30 years and still counting...Now we have a Sole Candidate(read dictator). In my
few years here,I have come to see apathy embrace even the die-hards who saw a
glimpse of change coming.But most of all,I have seen unemployment,lawlessness,
and mediocrity eat up the whole Country.
People are okay with enough,No one wants
to struggle so hard...but yet again everyone wants to live comfortable.I hate to
compare,but in development it makes for a better view of one's journey if you
can pick lessons from other Nations that have grown exceptionally.We have been
sold to a lie that a few road works and the discovery of oil shall deliver us
to the state of a Middle Class Economy(read Country).
We have been told that
there will be job opportunities,increased income and all that kind of dreamy nice
stuff.But we have not been told the struggle of true worth...Human
development.In Countries where development has happened and the standard of
living is very good also has a very good work ethic. While here in Uganda,we get
to have a whole 8-11 hours of sleep and nothing to do.Countries that are
developing have pushed their day into the night.They work hard to make a better
life for the generation to come.
While we are home by 7:00pm, other people are
off to work and while we sleep...Nations are developing by the candle light. My
friend from the States on living here for a while was rather disturbed...He
finds the nights so long here in Uganda. I understand his point.We have chosen
to sleep while the thieves snatch the dream of our generation and generations to
come.
We were given a lie for fundamental change.
