MY LAST WORDS

We have come a long way from our traditional beliefs, firm foundations and rich cultural heritage therefore, every now and then we need to wake up to the calls of good, useful and appropriate human co-existence to generate, establish, maintain and up-keep peace, prosperity and progress of our own people at home, on the streets, in our towns and villages. So the sooner we learn to conduct ourselves by avoiding some of the obvious dangers to human virtue the better we would be able to perform our day to day business of life and living.

I strongly feel that it is really harmful and dangerous if we:

• Accumulate wealth without hard work;
• Get pleasure without conscience;
• Acquire knowledge without character;
• Doing business without ethics;
• Scientific research without humanity;
• Follow religious traditions blindly;
• Do political acts without principles;
• Want rights without responsibilities;
• Are unable to express unconditional love;
• Work without intent and purpose;
• Are unable to value mission and vision;
• Are not able to persevere and persist;
• Do not strive to reach the summit;
• Do not value human hospitality;
• Do not honour and respect family life;
• Do not work and value teamwork;
• Maintain communication breakdown;
• Show our irresponsibility and unaccountability;
• Do not seek knowledge and wisdom;
• Are not humble, modest and open;
• Do not honour the dignity of others;
• Do not lead by example and initiative;
• Fail to care, serve and protect;
• Live without thankfulness for life;
• Have no truth, beauty and goodness in us;
• Have no sense of contentment; and
• Live without hope and promise.
