What A Man Thinks

By Harrison Phaho

The book largely encompasses emphasis on the human strength upon creation, evoking cognition on who in the world created what, when, ahead of whom etc. prepared in African perspective and on motivational background. It dwells significantly on the black society's landmark hesitation to propel itself through adverse corridors to recreation, and the drastic repercussions thereof.

Our flawlessness is often improved by what we observe outside of ourselves, that is grander, and so, a silent eye of envious admiration revokes the majestic dogma.

Preface

Through few of my recent years I have had the discovery of my probable ability to prepare literary works. Although hesitant at first, I was never shy to finally display the ultimate beauty of such discovery. The conjunctive discovery I had made is that our world, as we know it, speedily cross-fades from underlying fundamentals into unsettling moral rebranding, thus losing its strong foundations, besides which the world lacks in zeal, and this is basically what my material is predominantly based on. I would particularly like to thank the One who art in heaven, God, the Creator of heaven, earth and all the things on it, for having granted me this opportunity. I would also like to convey my heartfelt gratitude to my father, N.J Phaho, and my mother, T.D Phaho, for having brought me, through waves of time, to this age, and finally, thanks also to a close friend of mine, Pule Masha CA (SA), for having been so close to me through some turbulent times as well as everyone in my ligament and forming integral part of mine. There can be no limitations to this and I feel that with this strength, I can create beyond any predicament.

Chapter I

Concord Of The World Society

I prepare this communication as a thoughtful symbol of how desirable worldly circumstances should be, or ever have been, and how any considerate heart would wish to imagine the possibilities of a potential path towards any meaningful accomplishment within the human social universe, through the affinity of mankind and the world, by avoiding issues such as revulsion, jealousy, moral indiscipline, lethargy, apathetic mannerisms and not allowing these to prevail within the social order of human beings. Let’s just consider this as falling within a repertoire of preparations such as the hands wash each other principle, though perhaps belonging to another version.

I believe strongly that, by any telling effect, in the event of two or more intertwined segments of dealings, the composite nature of either segment bearing analogy to the other, should by any length of absoluteness, reciprocate the analogous segment in the approximate similar amount of effect imposed initially by the other segment of the interface.

i.e on a standard functional responsibility, undertaking is one segment, and the task itself is the analogous segment, therefore the amount of harvestable produce depends on the stretch of undertaking throughput, or, when affectionate appreciation exists in one person towards another, such appreciation stems from a particular feature or personality trait generated by appreciation in the recipient, so that this personality feature is reciprocated by the inclining inbound affection, or vice versa. I will try to emerge more comprehensible going forward.

Anyhow, in any dimensionally intrinsic view, understanding that life is not a schoolyard, does, in itself, engender meaningfulness within this journey which all beings have to accept, and which makes it the most preeminent and solemn of all human matters, particularly following the view that periodic and recurrent calamities can occur, despite perpetual merriment, which will certainly always be reinvigorated by human imperfections.

Under this burden, influences compel any man to learn to the best of his capacity in decent faith and understanding, to share the sentiment behind crying with those crying, to be happy for, and with, those who happily accept that others may be greater than them, in an amicable understanding that there will always be someone greater, someone parallel and someone below themselves, and that any kind of imagination and prospect of themselves becoming the greatest beings alive has no actual foundation.

Every taste bud adores enduringly shining plethora; an attribution of any perpetually resisting separation with such standards has forever gone wholly mythical.

Any human being, regardless of whether s/he is royal, or belongs to a traditional or corporate dynasty, or dwells in any state of nobility whatsoever, can, almost always, be reduced to submission or overwhelmed by natural and insurmountable adverse fortunes, although the magnitude and the impact of these depends on the nature of the adversary, as also the amount of available counterbalancing capabilities.

Thus, even though we may sometimes feel dispirited by the achievements of our companions and fellows, and as difficult and oppositional as this feeling may be, still, we owe these fellows a celebration of their success, regardless of the harshness of times, hardships, bereavement and ill fortunes we often experience, and also to share the pain, agony, adversity and distress of those in our proximity, even while we enjoy abundant conviviality and the tastes of life. At such times, we should still be able to give out sincere, pure and unmixed words and gestures of credit, praise and commendation where this seems due, even for matters in which we, ourselves, have never achieved any excellence.

It seems certain that liberal harmonisation of the original human race existence plan and the deliberate success of mankind would relish a delicate propensity. Such possibilities beg consideration, since they invite imaginative perspectives.

Abilities to communicate perfections of mankind appropriately is not my area of expertise, nevertheless, I am of the view that the blossoming garden applauds the soil in which it is rooted.

A seed of pain within the hearts of our fellow beings should always be felt equally within our own hearts, in our collective effort to give birth to effortless counter-devotion, the beginning of swift, ongoing fixed understanding, peacefulness and unification as per the natural set-up, to enforce the obliteration of perturbation, conflict, deception and other such uncivilised confusions, and, most importantly, work.

A collective effort and heartfelt dedication to establishing concord would establish a tradition from a whole new redefinition of the general meaning of human life, and might sponsor renewal, celebration and foster appreciation for the grandest landmarks of an efficacious society, for now and forever more.

Harmony forms a derivative of just transactions and is the incumbent of fluency.

I would insist that, in such moments as circumstances are favourably arranged for ourselves, someone else somewhere is receiving no favourable embellishments from life. I envisage that such good fortune could not be bestowed everywhere simultaneously. So, in such circumstances, due to the intrinsic link between man and the world, it is only fair and merciful that waves of empathy be exchanged thoroughly across the divides, letting your heart expand, stretching your soul and demonstrating benevolence.

Regardless of our diverse backgrounds, profiles, faiths, beliefs, values, norms, characteristics, cultures, traditions and every humanistic and social pattern to which we, ourselves, belong, we will always experience commonality around particular concepts with respect to our mutual background as part of the human race. To this end, we are all active subordinates of appreciation, hospitality, love and all incentives responsible for the facilitation of an ultimate sense of belonging to all those around to us.

The greater aspect to focus on is, however, whether we personally contain the ability and sincere willingness to reverse or display similar aspects with regard to those who initially awarded them to us, with an uncompromised strength of enthusiasm, with a glowing imagination concerning how favourable we would cause the overall course of our coexistence to become, generation after generation.

Carrying matters forward, the human mind proves to be the most competent source of accomplishment, yet it does not operate entirely by itself, since man holds eventual input and engages in the subsequent course of action behind the conceptions imposed by his mind. A competent brain sees far beyond what an eye could, and customarily explores foreign possibilities. Given this fact, why would adverse events unfold upon man, even when the nature of the latter does not necessarily overlap the nature of the brainpower available to him and is altogether foreseeable and well within his control?

For instance, why would tireless exertion be applied to the creation of tools, instruments, and systems that could later work drastically against those very people who created them? Instead, why can we not only apply our effort to the creations which would undoubtedly be supportive of our welfare and goodwill, in so far as the possibility of that notion could extend?

The answers to all these questions lie within whatever motivates some of our dreadful actions, but then a further question arises as to how we happen to possess such unreasonable motives or what facilitates their occurrence in the first place.

If we ever embrace the ideology that inspires concepts which destroy our very own well-being, then it might just emerge that the human mind is as completely destructive as it is constructive, or, just maybe, this powerful token is simply utilised more randomly than it is positively put to effect.

In their wild world, innovative creations do not really exist, given that that creativity was never donated to their cognitive tools by Mother Nature. Nonetheless, being the least creative of the two, between themselves and man, animals somehow manage to secure ways to enjoy the experience of being alive far more readily than their oxygen-drawing, two-legged counterparts.

In the wild Amazon, for example, there is no factory responsible for the production and distribution of assault weaponry; life is so swiftly woven together and everything understands everything else; the enchanting cry of birds and assorted animals as they dutifully welcome the sunrise on any morning is complimented by the aromatic smell released into the clean, uncontaminated morning air by flowers and plants of diverse origin.

Every being and every element plays its enthusiastic part in the celebration of life while it lasts. Rivers transport streams of fresher, cleaner and hygienic water into lakes and oceans that passionately await the delivery of water as though thirsty, and the general environment provides an aura of joyous peacefulness and high-spiritedness.

All that remains for Mother Nature to do in such great conditions, is to pause her affairs and behold the splendour of her own, which is life, easily lived. In contrast, the human world, which is so outstanding and evidently privileged with the power to create, labours under an awful tendency to create inventions that do not nurture the elements within the glory of mankind.

Since this is the circumstantial fortune at the disposal of wild, living beings, I often wonder who, out of man and the animal kingdom, has the ability to channel thoughts towards unselfish effective use. Nevertheless, we will safeguard the course of man and preserve his right to the throne of astuteness. So man is clearly bestowed with superior mental development, although whether or not we exercise the wisdom we possess remains absolutely a matter of choice.

Thus far, in the entire collective history of the human race, we have been grossly unsuccessful at working to achieve peace, stability and the best of human social welfare, which the origin of man’s existence has always demanded him to impose his willpower over.

Ceaselessly, the tools of destruction outpace the tools of construction. Nations compete fiercely to determine who reserves more budget for or who spends more financial resources on artillery and ammunition, and who will possess the most extensive weapons, while all label this defence, all of them. In fact, the most prominent liability to any nation’s budget is its military, that the global collective spend on military hardware alone exceeded US$1 trillion in 2015. But then you wonder if it is indeed defence, how then do these weapons end up being used? It inspires terror to think about where exactly the world is headed as a result of this misperception.

The capability to conceptualise, produce and distribute or procure these instruments, in itself, ascertains massive intellectual capacity embedded within man, which makes for quite an expedient intellectuality, since, if only it had been utilised previously far more positively than the way in which it is currently being used, the dealings of mankind would be an absolutely chartered affair.

We may sometimes forget that the future is commanded by the present. Thus the material we assemble today will be used in the future and that future does not belong to non-constructive thinkers, but belongs to those brave enough to challenge courses that entertain not only brief sections of the excursion ahead, but extensive distances ahead, and, in case we have forgotten that, it comes as no surprise to discover that this is why we set lethal traps for ourselves.

Throughout the course of existence, human dealings were never uplifted within the parameters of the true spirit of service or faith in operation, and men have always lacked the burning desire to reach lengthy milestones in being truthfully frank, faithful and honest to our industrial ideals, an irony that has grown with the passing of time and has worsened with every emerging generation.

Some of the greatest commentators on the general social attitudes of our times, in consideration of the evolution and involvement of human beings have demonstrated that the book of Genesis, in the Holy Bible, outlines the meaning and power of effortful exertion, i.e. as is entailed by the word ‘Genesis’ itself.

One such commentator would dissect so magnificently the word Genes-is, so as to emphasise human genes, to say that, with the elimination of the suffix –is, the word ‘genes’ is established, and reflects that genes or genetic make-up is a concept which exists in each human, and that the contextual meaning of this denotes that every being who is alive genetically has the potential to carry out sophisticated assignments and to arrive at high points in his/her vocation in his/her own right, as per his/her respective genetic make-up, which therefore explains the occupancy of diverse talents, big or small, not just to a group of people, but to every human being.

Therefore, every person has his/her own capable and impactful talent across any random discipline of functional throughput, although the application of an
