“When our traditions were first forced into the margins in the 1990s as a result of religious, cultural and identity politics, there was consternation among the public that expressed itself mainly in nostalgia and sentimentality. Younger people, however, search for these traditions with a greater sense of purpose because they are not acquainted with them. They suffer from a large cultural and historical hole in their souls, they seek greater meaning of themselves through these traditions, and they are getting increasingly weary of the inanities of cultural, religious and identity politics which have disposed them of all this knowledge,” he says.

Wanna hear a true story based on a true life experience?
I've always learnt that life is a learning experience. I grew up having so many amazing people who some taught, showed, lead and even inspired me on how I should perceive what living in this world would be all about. Some may not be as close to me now but they left a positive mark. The negative ones become a light as well. Many who are very close to me now are the ones that bring sunshine and glitters to my life. Thanks for loving me! My experiences has shaped me and having gone through much pain as a kid with a broken family background and betrayals in my early adulthood made me realised that nothing stays the same. It's meant to either be dissolved or grow for the greater. Just like a plant. It grows if we nourish our soul. It dies if we put the wrong soil. At least that's the science of life. And at some point we've gotta make a choice, stand for ourselves and start living the kind of life we want to build. To embrace it as our own, based on our strong believes. And hence a lot of my life experiences has taught me positive and valuable lessons, opened my eyes and mind to the best possible beauty of it's mystery behind many miseries.
Some people questioned where do I gain my perseverance or tolerance? My ability to make peace or always being the one that's willing to accept people or learn in any situation. THAT, made me. I'm not and never a saint or perfecto. I'm just a broken soul. Simple, I was broken many times. And that's the beauty because you get fixed, restored after every crashing (metaphorically speaking. not car crash).
It somehow shaped me. But having to be so open and willing, I learnt the hard way that we should not succumb to people's objectification or patronisation. No one has the right to no matter how powerful they are. I've learnt that it's important to stand firm for yourselves and be able to live based on your values, the vision one has in their mind and passion within their hearts. To represent yourselves. It's makes you a being. More than a being, a soulful empowerment with great vision or mission to define your life and sole purpose of why you do the things you do.
Now we've all got the science of it because it's all being formulated and laid upon us that 1+1= 2 and for some people they live by their treachery ways having believe that - 'THIS is the way. The only way'. And force their way to make people follow their ways. Trust me, I've heard it so many times and sorry to say this even we religious people preaches the same. But aren't we all lost souls who are losing our grips seeking for a saviour or at least something to hold on? Hope ? A light in the tunnel? Money in our empty accounts so we can live comfortably? Investment so our future won't be weary? Fuel to drive our cars? Nice outfits to look good and to cover up our vulnerability? Relationship/friendship to fill our lonely hearts? Curry or gravy in our plain rice ? We are all the same. Everything is a whole and it has connection to it. It's not a separated formula that you call it a subject. It's a whole. We are all the same trying to survive, we are made to fight, rebel and survive. Not generate the art of slavery. Or objectify others based on our statuses. See, the thing is our perspective do make us.
Are we all breathing because we need to or because we want to ? I may be crazy for saying this, but it does make a difference. I don't want to survive, I want to live. I believe we all want the same.
At least we must look also at the artistic side of life (which many of us neglect).
My point is, don't judge. Don't name the value of other's worth because we think we know so. The truth is we have no idea on the cost everyone of us have to pay to be where we are today, still breathing the same air all of us breathe. If you need food to fill your hunger, so does everyone, regardless whether they are short, fat or thin or whether we think their ugly. We are still a body that will one day rot to our flesh and turn to dust. If you need money and finance or wealth, so does everyone. We are no saints nor gods to create what's the 'Shall be' pathway for people. We share our light and fire so everyone could find their way while others found theirs. We share our darkness while some are lost in it so that it could be a guide. Building a dream and our own life perspectively, is what we ought to do, a legacy that would make the world a better place for everyone and not just ourselves. That's an empire of pure joy and legacy. If in the midst we find people rejoicing and being generously helpful with your pursuit, that's a blessing. A family. A unit. Be it permanently or temporarily. They may not stay because we need to move on and they need to move on as well. It's sharing life together as seasons change. We were never meant to destroy each other. We're supposed to help each other to go through seasonal phase and battles so each and everyone of us could find our own way. It is greed and the yearning of power/authority and our deceitful pride that binds and blinds us. Sadly many of us could not live without the pride we have now such as our material possessions, fame, convenience or even authority. As we are inhaling too much of these hazed airs, it becomes toxic within our lungs. It clouds our mind with dusty thoughts, then vaporises it into dirty deceitful acts. I would never want that. As I see many who steps others down to climb up or use others as a benefit, I would long no more for such destructive manner of life. Is that all we've got as humans? I don't believe so.
Am thankful to all whom played a role in my life. Each and everyone of, you are my inspiration. And I thank you. Because of our imperfections and constant struggle to find meaning in life has lead us towards a pure acceptance that strengthen us. It is your tears, joy, story, passion and honesty that motivates me. Today I've pondered upon my own phase of life. What I don't want to be and it has to stop. For it to stop it takes a firm stand. "It just HIT me. I guess I'm broken." Hence it inspired me to write.
*Sorry for the long post. I just had it in my brains and it has been within me for the past few days as I am mentally and physically unwell due to exhaustion or I would say it's definitely an emotional breakdown. I'm in need of a remedy. One that could set me free to take me to greater heights.
*Love yourself and never be afraid to move yourselves to an unknown place for it will widened your capacity. Believe in yourself and never be ashamed of your weaknesses. What have we got to hide ? For every weaknesses shall turn to strengths, hardship and brokenness to empowerment, hard work to success, imperfections to beauty and passion becomes a breathing life.
Live a meaningful life, out of superficiality. That's what we call a rich life.
Cheers :)

The Philadelphia 76ers played more like a playoff team than one mired in a miserable stretch of basketball.
Thaddeus Young had 26 points and 14 rebounds, Allen Iverson scored 20 points and the 76ers snapped a 12-game losing streak with a 117-101 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.
Iverson was a rookie the last time the Sixers lost 13 straight in the 1996-97 season. He played the best game of his four-game second stint in Philadelphia to help avoid another unlucky 13-game skid on his resume.
The Sixers had all five starters and two reserves score in double digits.
"We felt like once we did get a win, it was going to be extremely hard, one of the hardest games to win," Iverson said. "It was totally opposite."
Iverson hit the 20-point mark for the second straight game a day after his having his left knee drained of fluid. Young was sensational, using an 11-of-15 effort in the first half to give the Sixers a rare comfortable lead and easy win.
"It's been working for us, but we just couldn't get the win," Young said. "It really worked tonight."
Looking for a spark, 76ers coach Eddie Jordan benched power forward Elton Brand and paired rookie Jrue Holiday in the backcourt with Iverson. Jordan's move worked: Holiday had 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
"He just put us in a good rhythm tonight and had us flowing," Iverson said.
Brand, who was previously benched in some fourth quarters, said it was hard to complain about his role after a victory. He just can't believe he's considered a bench player early in the second year of an $80 million, five-year deal.
"When you look around at other teams, yeah," Brand said. "It's like, no disrespect, but [Golden State's] Mikki Moore gets the start and I don't. Not that he's not a good player, but, definitely."
Andre Iguodala left briefly with bruised ribs and scored 14 points on brutal 4-of-20 shooting. He's day-to-day and was not expected to practice Tuesday.
Corey Maggette led the Warriors with 24 points and Anthony Randolph had 15. Golden State lost its third straight in the finale of a five-game trip that started Dec. 7.
"You can't make excuses about a long trip," Maggette said.
Iverson's return generated a short burst of excitement, but not wins. His box office appeal is already lukewarm with only 12,795 fans listed to watch a slumping Sixers team.
Iverson joked at shootaround that after his ill-fated stint with Memphis, he sat home "trying to get fat." He wasn't in game shape and the Sixers came in with a bloated 18 losses.
He teamed with Young to make eight of 11 shots in the first quarter to help build a 12-point lead. Young really got rolling in the second quarter. He kept close to the basket and used a flurry of layups to score 14 points. He did hit a nice turnaround jumper that stretched the lead to 15.
Iverson capped the half by drawing a midair foul with 1 second left, hitting two free throws to make it 71-57.
Philadelphia won for only the third time in 19 games and its 12-game losing streak was the longest since 2006. Iverson was around for the start of that one three years ago before he was traded and the end of this one after his return.
Iverson acknowledges the years of banging down the lane and crashing the court have taken a severe toll on his 34-year-old frame. He's limited at shootarounds and practices -- by coaches decision, not complaint -- and no longer has the quickest first step in the league.
"I've been dealing with that the last 5, 6 years I've been playing," Iverson said. "I understand that when I fall or hit something that it flares up or gets irritated a lot faster than it used to. That comes from getting older."
By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, Iverson could rest. Willie Green's 3-pointer with 9:10 left in the fourth gave the Sixers 102 points, meaning free food at a fast-food restaurant for the few fans who bought tickets.
The weary Warriors had three field goals and scored 11 points in the third quarter.
"I think we'll all be glad to get home, but you still want to play as well as you can on the road," interim Warriors coach Keith Smart said. "Unfortunately, we didn't manage to do that on this trip."
