Three Ordinary Concepts Kayakangu Julius Malange

We live in times where truth, meaning and certainty in life have all been buried by powerful philosophical and scientific ideas. They are so powerful that an average mind cannot fathom nor suspect erosion of our human identity. These ideas have penetrated our way of life by craftily messing up our identity, thinking and therefore affecting choices we make. It's important to discover ones identity in spirituality. Whatever you worship has your identity. Your identity influences how you think about self and the world around you. As a man thinks so is he. So to believe is to 'be' and 'live' while thriving in your purpose. Many of us Malawians and Africans struggle with a question of identity. Some view God as foreign concept sold to us by colonial masters, and some view God from traditional concept. But where is the truth? I believe it must be somewhere in the middle. A society is a collective representation of individuals, families living together. If we individually and collectively think like slaves, we can't build our nation. Nation design and building is a task that requires to dive into intangibles, and a daunting journey for a slave mindset that is devoid of hope . In our despair, we ridicule those with great ideas that can transform our nations. This is a book for secondary school, university students struggling with identity and meaning in the midst of African challenges. It is for working class who are well trained by education system but struggling with meaning in their lives. It is for the lonely entrepreneur struggling with loneliness, belief, self doubt, strategy and discouragement. This book is for the eagles that have eyes set to improve our society through creativity and innovations. It is also for you the wealthy Africans that can inspire hope to the masses by building platforms to unleash and maximize potential. Out of many one Africa! Let the one great story begin! Talk about this in your offices, families, homes, hangout suites, social functions, entertainment spots. I don't have all the answers but the questions.
