Feeling that maybe I was being over emotional and
counter-productive by ranting on what should be a pro-human rights opinion blog
I decided to take a hiatus to sit back and observe the happenings in the home
country.
It’s been emotionally draining and utterly depressing to
watch everything go downhill at an ever-decreasing pace.
To mention a few headlines doing the rounds;
- Tail
between your legs and begging your ‘mortal enemy’ to pay to fix your mess (http://www.zimbabwesituation.com/news/zimsit_zimbabwe-asks-britain-for-funds-to-educate-a-million-children/)
- The
diamonds running out and losing value (www.newzimbabwe.com/business-14333-Marange+diamonds+lose+global+shine/business.aspx)
- The
shocking and almost laughable currency situation (http://allafrica.com/stories/201401300780.html)
- The
of archaic and almost barbaric trial of GALZ
leader Martha Tholanah (http://www.zimbabwesituation.com/news/zimsit_zim-authorities-under-spotlight-as-galz-trial-commences/)
After reaching boiling point
each time I follow these stories and others like them, I have somehow managed
to regain control of my emotions and provide what could be observed by some as
a more ‘mature’ opinion. It may be down to the ‘less wine, more herbal tea
resolution’.
BTW – I cannot promise nor
guarantee that this phase will last all...
Anyway, here goes:
So let’s start by agreeing none of us like to fail, it’s just a
genetic thing, however there’s a great possibility that your (Mr President)
relationship with failure is stopping you and your team (ZANU PF) dealing with
some of the biggest problems of our time and causing harm to us all!
You see, in mine and other ‘normal people’s personal experiences,
failing is a good sign that you’re trying something new therefore we
can go on to speak and discuss the benefits of our failures in order to help us
move forward.
Not in your case Mr President! At the risk of this sounding like another
rant, all I can say is your level of failure is probably the worst in the ‘history of failure’! In your case the
problems you have failed to resolve are mere symptoms of other problems, which
were also symptoms of problems which developed from symptoms that you created –
you dig!! You haven’t tried anything new to resolve these symptoms – in the
words of Albert Einstein, ‘Insanity is doing something over and over
again and expecting a different result!’
In the end the problems are so
inter-connected that it is impossible to pull them apart, hence FAILURE!!
What to do now - I’m afraid to say there is no longer a
solution to our problem – however I strongly believe there is a chance to begin
searching for what could only be an improvement to our situation.
The ONLY step to this is for you Mr President to accept failure
step down and dismantle your entire ZANU PF machine.
So my message to you Mr President is simple – It’s time to consider
failure as a viable option, so grow up and move on!!!
