form of large-scale private acquisitiveness with continues eulogizing, with the result of large-scale permissiveness and repression, not at all.

In this perspective, it is with the mindset of a long term and viable foundation to be laid with significant structural reform as oppose to what one might called the technocratic fine-turning system that often fail to address the main issues of the common goods. Because in the face of the current challenges and in what looks like intractable problems of various kind, there is the need to look out for a new opportunities in our mind of what is appropriate to ask as to whether it is time to have a change of direction, a sort of an opening and restructuring of what is left and needful. Of course, the current problems are of peculiar nature and have to be treated as such, no two way about it. The theme-“common good “when effectively represented in word and action, no doubt, could breathe a fresh air into our mind-(sense of inclusiveness)-that we all expect that would allow us to consider our problems in a new way that hang with it, but not without a long term optimism.
However, there seems to be two ways in what looks like a double – barreled weakness in the present predicament and they are centered in the economy and position which is but to remind our fellow citizens in clear terms, of the need for a common commitment and standard for the sake of posterity. The same is true that, this can be done, by recalling our common history and records of our past achievement, and why not, of past our failure and defeat, if you like. It can be done best in schools and conferences, encouraging citizens to actively join with others to positively generate a vigorous debate, towards an inclusive democratic climate as a catalyst for a significant and not without enduring positive change. Currently, there is an overwhelming demand for what I may call, a more broaden focus gear toward common good that required a new vision for public deliberation that also can serve as public awareness gear toward a radical reform to reshape our democratic culture.

When it seems we have got to a stage where we can easily feel and afford to sit back and take a rest, we discover we could not just do it for various existential reasons. On the contrary, we find that we are often being forced to pursue what come to be known as the life stimulus struggle, aware of or not. The reason is not always far fetch, due to the fact that most times, we are always up for a new idea and a new pursuit as we tend consistently and constantly, either moving too far in one direction or not far enough of which the prevalent end result is often a complete confusion of the state of mind.
In the process, as it were, we may come to be over stimulated and reactive as to gear up to engage in one type of activities or the other, positive or negative as the case maybe. In this context, one could revert to one painful extreme to the other as to indulge in one profitable action that may eventually bring one to a point of more optimum stimulation of activity. The same is true, that in the other side of the spectrum, are those who may get themselves indulge even in the unprofitable platform with the negative stimulation as to get even more committed to the unexpected ugly side of event. In spite of what looks like a pendulum like swinging of event, there are still those who may be able to maintain a steady center cause just like those who may not be able, as to instead find themselves in a swinging back and forth on either side of the pendulum for no fault of theirs and without a tangible result.

This reality can be deduced from any individual psychology, through which any one can be assisted through a process of adjustment as to come to term with this individual reality. It is also true that taking for instance, an individual from the country side, who have been living in a quite environment and a peaceful atmosphere; of cause, such individual may, no doubt, come to develop the habit of tolerance, for a low-level life of activities over time. On the opposite end, may be an individual from down town busy metropolis, and when thrust suddenly into a quiet and peaceful countryside with low level life of activities, will definitely and quickly find it boring and irritating to the extent that it could even be unbearable and verse versa with the individual from the countryside.

In other to contend with this state of affair adequately to the balancing principle of the stimulus struggle, it is imperative and profitable for such provision of adjustment, a kind of movement or routine activity that act as a stimulation or dissimulator as the case maybe. It is interesting to observe, however that often we seem very much less sympathetic and hostile toward those who find it difficult to adjust to low level of activity depending on which side of the divide we may find convenience to our level. The same is true that, often, a bored individual can sometimes irritate us, then overburden and harassed individual, of which the question is what could be responsible for such judgment, if not psychological.

There are contingent answers as it were, for such question, of which the more prominent in psychological term is due to lack of effective tackling of the stimulus struggle components that reside our disposal which are not adequately paid attention to in our day to day leaving. Sometimes, the manifestation of any negative judgmental attitude, of any two individuals is often, the result of a failure from the stand point of objectivity from both end of the spectrum.
And from their inability to effectively make use of the stimulus struggle concept from the objective point of view. The consequence of this, is often an irritation, intolerance and bad tempered of the individual concerned in the process. It is true that we are often prone to be sympathetic and forgiven towards the over-labor individual than those who are not. The reason for this could be as a result of not pushing the level a bit high enough to show that our culture is advancing. It will be observed that when we perceive the urge of stimulus struggle in a more balance direction, we become exploratory in our moment of introspection and the tendency to provide variation will not be lacking but immediate. The result of this is often obvious, when some level of attention is paid, in the exposition of the individual concerned in an exciting mood with objectivity. This is true, when in particular, an adequate intrinsic adjustment is adhered to at its high level, at any particular point in time in any environment.

It must be observed that the exploratory innovator type of individuals, as often come to be called, are not always happy due to their tendency to have to suffer a great deal of some psychological prototype. The psychological prototype relative to the environmental pressure coupled with the driving force of the like of impatient to conceive of any imaginary events. In the process, this could also result to the very consequence that may lead to a crisis of mental imbalance and disorientation due to mental overload, as it often come to called.

We must bear in mind that the aim and objective of the stimulus struggle, is self-evidence, even though, it may not appear an immediate progress with great achievement obtained, but an individual concerned will always experience an easy and disconnected and balanced environment. The same is true, that any sacrifice made toward this direction, will always manifest some form of especial tolerance and empathy with a unique sensibility towards the environment and everything else.

It is also true that this is not without adequate response toward any kind of frequent moody and incomprehensible wayward like behavior that is prevalent in any immediate environment. Sometimes, it is intuitively recognizable, that the inevitable outcome of unbalance stimulus in which most individual find themselves often have to due to this adverse effect.

It is interesting to emphases, however, that the adult stimulus struggle is very similar to that of the child’s play of which the parents often have the obligation to take care of any such problem. During the process, there is always a great deal of left-over energy to be dissipated toward positive direction or the very opposite. Through these playful activities of any child, is the accumulated energy to be dissipated in pursuit of the stimulus struggle. On the adult, the same energy often come to be dissipated through the various avenue employed in pursuit of the stimulus struggle of which most prevalent is the act of invention of new pattern of behavior. In any growing child, for instance, in playing activity, is such that every single move of their action performed, is often geared toward an unlimited invention and excitement. Evidently, this becomes a voyage of discovery of self, in his ability and capacity to explore the world around him.
It is interesting to emphasize that due to the level of reasoning, the inventiveness and exploratory act of the stimulus struggle may not be the specific objective of the growing child. But it remains the predominant feature and often the most valuable extraction from any playful activity of any growing child in this process.

It must also be emphasized that, if history has anything to offer, it is this positive aspect of the stimulus struggle which led to what happened, of which we were told, this sense of stimulus sounded through Europe like the blast of an archangel’s trumpet of which, history has it, that from king to ordinary peasant, that there arose an enthusiasm for knowledge as never before.
It was this spirit of the stimulus struggle that led to what many come to be known as the discovery of some manuscripts of age past that later become the very subject of embassy and according to history, it was what led even Dante of Italy to imagine himself a humble follower of Virgil and Ariosto of Homer. It is this same irrefutable compelling spirit of the stimulus struggle that made Erasmus, we were told, to read even in the moonlight, just because he could not afford even a torch or candle and had to beg for a penny, not for the love of charity, but for the love of learning and acquiring knowledge to balance this element of the stimulus struggle that arouse in him.

There is a great deal of lip service being paid to the role of integrity in the corporate and societal system today. Although integrity as a concept tends to mean different things to different people and it varies based on circumstances. In this context the paper is going to focus on individual integrity and its importance and the need to create a culture of integrity.

When we talk of an individual integrity, we are talking about character of a person, our trust and belief in an individual. When it comes to corporate or societal level, we are talking here about leadership that have what it takes to created a corporate culture of integrity that produce consistency, trust and predictable result. It will be an understatement to say that integrity, both of individual as a leader and of corporate culture is necessary for a long term success and corporate sustainability.

As an individual, integrity is about character of the individual, because it is the character that must be consistently considerate, compassionate, honest, transparent and indeed ethical. These characteristic must be closely associated with integrity, although, the definition of integrity may seems vague, but yet we characterize an individual with integrity as one we can count on to do something consistent and rightly of what is expected of such individual.
This is because, an individual with integrity is someone that can be reliable, predictable in dealing with issues and indeed, a defender of what is fair and acceptable.
According to a renowned psychologist, Dr, Robert. Turknett, integrity is the foundation of the model, of which without integrity, no leader can be successful. The same is true, that an individual with integrity does not twist fact for personal advantage, rather would be willing to stand up in defense of what is right and would be careful to keep promises. It is an individual to be trusted to tell the truth at any given time.

As model, integrity becomes the foundation of leadership that requires a very careful balance between respect and responsibility. Op-cit. When talking of corporate culture of integrity, it must start from the top and be seen in the conduct and activities, such that on the leadership level, it develop a consensus around a shared value that improves the work environment and productivity.

The power of Attitude can be found in Proverb 23;6-7, of which it can make us or brake us, and can heal us or hurt us. The same is true, that it can make us friends or can make us enemies. It can make us happy or miserable or make us a success or a failure in the journey of life. It is also true, that often times, the whole world stinks, but however, there is a narratives that says, about the cranking grandpa, who lay down to take a nap. But to have a little fun, the grandson has to put some limburger cheese on his mustache, just right under his nose. But when grandpa finally wake up, he shouted as loud as he could, -“the whole house stink !. He could not stop there; he shouted more loudly, the whole world stinks. But you know what the truth is, that it was grandpa who stunk or who is stinking. Simply because the problem was right under his nose.

The same is true, that when we think or feel that things in life stunk, the problem is not with the world or others but right within us, due to our attitude that has become so high in negativity. Because the moment we change our attitude to negative the whole world stinks but when we have a positive attitude, the whole world changes and no longer stinks. Now, how important is our attitude? Really, our attitude is more important than facts, circumstances, and what other may say about us at any given time. The same is true, it is more important than our past, than our education and indeed than our money. But we must understand that our attitude is much deeper than just a few of our thought or what we might think. Because our attitude comes from the very core of our being and it represent our disposition, our outlook and indeed, our character. This is because, our attitude often reveals who we really are according to Proverb 23; 7, “For as man thinks in his heart, so he is… (NKJV).

It is self-evidence, that it is not always easy when the stuff of life takes a knock on us, as to even kick one in the stomach. But at any such time, we must remember that there is something, that any type of situation cannot take away from you, and that is the power to choose your own attitude any given time. The very idea to blame our bad attitude on others or a difficult circumstance is but a false claim and outright lame excuse. The truth is that we must be on guide not to allow any event and people to cause us to put up with a negative attitude, otherwise, we only hurt ourselves the more with the effect and misery of the baggage our bad attitude may bring with it. But make no mistake that the awesome power to manipulate or choose our attitude is always the first thing in our disposition at any given time.

Therefore, the irony of our age stern from the very fact that in an age of much progress, what purpose could have appear more evident than the increase in the wellbeing of those who most need them , although, there remain an infinite scope of disagreement as to what means might be most effective to attain such end. The advent of globalization has given rise to the contrasting approaches of market –based macro-economic from work that has been the foundation of good governances on the one hand, and the sustainable human development on the other. Although, the later tends to put premium first on enhancing human capabilities and spreading the benefit of economic growth without much compromise of the need for the future generation.
Consequently, there is a paradox posed by individual desirable approaches which inevitably is at the center of this concept. As Goethe famously observed, “boldness has genius, magic and power in it”. The current reality call for boldness more than ever in support of any courageous act and fearless heart that remains open no matter what for the sake of collective good. The open heartedness that mitigate against defensive posturing and loss of faith that may be the foundation, if we choose, that enable clarity of effort and sense of direction that may have been lacking overtime.

Therefore, we must guide against the seed in our heart crusading for a cause without thought or respect for those who are on different cause. Because no matter how right we may feel, no matter how true our perspective may sound, but to continue to insist others share it, is in itself to reveal the very lie that perpetuate the conflict we are seeing around us today. We must take the first step, for others to emulate in our positive attitude to enhance the spirit of collective interest in what looks like, in deficiency and decaying situation .

Living up to our responsibility, could also mean that the only key and the centre and purpose of all human history is to be found in our creator. This is so, because beneath all the changes, are some other things unchanging, wether we are conscious of them or not which have their ultimate foundation in the creator and the son of man, which is the same yesterday ,today and forever.

In the light of this, through Christ who is the image of the invisibles God, we must be be able to address ourselves, to shed light on the mystery of man, as we strive to cooperate to finding a lasting solution to the problem of human conditions, in the maintenance of the freedom and service to his creator.

We must have perceive by now, through the history of man that what we tends to have in common is more important than any differences that might exist between us human.
Therefore, it is also true that in the light of this, it is possible that any doctrinal dispute can always be replaced by fruitful discussion and authentic dialogue in overcoming some of the vast complexity of the emotions that tends to stir and sway the heart of men.
It seems obvious that the future is a combination of the casual influence of our past with the unpredictable unforseen elements, such that, it is unpredictable, not merely because it is unpredictable to abtain any data of prediction, but because there is no such data connected causally with our experience which have been found to exist in the history of man.
The same is true, that we must not forget to remind ourselves that we should not seek for any worldly mission remote in time and space, because the truth must be said, that our mission lies just right where we are in the heart of humanity, but not in some distance and remote place or some momentous occasion.
However, we should know by now that God tends to work in a mysterious way, even though, we tends not to pay much
attention in our distractions, as we overlook virtually everything down to our fellow human being, not without the thought, that often time, that our true mission in life is to be revealed in some remarkable psychic vision.
Of course, it is clear, we only mislead ourselves in what looks like in a consumate ideas, instead of some token of positive gesture toward men and women,family and friends and acquittance that look forward for a need that gives us the opportunity to reveal our service to God.

At any given time, the task that is required of us may seems very little and simple, but millions of our fellowmen and women need them all the same, because they must leave to grow out from the shackles of human conditions, because God is not oblivion, hence, the demand as a token of service from everyone, which leads us to a greater light.

A hearty congratulation to our President on his 80th birthday with the best wishes.

Human condition, demand that, it is high time, we seriously have to ask the deeper question of man, as an image of God. Today the strains under which the world labours are, no doubt, connected with this fondamental question with the result of tensions.

There are in everyone this tension of several element which are in opposition. This is because, we feels ourselves limited in several ways, but at the same time, is this awareness of our unlimited aspirations of the call to a higher life.

The fact remains that when we are attracted to so many things, we bound to make choice to reject some and accept others, and this is bone out of human nature.

Although, we are sinful and weak, yet we are saddle with the responsibility to do what we would prefer not to do and fail to do what we would like to do, that seems beneficial to our wellbeing.
The consequences of this is that we divided against ourselves and others around us, as a result of which we lay the very foundation of discords that eventually, as a process, build up a society, full of contradictions.

It seems obvious, that many of us today, who in practice, are so absolved into what one may called materialistic bedrock, becomes so distracted from this internal drama or contradiction of man, at least, for any extreme want, of which often, we have no time to think about it.

The truth is that, due to this contradiction of man as the image of God, through which emanate the conflictuality, we are often forced to find refuge in various general theories and principles as we tends to move on with life.

Inspite, of this shortcoming, there are still those of us who are hopefully optimistic, about the Future of man as the true image of God, such that, with human effort, and taken responsibilities, all what God required of man will come to be melt.
Needless, to add that in the face of the various present day events, more people still feel deeply the very need to ask the fondamental questions of what is man and the meaning of pains and death, inspite of our material progress.

It must be bone in mind, however, that as human with the image of God of which man is privilege to be honoured, so long as equal attention is not paid authentically to the spiritual aspect, thus, the material aspect will only continual to strive in vain, and in particular, when we refuse to pay the need attention to (Isaiah 55, verse 8-11).
l think, it is so emblematic to note ! my word will not return to me idle, it will accomplish my will, the purpose for which it has been sent.

Therefore, whether we like it or not, we must acknowledged that Christ Jesus has come to live an exemplary life for us to imitate and eventually dead and rose again just for our sake, and we are not told another will be coming to dei again, and he left with us His spirit to strengthen our effort which is enough to live up to our responsibilities.

Humor as we are all aware is present in every culture or groups and its context also varies across culture. The same is often true, that Jokes do not often translate into what we expect, due to differences in social structure and cultural norms. Often, there is no universally accepted manner of Joke, and the same is true that what is funny in one culture may not be amusing in another culture, - Michelle Brenner, (2016).

It may not be necessary to move to another country to have a taste of a cross cultural experience, because in today world, our home, work and school and shopping mole are all –contexts of diverse cultures. Cross cultural management is taught in business as well as management schools but not in international market area, but in relation to managing teams within organization.

Often, culture evolves from like-minded groups or individuals as a shared values and experiences. It is true we have common share history with meaning, but often taken for granted, that evolve into a complex culture.

It is also true that to mediate, it is not always necessary to know the in-and-out of all the cultures, to be able to act a mediator. Because it is a part of our business to know of the very dynamic of culture, context, and communication, as well as how this impact on conflicts. Therefore, the key to cross cultural communication is through the dynamic of directional awareness, of whether the communication is moving toward constructive or destructive direction.

For instance, when a communication is moving towards a destructive direction, take a breath and see if the cultural differences in meaning is been overlooked and at what level from one party and seen as critical factor by the other party. And what we must pay attention to is the context and information overload that are so related at one point or other.

It must be observed that often, there is culture shock in crises of knowing that one is shocked into unexpected different awareness. This is always the moment one may feel out –of depth and aware that something is terribly wrong. Then comes the culture stress which is a term used to describe the overload of information which occurs as we relate to a new culture. But culture stress is more of a long term adaptation of a process. In order to communicate in comfort, we must communicate and relate to others to be taken for granted with a sense of knowing and been known, that do not required a lot of attention.

It is often true that when there is ongoing attention and awareness required to grasp what is really taken place or happening, we are unable to just take for granted the meaning, because of being met with dissonance or finding ourselves in the cold. The period of adaptation required information processing that may be stressful like -“an air traffic controller” (ref. -M. Brenner).

According to Anthropologist Edward T.Hall-(1951-1955), - “what one pays attention to and what one does not attend to is largely a matter of context”…And contextual awareness is developed through culture. According him- “Almost everyone has difficulty believing that the behavior they have, is always associated with human nature, but is not with human nature at all but learned behavior”- Opcit.

And according to Darley and Bateson, 1973, “context determines human behavior more than personality”.

This same is true that being in hurry is often the reason to walk past a person lying on the pavement, and it means the context of being in a hurry is the reason rather than that of the personality that is not caring.
It must be observed that it is the context that is feeding the meaning of the word, because context is a hidden language, through the neuroscience, being understood through spreading or (contagion) emotions. For instance when you yawn, it makes me yawn. According to Donald Hebb, a Neuropsychologist, “neurons that fire together, wire together”. This simply means, the more we use our brain, the more it becomes a habit and a comfort zone. The same is true, when we get use to the habit of mixing and communicating in a high context cultures, our brain will also get use to drawing meaning from that context.

But if we are used to communicate in a low context culture, we cannot be turning into the context to understand what is being communicated, because those neurons that do not fire together cannot wire together. In other word, it is a process and a continuum between high context and low context cultures, of which High context cultures draw its meaning and interpretation from context that surround an interactions or events. But Low context culture, on the other hand draws its meaning from information from only what is just present. However, it must be observed that no culture ignores high or low context except that they often tends to buttress higher or lesser values.

A healthy congratulations .

It is very unfortunate, that average African man do think he need only to protect his money. And unfortunately these day, we see the bags of money protected rotten away, as we have seen in posted videos.
