Chapter 1

On aging

After a decade of living peacefully and pleasantly in a village that was once stirred by jealousy and insecurities.

A new generation arouses that didn't know the history and the unfavorable past experiences of the land.

They were young men and women driven by their instinct and the desire to flourish irrespective of the cost and even at someone else's downfall.

Again peace was dethroned by their misconception and misconduct that even jealousy, quarrels and fights seize the opportunity to rule the land with an iron fist.

At this point, the man who was once the pillar of harmony and fraternity, a man who fought against discredit with honor, a man who fought against adversity with humility and a man who was referred to by the villagers as "The blind man with greater insight was getting old to the extent that he was becoming sightless again.

Meanwhile wrongful conduct continued to terrorize the land since the young men and women grew up with the mentality that drunkenness is wisdom and soberness is foolishness.

Attending church and serving God was an insult to their ideology of serving youthful desires.

Alcohol addiction blinded them into perceiving that darkness is light and light is darkness.

Amongst them; real men were characterized by the number of women they had in possession, meanwhile real women were characterized by the number of young men they seduced into their domain.

However, what every one of them could show as a result of alcohol and sexual immorality at the end of the day was wounds, brokenness, unfaithfulness, animosity, accidences, losses, diseases and death.

It is absolutely true that at some point, drunkenness can turn a wise man into a complete fool.

In his old age; the blind man could always wake up to take his walking stick making his way to sit under the Kigelia africana tree, commonly known as a sausage tree.

He could sit under that tree all day long, and after a little while his wife would also join him there.

Time went by and the blind man's wife was getting worried due to his husband recent behavior, for he started talking alone to the extent that he was perceived by many people to be running mad.

Though his wife could always pardon such thoughts with the idea that it is all because of old age, in the meantime she couldn't escape the fact that her husband is a son to a late mad woman.

It came to pass that one day their daughter visited them from her matrimonial home.

They were sitting under the sausage tree as usual when she arrived.

Few minutes later after exchanging greetings with her, the blind man begun his usually associated with madness habit.

He stood up from the bench, and moving around with the appearance of unsettlement he started saying; the heart is too fragile to harbor deep hurts he did that repeatedly about five times before his wife could settle him down.

Apparently their daughter came at least to share with them her painful and tiring experience with people of disadvantaged background.

Nevertheless after seeing that her father was losing it, she decided to turn her full attention to her mother.

She said; "mother, the day before yesterday I quarreled with a certain barren and poor woman in the market.

It is without doubt that she was coming from cultivating people's farms since it is her source of living, but what baffled me is the audacity she had to ask me for water to drink.

How is it that I, the crowned princess of this land will share a bottle of water with a worthless commoner?

Then on the same day on my way home, I came across a man in torn and dirty clothing.

All of a sudden, he started shouting my name but I ignored him; however that didn't stop him from rushing me until he grabbed my garment begging for a parcel of food.

Mother, he was so annoying, thank God I managed to kick him away from me."

After narrating the story of her experiences, her mother was saddened by the beggar’s disrespectful acts towards her daughter the princess.

Nevertheless the blind man was listening to their conversation, and he was deeply disappointed by his wife's comments on the matter.

Without their careful observation, he gave them laughter of mockery saying; People who live in glass houses shouldn't play with stones, and those who built their houses on sand shouldn't provoke the wind

And after saying those words, he stood up and took his walking stick to navigate his way to the house.

In the meantime; there was a moment of silence between the mother and daughter trying to figure out the meaning of what the blind man just said.

After realizing that they were thousands miles away from finding the meaning, they followed him into the house.

He was already lying on the bed with his eyes closed when they came in, they were still shocked at what he said outside and none of them could utter a word for some minutes.

However the blind man felt their presence in the house, he then opened his mouth and said; "you were once poor and cultivated people's farms to earn a living, now what makes you think such occupation is worth disgracing someone at your prosperous living?.

You once wore the shoes
