Worth Noting:
- In Kenya in the recent years we have had a lot of domestic violence that have resulted to deaths of the couples or their kids. The big question of what had led to such extreme cases yet marriages should be between two adults a male and a female who voluntarily agreed to live together as husband and wife. It is also allowable for divorce if unable to reconcile.
- At family level there are channels like going to a counselor, reporting the case to courts or even parting ways without seeking any external support.
- Many are times you find that such marriages have been toxic for quite a long time yet for fear of what other family or community members will say they tolerate each other only for the relationship to blow up leaving some or all the parties in casualty.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people.
A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, is often the means of their regeneration.
A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other………….John Stuart Mill, Principles of Political Economy.
Everything was created with a purpose but not everything available is used for its correct purpose. This is due to conflict of interest among human beings and it usually leads to disturbance of the natural order and unpredictability of the future of whatever is being misapplied.

A child who misbehaves infront of his parents but they fail to caution him for the family to remain peaceful poses a great threat to their kid as he will continue and behave the same in presence of some other people who will not be willing to tolerate them resulting to them either being ejected from a certain location like dismissal from the job or being reported to the authorities then tried before getting jailed.
The kids will blame his parents for not warning him early enough therefore it is better they take strict measures much as they may hate them in the current time over time they will appreciate their great and wise pieces of advice.
In a dictatorial regime the directives of the ruler and non-negotiable no matter how awkward they may seem. If they are oppressive all the subjects strictly adhere to them resulting to a lot of suffering for the time they will be under that rule.
When this happens the ruler is happy and at peace with his servants owing to their high levels of discipline. Should there be any one of them who rejects those bad ideas he may be hated and at times prosecuted but that will make the ruler to think twice before issuing any directive for fear of meeting resistance.
This will help him to improve his decision making and silently be happy with such challengers whenever the new idea adopted after rejection of the old one becomes more rewarding to both the admistrators and the subjects.
Every individual in the whole world is unique. Do not be worried that you are not exactly like your colleagues even if you are identical twins.
Use your differences to better the relationship by showing how you can be of great help to others even when you look and act differently. Let us enjoy unity in diversity.
Do not hate your neighbour due to difference in opinion provided all of you mean well for each other.
