Sibling rivalry will be the end of families

Image
Siblings and their mother.Photo/Credit One day I will write about what has inspired me to post this but for today, please read and keep this in your mind, sibling rivalry is a death bed.I have sourced this article from Wikipedia. Sibling rivalry is a type of competition or animosity among siblings, whether blood related or not. According to observational studies by Judy Dunn , children are sensitive from the age of one year to differences in parental treatment. From 18 months on siblings can understand family rules and know how to comfort and be kind to each other. By 3 years old, children have a sophisticated grasp of social rules, can evaluate themselves in relation to their siblings, and know how to adapt to circumstances within the family Sibling rivalry often continues throughout childhood and can be very frustrating and stressful to parents. Adolescents fight for the same reasons younger children fight, but they are better equipped physically and intellectual

My ordeal off the blog

I feel that I have to use this phrase, 'while I was away'.I have not posted a piece of my so called 'wide' mind in over a month.This was not I have not tried Faiba, but because I thought I had too much on my hands to write. Anyway in that period I have learnt a very important thing, there is never enough time to accomplish and achieve what one sets to, all you need is squeeze your issues in the 24 hours we all have. During the one month, I did a lot of 'straightening' of my lifestyle, starting with quiting liqour.I hope my lovely Mercy will now believe this now that I have included it.One message on a quiet weekend has helped me realize all the wrong things liqour was bringing into my life, though I already knew most of them. I also decided that soon, and its very soon,  am going for a one man- holiday to a place am yet to settle on.This whole year I have dedicated my days to work work work, and even on the weekends I am not working I have been run

My 'dirty and clean' friend

courtesy   My people say you go but In heart you remain Things look and feel different now The hugs and chats are no more But I smile because of our clean secret It was an honour knowing you neighbour Neighbours who never met Friends who shared and will share even the dirtiest But I smile because of our clean secret Make it happen in the other end I will join you, or be your neighbour Because happiness and smiling were my emotions But I smile because of our clean secret

But i will rise

Stressed man.Photo/Courtesy I cried because it was all I could They new I was capableBut enjoyed see me go to waste Little id I know He was watching But I will rise Life was miserable by any definition Nice on the outside but inwards bleeding Tears filled in a large heart Nobody knew I was going to waste But I will rise Looks can really be deceiving That I learnt after I saw a young soul dry Passion and will melt to the soil Even sand was now absorbent But I will rise He wrote about that place Experiences only beasts would take Kept fighting for a firm standing But the push was always too strong But I will rise

Prime Love it is.

Thoughts.Photo/Courtesy When first we touched, My heart flew high, On the eagles' wings through a cloudless sky. They said it was built upon a lie. For when when we touch, wings grow in me. They told me my feelings would surely fade. Passion would flare and foes would be made. Can you not put the pass behind? For when when we touch, wings grow in me. Real love can change a rivers course, Pierce the strongest vault with ease. True love can turn lame to funny jokes, Or tame a hybrid to a gentleman, Only time will tell the critics, For when when we touch, wings grow in me. They now emulate what we do, Hoping to get love but landing on lust, But all I do is look and smile, As the lighter is in your hands, For when when we touch, wings grow in me.

My time is now, no running

From my beside I watch them snatch They fight to tear me apart My insticnts always guide my thinking They know I will prevail Determined look.Photo/courtesy My mind shows them its strength They know all that is needed is opportunity No one is born a fighter They know I will prevail My body fails in consistency Eyes swollen with sleep My legs and neck weak They know I will prevail My pillar smiles at my sight Hoping that I change their life My spirit keeps my dreams alive They know I will prevail

MAWE Chair and Jay Z's advisor says no to gay stoning

Image
Maendeleo ya Wanaume organization Chairman Ndiritu Njoka has opposed the bill seeking to have gays stoned in public stating its unconstitutional and against religious values. “We must fight social vices like gay-ism but not celebrate their pain by treating hem like animals,” he stated. MAWE Chair Ndiritu Njoka.Photo/Courtsey Njoka also doubted the sponsorship of the bill saying that some of the clauses in the bill were included to ensure the bill is not enacted to law. “The clauses that state that a foreigner should be stoned and a citizen jailed for life clearly show that the sponsor of the bill wanted to ensure that it was not passed to law,” he stated. Njoka blamed the Legal and Justice committee for having dropped an Anti-Homosexuality bill drafted by Maendeleo ya Wanaume that he said had punishment for such crimes within the constitution. “In March we drafted a bill that was constitutional and Parliament ignored it and this suggests that the

A journalist' mental block

Mentally blocked guy Photo/Courtsey I am looking towards the end of the day, simply because it’s my weekend off which is what every employee looks forward to. Then the General (a colleague) starts complaining of Mental block and this makes me realize am also suffering from the same. I have not had an idea on anything for my blog till now. So, what is Mental block? A mental block is either a repression of painful thoughts, or an inability to continue a train of thought, like in the case of writer’s block. In the case of writer's block, many find it helpful to take a break and revisit their topic. Another tactic that is used when people with mental blocks are learning new information is repetition. Mental blocks can be caused by physical disabilities or simply a lack of focus. Mental blocks are also often used to describe a temporary inability to recall a name or other information. Mental blocks can happen from lack of sleep. Many turn to therapy in order to discove
