Inspirational Quotes for the Weekend
By Dr Charles Leyman Kachitsa
There are two major worldviews in existence perhaps since creation and these are optimism and pessimism. These have driven humanity to move forward and in some cases to retract. At the core of both is the state of fear. One of these two conditions adopts courage that conquers fear while the other embraces fear as the de facto position of safety.
In optimism there is courage as one sees all thing clearly more positively. Such state enables men to shade off their fear and wade into places unimaginable as a result reaping rewards that are not attained by ordinary mortals. This is true at an individual level and or a group of people level including for nations. Such nations with courage dare to dream of the impossible and that is why we have airplanes scouting the skies as would never have been imagined by those people who first came on to earth from the Creator.
On the other hand the pessimistic have always feared that which never needed to be feared including their own shadows. As a result they have remained on one station not wanting to move forward as that would mean their shadow following them. Individuals fitting this bracket have sat on soil and went hungry, have lived in fruitful forests but lacked food for fear of the colour of the fruits. Nations which harbour such pessimistic tendencies have seen other more courageous countries visiting their shores to take off the riches within their bellies.
The middle between these two extremes seems recommendable and the natural place to be. However, it is a preserve for only the enlightened, those who know the truth, what is the truth! At the core of it, is all in the Promise to humanity. You have to find it.
The quotes for this week are an extraction from a book that contains the background to a people that were one, now divided by human want as its pages explain. It shades light on some of the questions people ask on how these countries have turned to the status they are now. I am sure the few chosen quotations listed below from the book will enlighten you to one or two life lessons. Read and enjoy:
