THE POWER OF UNITY

-


 Unity has a greater power  that bond people to accomplish whatever they want to do, l never knew this, until while  trooping  with my father ( Tsegba).

 Tsegba who one could not spend a minute with without getting a moral story to learn from, as usual saw some ants dragging a deadly  grasshopper and showed me.

 I turned and look at it confusably, he  then nodded his head gently  and smiled  deeply, and pointed at the little creatures ( the ants) I look at them as they were dragging the dead grasshopper to their hole.

Yet  I did not anticipate the meaning,  He look at me once again and said: "VANENGE" my son I hope you are confused?" yes baba I replied teasing at him. He  went in the bush and cut off some little sticks in hundred pieces and tied them in a bundle, and  asked me to use my hands and break them. I tried my very best to broke the bundle of the little sticks but I was unable. I told him that I have tried with all my strength to no avail, then he smiled and started: " VANENGE my son, there is power in unity, I know you were confused when I showed you some ants dragging a grasshopper to their hole.

 Now listen, can a single ant drag a grasshopper to it hole? Never! But in Unity they are dragging the grasshopper to their hole, what any of them will not do when it is alone. I as well instructed you to cut off the pieces of stick tied in a bundle and you were unable. I remember when I removed one piece of stick out of the bundle, you broke it without struggling. Same thing apply to human, when a group of people think alike, they end up achieving what they wouldn't have achieved if they are separate. When a group of people are in team work, it will be difficult for anything to defeat them just as a bundle of stick you were not able to break.

  Whenever humans do not value importance of others, they lack strength just as that single piece of stick you broke.  Ensure you value each other, and life will be easier for you; unity is powerful and you should emulate it, he concluded.

Tears of an orphan

-
Amina sat alone on the cold, dusty floor of her small orphanage, her eyes streaming with tears. She had just received news that her only living relative, an aunt she had never met, had refused to take her in. At 12 years old, Amina felt like she had nowhere left to turn. She had grown up in the orphanage, surrounded by other children who, like her, had been abandoned or lost their families. But Amina's story was different. She remembered her parents, their warm smiles and loving hugs. She remembered the way her mother used to sing to her, the way her father used to play with her. As she cried, Amina's thoughts drifted back to those happy memories. She wished she could turn back time, wished she could be with her parents again. But life had other plans. The orphanage's strict matron, Mrs. Jones, entered the room, her expression softening slightly as she saw Amina's tears. "Amina, child, don't cry. You'll get through this. You're strong." Amina ...

John the Lover Boy

-
John was the kind of guy who left a trail of broken hearts wherever he went. His charming smile, chiseled features, and smooth talking skills made him a magnet for women. He knew his way around a conversation, always landing on the right topics, and making each woman feel like she was the only one in the world. His friends would often joke that John had a PhD in flirting, and they weren't far off. He could effortlessly charm his way into and out of just about any situation. But beneath his polished exterior, John was a complex character, driven by a deep-seated need for validation. Growing up, John had always felt like he was living in the shadow of his older brother, who seemed to excel at everything he did. His parents, though well intentioned, had inadvertently fueled John's insecurity by constantly comparing him to his brother. As a result, John developed a coping mechanism he became a people pleaser, desperate to be liked and admired by those around him. Women were dr...

Love in the Time of Sunset

The sky was ablaze with hues of orange, pink, and purple as the sun dipped below the horizon. It was a moment Aisha had been waiting for, a moment she had been anticipating for what felt like an eternity. She stood on the beach, the warm sand beneath her feet, and gazed out at the sea. The waves gently lapped at the shore, creating a soothing melody that seemed to match the rhythm of her heart. Aisha's thoughts were with him, with Kofi, the man she loved. They had met by chance on this very beach, and their connection had been instant. As the sun began to set, Kofi had promised to meet her here, to watch the sunset together. As if on cue, Aisha heard the sound of footsteps behind her. She turned to see Kofi walking towards her, a smile on his face and a bouquet of flowers in his hand. "Hey," he said, as he reached her side. "I brought your favorite flowers." Aisha's heart skipped a beat as she took in the beauty of the flowers, the way they seemed to ...
