So you think you are important?

Ndio.....kwa sababu mama yangu aliniambia hivyo.

Au mnataka kuniambia kuwa mama alinidanganya aliponiambia kuwa mimi ni mtu muhimu sana kwenye dunia hii??

Hakukudanganya, except kila mtu anaambiwa hivyo hivyo.

You are special, but everybody is special and your being special fades into the oblivion of 7 billion special souls.

Wewe kuzaliwa binadamu tu ni special, kwa sababu sperm iliyokutoa ilishinda nyingine milioni 800 ndiyo ukazaliwa wewe, lakini kila mtu alizaliwa hivyo hivyo.

When she told you are special, may be she meant that you are unique. She was right every human being is unique.

I think none is important that the other, none is even important than cows or tree.

At that level mamako hajakosea hata kidogo.
Kadhalika ulipokuwa mtoto uliamini kuwa baba/mama ndiyo wenye nguvu na uwezo wa kila kitu. Ilikuwa na maana yake kukulea uamini hivyo.Ililenga kukupa confidence na kujisikia salama.Ni vizuri pia ukiamini kuwa you are an important person on earth.....lakini sidhani mama alikuambia kuwe u r the only important person au udharau wengine.Naamini kabisa kuwa alikulea na kukuadilisha uwe mnyenyekevu na uheshimu wengine ili uwe mtu muhimu kweli. Its all philosophical!
 
yes you sir you are all that, to your mother you are! and each one is to their own kinfolks... but in the great picture.. we are nothing but a mere dot in the Bible of the Universe!

that is why the Psalmist says this:

When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him? Psalsm 8:3-4

Naipenda kwa kiswahili:

"Ninapoziangalia mbingu
Kazi ya vidole vyako,
Mwezi na nyota ulizozitanda,
Mtu ni nini hata umfikiria,
Mwanadamu hata umkumbuke?"

And when Christ comes he says this:

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of our head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows.

Matthew 10:29-31

All this brings me to this classical hymn (Moses Kulola used to like it a lot)

 

Pundit my friend, i just wish you believed in souls, maana nakumbuka ulikanusha hapa: https://www.jamiiforums.com/showpost.php?p=208605&postcount=59

hapo ndipo ningeuona uhai wa stars na planets uko comparable na huu wetu, na tabia za binadamu (nyodo na maringo) na kulipuka kwa stars na kunyauka into dwarfs kungelileta uahueni katika hizi beliefs zetu na comparisons!!

Nevertheless, i admire your comprehensive understanding in these matters.

Mkuu, Lakini hiyo siyo kuondoa imani, yaweza kuwa mavumbi yenye roho kwa sababu yote ni imani.

Niliposema kusahaulika hapo juu, nilikuwa na maana ya hapa duniani ndani ya nadharia ya kiulimwengu, lakini si kumaanisha kiroho.

Asante kwa kuliona hilo. Hata hivyo nililifikiria mara mbili kabla ya kuliandika 🙂
 

Steve,

I utilize the full repertoire of word's meanings, not only the first and most widely used meaning. Here soul is used in the context of meaning 4, not 1.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/souls

1.The animating and vital principle in humans, credited with the faculties of thought, action, and emotion and often conceived as an immaterial entity.

2.The spiritual nature of humans, regarded as immortal, separable from the body at death, and susceptible to happiness or misery in a future state.

3The disembodied spirit of a dead human.

4.A human: "the homes of some nine hundred souls" (Garrison Keillor).

5.The central or integral part; the vital core: "It saddens me that this network ... may lose its soul, which is after all the quest for news" (Marvin Kalb).

6.A person considered as the perfect embodiment of an intangible quality; a personification: I am the very soul of discretion.

7.A person's emotional or moral nature: "An actor is ... often a soul which wishes to reveal itself to the world but dare not" (Alec Guinness).

8.A sense of ethnic pride among Black people and especially African Americans, expressed in areas such as language, social customs, religion, and music.

9.A strong, deeply felt emotion conveyed by a speaker, a performer, or an artist.
Soul music.

On this point, you are absolutely right!
 
What about the Darwin's theory of survival for the fitest.

Is that human being who always embrace graft feel important than other citizen?

What about someone who hasn't got a chance to express opinion because he/she doen't have access to internet, will he /she feel important or part of those who call themselves important ones.
 

Astronomy truly is mind-boggling. Can you spot the sun on both diagrams?






  • The sun travel at a speed of 251 km/s, so that it completes one revolution every 225–250 million years.
  • The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy at a distance of approximately 26,000 to 27,000 light-years from the galactic center, moving generally in the direction of Cygnus and completing one revolution in about 225–250 million years (one Galactic year).
  • At the center of Galactic core is where you'll find the "black hole".
