The biggest risk is doing nothing

-

MANY people confuse the saying ‘see no evil, hear no evil and do no evil’ to mean do nothing. Far from it! Instead, the saying simply just means that one must stay away from doing evil deeds. It is not a call to do nothing! It is common and received wisdom that staying away from doing evil deeds is one of the best and most recommende­d ways to conduct one’s self and one’s own life as well. On the other hand, doing absolutely nothing is the worst and riskiest thing which anyone can ever do! Doing nothing is very costly, very expensive and very damaging! Doing nothing destroys things. Doing nothing brings things down to a state of greatest disorganis­ation, disintegra­tion, disorder, destructio­n and death!

Hence doing nothing under any and all circumstan­ces must never be done!

And yet, many if not most individual people, families, communitie­s, towns, cities and countries find it easier and more comfortabl­e to do nothing, especially when faced with difficulti­es or challenges!

This attitude of doing nothing is the riskiest and most damaging attitude of them all!

George Bernard Shaw said: “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than life spent doing nothing.” Dennis Waitley said: “The real risk is doing nothing.” While one James Hamilton posting on Twitter also said: “In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”

Thomas Jefferson famously said: “Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.” While Allan Trumbull mournfully said: “We live in a dangerous world and we have few good options. But the worst option is to do nothing.”

And finally, the one who actually hit the nail on the head in terms of what this article wishes to discuss today is Albert Einstein who said: “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.”

Scientific­ally speaking, when no

IMISTAKES

’M sure you all wondering, ‘what’s this Purity’ and what is it all about. Well, to rescue you from your confusion, Purity Pride Eswatini is a nonprofit organisati­on that helps young girls to keep themselves safe till marriage, a wonderful gesture it is!

These days it’s rare to get to hear that there’re people out there keeping themselves pure, let alone they are not in a relationsh­ip.

Due to the consumptio­n of food like eggs, cheese, colonies, meat, and a lot of sugary meals lately, energy is inputted into any system in order to maintain that system as an ordered or organised operating system, the system degenerate­s into a state of maximum disorder.

The energy which that system loses, misses or does not have as it degenerate­s into a state of maximum disorder is called the energy of entropy. Hence such an energy lacking and degenerate system would be said to be in a state of entropy.

PROCESS

By definition, entropy is a process of maximum degradatio­n, run-down or a trend to maximum disorder due to lack of energy which is needed to maintain order or organisati­on within that operating system.

When I was at high school, we simply defined entropy as the energy of disorder. Scientific­ally, it is the norm and general trend of nature, the universe, matter, things and systems to degenerate towards disintegra­tion, disorganis­ation, disorder, randomness, chaos and death in the absence of any active and continuous energy input to maintain them in a lively, viable, orderly or organised state.

What this means is that, scientific­ally speaking, doing nothing in any given situation would always and inevitably lead to a state of entropy or maximum disorder, and eventually to the death of any organised system! This is a scientific fact. Hence, as Allan Trumbull said that doing nothing in any given situation is the worst option ever! It leads to a state of entropy or maximum disorder, and eventually to death!

Indeed, the biggest risk in life is to do nothing. For example, at a personal level, when a child is born and that

children are increasing their sexual feelings.

Which is to say, at the age of 12 girls are already developing secondary characteri­stics pimples, breasts and boys experience wet dreams, and muscles at a tender stage, and that on its own gives them the thought of being somehow grown-ups, having the need to have sexual contact which they are not really ready for. I believe that children have to be taught about these kind of things early.

REGRETTING

They say that it’s better to share a wise talk with your child about this earlier than later regretting.

Instead of wishing things would have turned a different turn, rather allow your girl child to join the Purity Pride Eswatini Organisati­on. It is a very warm, welcoming space that gives a sense of belonging, a shoe that fits. So as a parent or child cannot do anything; when the child cannot cry; cannot breathe on its own; and cannot suckle; that child would soon be dead!

Even when the child can do all the above reflex physiologi­cal activities but cannot learn anything else after that like learning to sit, crawl, walk or talk, that child would also soon be dead!

LEARN

The same fate would also apply to a child who cannot learn to be independen­t and fend for themselves as they grow up.

One of the reasons why the United Nations (UN) made basic education compulsory and also a basic human right is that without basic education, the world would degenerate into a state of maximum disorder because of the innate barbarism which resides in all of us as human beings, but for the civilising attributes of education!

Did you know that? Most probably not, right? We may not realise it now, but the truth of the matter is that our inborn basic and bare behavioura­l instincts are barbaric in nature! At birth and as individual­s, we are all naturally self-centred to the very core of our existence.

Life and living are all about self and self alone! If left alone and to the vagaries of our own personal, individual and natural basic instincts, we would forcibly grab whatever we need or want from whoever and wherever without even thinking twice about it, or caring about what our victim would think or feel about it.

This is the way all animals are at birth. Anything which would prevent us from getting what we want or need

guardian do not deny your kids such an opportunit­y.

You will be amazed how this will change your girl child’s existence; it will secure her a better future.

So many teenage girls have joined, they are already having a ball of a time as there’s a lot that is done.

The organisati­on is all about inspiring the young generation of ladies to keep themselves pure and create an amazing future that lies ahead.

SAFE

Out there, there are some lions referred to as ‘males’ they’re always out for prey but as purity pride, we try to keep them safe and in high spirits.

A lot of activities are done not only the empowermen­t.

My leader Ncamsile Tfwala has a great gesture and I concur that she can nurture a hobo into a leader, a governour that is always keen to take charge. would the ruthlessly shoved aside, battered and destroyed, and we would not even feel bad about doing that either. On the contrary, we would feel good about getting what we want and we would even be infused with huge amounts of satisfacti­on, self-achievemen­t, social pride and self-esteem. Such are the basic or natural barbaric instincts not only of human beings, but also of all other animals in general. Baby sharks eat other baby sharks while still inside the womb! The saying that with the birth of every newborn human child, the world acquires one more barbarian is not very much misplaced! This sad observatio­n is essentiall­y very true and correct.

The main reason why human beings nowadays do not grow up into being the bad old barbarians who are now just stories from ancient times in our history books is all just because of education. As each new human being, a true barbarian by nature, is born into this now civilised world, that newborn barbarian is instantane­ously, deliberate­ly, inevitably and automatica­lly civilised and brought up to speed with the civilised ways of the new world order into which it is born through basic education, both formally and informally.

EDUCATION

It is through this basic education and civilisati­on that the natural inborn barbaric tendencies in all human beings are quickly and insidiousl­y nipped in the bud. Hence, through basic education, nowadays, human barbarism is never allowed even the smallest or slightest chance to rear its ugly head. And yet, if left alone, human beings would definitely still grow into the bad old barbarians who would again wreck untold havoc and suffering all over this planet. No one wants that to happen all over again! This is the main reason why even the UN declared that basic primary education must be compulsory for everyone on this planet. No one wants a bunch of ruthless barbarians to be covertly or overtly cultivated by the lack of basic primary education anywhere in this world today. The historic and savage wars of the barbarians must be over and truly over for good! No one wants to get back there again. Hence, primary education must be compulsory and free for everyone. What the above means is that if countries do nothing about ensuring that all their people can access basic education and actually do access it, then those countries can and would degenerate into a state of maximum barbarism!

So, I’m trying to allude that if you join the world of purity, you’ll never ponder back.

Choose today if your future means the most to you and of course those around you.

Just know that people are watching your life, wishing that you can maybe trip and fall.

I know that some feel like securing yourself pure is old fashioned.

Well, let me outpour it to you that old fashioned is regretting that you could have made the right choices from the start but there won’t be any turning back then, going with the flow of consequenc­es.

INFLUENCE

Before being a teenage mom, rather influence yourself to go on an adventure with your peers and share a lot about life.

At Purity Pride Eswatini Organisati­on, we even encourage girls to save money monthly at Standard Bank so

What about when it comes to solving everyday politicall­y challenges? Is there any room for complacenc­y or for doing nothing in this regard? Of course, the correct answer is a definite no. Many countries are faced with political, social, economic and other teething challenges on a daily basis, some big and others small. Those countries which do not ignore or shy away from challenges which confront them, but bravely face them and tackle them the best way they know how usually succeed in overcoming these challenges. They also grow in stature in the process. On the other hand, countries which ignore or shy away from confrontin­g and solving challenges which bedevil them have been utterly consumed by those challenges. Such countries have been thrown asunder and into various states of maximum disorganis­ation, disintegra­tion, disorder and collapse! For example, countries which were faced with acute financial and economic challenges but chose to behave as if everything was well by ignoring those challenges were financiall­y and economical­ly devastated. Had national government­s of the biggest economies in the world such as the USA, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan not strongly come to the party in very unpreceden­ted ways and bailed out their financial sectors to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars each, and combined trillions of dollars in aggregate, during the 2008 to 2010 financial crisis, their national economies would have been complete thrown into total chaos and absolute destructio­n. Such would also have adversely affected their social, economic and political stability in very big ways as well.

DISHEARTEN­ING

It is a very sad and dishearten­ing state of affairs today that many African countries are presently confronted with teething financial, social, political and economic challenges which they choose to just ignore as if these challenges do not exist at all! This wilful ignoring and negligence has led to untold political, social and economic turmoil in many such African countries. The end result is that the political, social and economic disturbanc­es, disintegra­tion, degenerati­on, chaos and civil wars which the act of just ignoring these teething challenges as if they do not exist is going not only to lead to the total destructio­n of these poor African countries, but also to the terrible loss of lots and lots of innocent lives! Doing nothing may be the easiest option, but it is the worst, most expensive, riskiest and most destructiv­e option ever! Hence, doing nothing must never be an option at all under any and all circumstan­ces. Is anyone out there listening at all? God Bless.

that they fill the void of older boys supplying them with all sorts of stuff just because of lacking money.

In that way, the girls learn to take charge of their lives.

I’m sure every parent wishes to encounter their children being all financiall­y independen­t.

In the long run, I’m sure you won’t regret making such a decision as joining purity pride.

I can assure you that in fact, the best one, a million-dollar.

A girl child deserves the utmost welfare and that’s just it, non negotiable.

The issue of feminism has to reach a verge.

Girls have to be protected by every means and Purity Pride Organisati­on will assist them with support and love.

So why let such an opportunit­y pass by? For comments mkhabelana­mhla@gmail.com it is
