We are all of us on a journey. Each day, whether we do it consciously or not, we are journeying into the future. This is, I must point out, a journey that has no end; no matter where you stand, the future always lies ahead of you.
As we move into the future, we can move into darkness or into light; it is entirely up to us as individuals. The actions we take, and the decisions we make will determine whether we have a future that is bleak or one that is bright. One essential item we need to pack for our trip is – self respect. If we don’t respect and honor ourselves, we can hardly expect others to respect us.
A key element of self respect, though, is how we treat others. Respect breeds respect, and this, in turn, builds self respect.
While we must accept individual responsibility for what we do and achieve, never think that we’re on the journey to the future alone. As you move toward that brighter future, lend a hand to your fellow travelers. In so doing, you just might find your burdens lighter and your journey easier.
Let us not try to be the best or worst of others,but lets make the effort to be the best of ourselves.The future is always in our hands,these hands will shape a better tomorrow and for posterity.If a snail can leave footprints,how about us human beings made in the image of God,definitely will do better than a snail in our short journey in this world and lay a firm foundation of tolerance,respect of life and mankind,no exploitation of man by man and be my brothers' keeper at all times.Tamsanqa Mlilo
