You can’t get cocky for so long, for being too talented or extremely skilled in your art. You might get outclassed in a split second by someone largely underrated, or far less skillful than you are. How this happens, remain a total mystery!
I do agree every fighter gets beaten, and the most anyone can hope for is to be on top for a while, but life never get to play it fair!

A lot of times, the best singers are hardly the fans’ favorite, while the not-so-great singers turn out to be the delight of the fans, sometimes for trivial reasons such as their expertise in fashion!

In the corporate world, a couple of times, the academically less qualified get the job ahead of the ‘well-decorated’ over qualified!
Isn’t it really ‘unfair’ to be punished for having paid too much attention to academics, acquiring a lavish grade in the process, but failing in street smart? LOL!

It’s quite breathtaking how some promiscuous women end up in marriage with committed men, at the expense of some religious and celibate women. While some philandering men, astonishingly find solace in the arms of loving and understanding women, at the expense of some committed and faithful men. Funny how things work out, isn’t it?

Doesn’t it get really annoying and pointless, when the smooth chances of your favorite football team winning the league, are completely shattered on the last day by a least-deserving relegation bound team, after the huge efforts and consistency all through the season.

For Christian folks, we were told Lucifer rebelled just once in heaven and got himself banished for eternity! But humans curse God and live, and are always entitled to multiple privileges of pardon! Really adorable I must say, but somewhat unfair to that demon right? (no wonder the devil gets so mad at us!)

Life is certainly not fair to certain categories of thieves in some places in the world and Africa! A government official who embezzle public funds, get cheered and applauded by a chunk of supporters, while a common thief who dispossesses someone of a phone, is lynched to death or set ablaze by the roadside!

Life never get to play it fair! So enjoy the benefits of life while it favors you at someone else’s expense, but keep an open-mind incase it suddenly swirls at your expense!

  1. The post got cocky for so long it’s time news paper owners stopped favouring the government of the day. This is the route Mr Sakala is taking. Very dangerous for himself and it’s unprofessional and the best is not to take sides when politicians are fighting.

  2. Nice article the problem with Zambia is we are not interested in truth. Today I saw a RSTA vehicle cruising through all the pedestrian crossing in Chilumbulu registration number ABP 4912 at exactly 10:37. So RSTA you want to teacher children and all of us to obey traffic and yet you are the first ones to disobey the same ba Zindaba talk to me. I called your famous 983 no one picks how do we help frustrated.

  3. IT TAKES MORE THAN COMMON SENSE TO SEE SENSE IN THIS ARTICLE. IT IS CALLED SATIRICAL WRITING. THE PERSON WHO WROTE THE ARTICLE IS GOOD. JUST TO HELP THOSE WHO MAY HAVE MISSED WHAT THE WRITER IS SAYING & THOSE SAYING HAVE IMPORTANT ISSUES LIKE FRED M’MEMBE ISSUES; IN THIS ARTICLE, M’MEMBE IS WRITE IN IT. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT TALKS ABOUT THE JUNGLE LAW THAT SEEMS TO BE PREVAILING AT THE MOMENT & THOSE CALLING THE SHOTS. THIS ARTICLE IS SIMILAR TO GEARGE OWELL’S ANIMAL FARM.

    • Only the smart ones can see the sense in this article, the comments above just shows how shallow some of our fellow citizens are.

  4. HOW IS THIS ARTICLE RELATED TO REFEREE SIKAZWE SOUNDS LIKE A DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER FOR ME BECAUSE I THOUGHT SIKAZWE DID BAD REFERING IN JAPAN AND GOT HONOURED INSTEAD.
    EISH, KWENA MULALEMBA BANE

  5. What is this writing all about? Is he suggesting that Jans Sikazwe does not deserve to be recognised as a good referee or Cameroon did not deserve to win the last match played. What is the writing all about. Advise to the writer: he should not write in riddles to deceive people what he meant. Similarly, the language should be simple and not use borrowed sentences from the Encyclopedia or Kongi’s Harvest book! Good writers use words that can easily be understood by every reader.

  6. As a senior blogger I have to say this is one of the best articles I’ve ever read in my almost 10 years of being on this site!
    Ba Lsk why don’t you create a seperate category for blogger awards such as best pro govt blogger and worst pro DunderHead blogger- the prize for worst definitly goes to Chilyata whose absence is as a result of him suffocating on a pair of flithy brucerossis diseased gonads at HH’ abattoirs.

  7. The comments above are worrying and what is even more worrying is that the pipo making these comments are the so called educated ones.No wonder Sata managed to be President in Zambia.
