10 reasons why we have fallen out of love

By Sicebise Msengana

Love is a subjective experience that differs from person to person. However, love is universal. All people recognise love. 

1. We are too picky. "She is not my type" or "He is way out of my league."

2. We are indifferent to the needs of our partners. 

3. We date because we want to settle a score with our ex.

In celebration of the women's month I thought of taking this opportunity to celebrate the phenomenal strength of women: I was raised by a single woman and where am I today is because of her countless sacrifices to give me the best.

As such,  I selected a touching poem by Maya Angelou.

Phenomenal woman

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.

I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size   

But when I start to tell them,

They think I’m telling lies.

I say,

It’s in the reach of my arms,

The span of my hips,   

The stride of my step,   

The curl of my lips.   

I’m a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,   

That’s me.

I walk into a room

Just as cool as you please,   

And to a man,

The fellows stand or

Fall down on their knees.   

Then they swarm around me,

A hive of honey bees.

18 July is the day we celebrate the life of Tata Nelson "Madiba" Mandela--father of the South African nation. This great gentleman guided our nation through it's dark hour and led it to  freedom. Some of you may not know him. But he is the man who stood up for what he believed in and paid the ultimate price of serving 27 years in Robben Island.

The  apartheid government was one of the most cruelest regimes in the twentieth century. All it's policies were established to systemically enslave non-Whites, particularly the Black people. The crimes committed by the intolerant, mindless, psychotic, racist, genocidal Afrikaner government are among the worst crimes in history. Tens of thousands of Black South Africans were slaughtered and millions were denied their human

Love is the most important basic need for any  human. Without love, the world would be derived of intrinsic values such as compassion, mercy and justice. Love is beautiful word. Love can be expressed as an act or expressed as a feeling. Just take 5 minutes and imagine a world without love. How would it look like? What would our relationships be like? Do you think there would be any peace in such a world? Let's fall in love and change the world! Here is a poem by Florence:

You are not alone

Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of passage?

His father takes him into the forest...blindfolded...and leaves him....alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night...and not take off the blindfold until the ray of sun shines through it. He is all by himself. He cannot cry out for help to anyone.

Once he survives the night...he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience. Each boy must come into his own manhood.

The boy was terrified...could hear all kinds of noise...Beasts were all around him. Maybe even some human would hurt him. The wind blew the grass and earth... and it shook his stump. But he sat stoically...never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could be a man.

Finally, after a horrific night...the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he saw his father...sitting on the stump next to him...at watch...the entire night.
