EDITORIAL COMMENT: Let’s not live fake lives

Death is no doubt the worst thing that can happen to us as human beings.

It’s known and certain that we will certainly leave this planet, at one point or another, and in one way or the other.

However, what we don’t know is the time when we will depart this world.

The most painful part of death is it generally strikes when we least expect, leaving many of us grief-stricken.

It also brings about grief, pain and sorrow to relatives, and friends, of those who would have lost their loved ones.

The irreplaceable gap it leaves makes it such a tragedy at all levels.

Sometimes, death also lifts the lid on other issues, which would have been concealed, during the lifetime of those who would have passed on.

In recent months, we have been carrying some sad stories, which exposed some of the popular figures’ real lifestyles.

It turned out that most of these celebrities, and influencers, we loved, and believed were living luxurious lifestyles, were actually living some fake lives.

Some of these celebrities, who lived a fake life, have either succumbed to depression or ended their lives in a terrible way.

Living a fake life has often driven many to commit suicide.

South Africa-based businessman, and events management guru, Kudzai “Boss Vlad Duk,” who committed suicide last week, is one such prominent figure, who succumbed to the pressure of living a fake life.

With all the so-called riches, which he paraded on social media, and the famous all-white parties, which he used to host, it turned out he was swimming in debt.

Not only was he financially hamstrung but he could not afford a funeral policy.

How he failed to invest in his own death shows how reckless, irresponsible and careless he was.

Investigations by H-Metro have shown that his family had to hold a private burial to avoid further embarrassment and what makes it disappointing is that this is a man who was literally worshiped by many as a big shot.

This was someone who portrayed himself as a mbinga and would annually splash huge sums of money to host all-white parties.

Boss Vlad Duk’s case should come as a huge lesson to those living a fake life.

Once you start living a fancy life, you have to sustain it, which is difficult, in most cases.

People who live a fake life are now on the increase with some chasing social media fame.

In life, people should learn to live within their means and avoid being in the limelight for all the wrong reasons.

Living a fake life has also fueled a surge in mental health issues.

This can only be resolved when we are content with what we have as human beings.

In a nutshell, let’s avoid fake lifestyles and live within our means.

There is no need to try and sell the world a dummy, of a life being lived in paradise, when the reality is that we would be struggling to make ends meet.
