IGNORANCE and lack of information has led to our destruction and at the end of the day we have no one to blame but ourselves. Our lives have become a ticking bomb as we continue to abuse drugs and be involved in activities that are disastrous. At the end of the day we suffer in silence.
The mind is a powerful tool we have been told that if you take drugs you’re “dope” in the eyes of men, but who is life is being wasted? Our friends have dragged our colourful future down the drain because of ignorance.
Lack of information will only lead to your dead end that’s why AmaNdebele say: “Ukungazi kufana lokufa” and indeed the saying is true.
It might be good today but tomorrow it’ll hurt more. It is never too late to ask for help.
In so many times we are told that men do not cry but we are losing future leaders and breadwinners because of ignorance. What differentiates us as human beings from animals are emotions.
Everyone is bound to go through depression just like the change of seasons from summer-autumn-winter-spring. Men cannot suffer alone when they can also get help.
Suicide cases are rising by day when therapists and counsellors are also rising. They’re there for us to get information they’re there for us to be helped.
Do not be ashamed to get help for it’ll be beneficial to you at the end of the day. Help yourself save you for the world needs someone like you.
Do not turn a blind eye on people who want help. Be a good ambassador and help us as we fight against social ills. Be informed and help others find themselves again.
