We are what we do

What we do really reflects who exactly we are. In other words, our impressions indicate the type of people we are. People may or not know you by the means of your background but they can easily recognise who you are by your way of doing things i.e. your behaviour at work or school or church, further that can be anywhere.


Every day people make mistakes, commit crime, fraud, etc ignoring the concept that says even you do things secretly in hidden place, always remember even walls of that specific place can view and testify one day i.e. even doing things in secret with people you trust more, remember that one day, one of them will expose you.

Sociology is a science that I love most and living with people has just maximise my knowledge on people behaviours and that associated with the knowledge acquired in psychology. Human beings tend to quickly forget what they do ignoring that people surrounding them can only make judgement on what they see about such people.

Human beings are recognised and or judged by their behaviour and/or character, which is the factor that represents a person’s personality. That tells exactly who a person is; so we have to always behave in a positive way and good manner in order to also be judged positively otherwise will be judged negatively whatever the effort made to be where we are because our attitude reflects our image.

We are afraid of the wrong things

People these days tend to be afraid of the wrong things due to so many bad things happening daily in people lives and/or surrounding them due to the fact of seeing many bad things. Sometimes the things that could be right seem therefore to be seen as bad and that could be concluded as wrong things.

I remember one day when seat at a friend place and his cousin came along with his family i.e. wife and their eight-year old son while my friend and his wife had their seven-year old daughter. When we seat, the children went to the bedroom to play and later we could hear my friend daughter saying put some saliva so that it could enter. Alarmed without knowing for sure what was going on in the bedroom, both parents of respective children i.e. my friend’s couple and his cousin’s couple ran to the bedroom thinking that children were about having sex and surprisingly they found children were playing with the needle and the daughter want to put the linen and as it could not pass through, she asked her cousin to put some saliva so that it the linen could enter.

Afterwards, the parents laughed to death and I was so shocked by the way people could be afraid of wrong things and since that day, I understood that the fact of always thinking negatively, people are even afraid of the wrong things.

What is the colour of the wind?

Saying that the wind has a colour, many will not agree but that can be understood to some extent in supernatural level of science or at a traditional basis. Any human being could experience a high level thinking as to find the real colour of something because these existing colours have been scientifically in an anthological way agreed, which could also be disagreed currently if one can oppose his/her thought related to that.

I would say that when a blind person looks at the stars, he or she can only see the light of his or her heart; therefore the wind could have a particular colour depending on the conception of one person to another. I would say that the colour of the wind is white or grey and that according to me and another person could say the colour of the wind is silver or third person could say that the colour of the wind is gold.

As human being and from African continent, we basically trust in beliefs and the wind in certain aspects and contexts of life is symbolic to some traditions and cultures and that is materialised by its colour. For instance, when the wind blows in my culture, the position to which the rainbow is positioned in that specific moment, which appearing in various colours, indicates whether is going to rain or not; tough, elders can tell the exact colour appearing most than others and influenced by the wind, and give the exact explanation of what is going to happen.

Therefore, according to some cultures, the wind could have a specific colour depending on a specific moment such as when raining influenced by the rainbow. However, that is based on traditional basis and not necessarily scientific, ontological or anthological.
