The False Human Belief
By Sicebise Msengana

The Solution To All Of The World's Problems
By Sicebise Msengana
In retrospect, suffering is our greatest teacher
When you turn on the TV to watch the news and to your shock you learn about the Paris terrorist attacks or the little Christian girls that were kidnapped by the Boko Haram in 2014 or a vicious rape and murder of a ninety year-old nun. You cannot help but feel angry and sad at the same time.
