A person is a reflection of their culture, of what they believe and how they live their lives. A bridge between the past and the future, between time and space and needs to try to keep them in harmony, less they become unbalanced. Not to be aware of the past and give it due consideration in the building of the future can distort the future. Neither is it wise to sacrifice your future because you choose to live in or as if you are in the past. One World One Human Race One Destiny (OWOHROD)

JUST A BRIEF THOUGH - ZIMBABWE'S ARMY ACT TO PROTECT RM FROM CRIMINALS!
I should probably have entitled this a just a joke, but that be as it may, I shall proceed.
It is still very early days, as the saying goes, but it appears that Zimbabwe's Army has intervened, forcefully.
As might have been expected for an army, to, it is purportedly claimed by the Army, protect Prime Minister Robert Mugabe, from 'criminals' around him. How can anybody top that?
It is like saying the Army of Angola intervened in that country's affairs to protect the ruling Dos Santos family and its parasites from 'criminals' around them.
What is my point, those readers who do not know about what has been happening in Angola and Zimbabwe, both of which have had a history of fighting for their independence from British and Portuguese colonial rule, might be wondering?
For people who have any knowledge of these countries, my point will immediately become apparent.
Which is, as the saying goes, 'bird of a feather flock together.'
The Dos Santos and Mugabe families could be deemed the biggest 'criminals' in their respective countries, so, how could their armies protect them from criminals?
It makes no sense at all. Consequently, the use of such a grossly ill-fitting 'fig leaf' as cover for what is no more than a power struggle amongst Zimbabwe's ZANU-PF elites.
Where was Zimbabwe's Army, over the past decades when Robert Mugabe has been literally robbing the nation? Not only of its de facto wealth, but of its neglected, undeveloped and repressed potential wealth?
Yes, the army was nowhere to be seen, because it had chosen to limit its 'protective role' to that of protecting the very same 'criminals' whom it is now presuming to protect the nation from.
Which is not to say that noting good, even if it is only partially used as a pretext, from this probably long delayed intervention. Better late than never does have some validity at times.
Zimbabwe has had more than its fair share of tragedy. Let us now see how its 'farce' develops, and look beyond it for the new dawn, the new hope and much delayed prosperity and peace which have been eluding it for so many decades.
Revolution has not worked in Zimbabwean's best interests. Now they must look to reforming and transforming their country into a better one; beginning with open and fair elections, and the reaffirmation of all Zimbabweans as equal.
