Prohibited Rapport | Maarman Maatla A Pula | Survice Masterly | Short Story | Subtle Stars

  lisapoyakama.org PROHIBITED RAPPORT" Teller; [°•Maarman Maatla A Pula•°] Editor:[☆ MAsterly ☆] Bonolo, prince of Ga-Nkwe, was 30. The majorly King Nkwe was of his mere adulthood, to which he even called for a gathering of which he'd officially make Bonolo the king at his minor age. He was indeed old, affected by short sightedness, yet approximately without hearing abilities. Bonolo was a little bit loathsome, for he never thought he could rule the whole village at such time of his age. "My son, as you are now a king, know that you shall meet an orphan lady of which you shall make a Queen, she is the one to protect and ride with you. Follow whatever she instructs you to," said King Nkwe. Ga-Nkwe was a dependent village having all requirements inclusive of both public schools and more job opportunities of which everyone was given work according to their experiences. It was a place which sized 1000 Hectors and 900km far from other villages which then mingled and ...

The Guy I Met | Molebatso Mogane | Short Story | Subtle Stars

Image
Picture from:  HuffPost I am Sibahle from a small village of Rietfontein, I am 22 years of age. I used to live with my mom and dad in a small shack house. Both my parents are unemployed due to lack of knowledge and skills. We would go to sleep with empty stomachs sometimes, while some other days mom would try to provide for us with the little she would gather selling veggies for my rich neighbour. It was really sad how both my parents were struggling, but I told myself that since I am done with my secondary level, I'll go to Joburg and look for a proper job because there was no money to pay for my further studies. So, in 2022/07/23, I decided to leave and go look for work at Joburg. I had a friend around the area namely Charlotte, who accommodated me at her place to stay while job hunting. I searched and searched for employment, but I was unable to find one. One day, my friend came to the house where we lived in, drunk, then started insulting me, telling me that I should pay rent ...

Fine Art America O ile kgaetšedi ya masogana Mamoswana Noši. A š ole yena difarong maalong a Farao, O Apešitšwe tša go taga ka Letago.

Ikele pontshwana morwedi wa pontsho, Yena a re bontshitšego tše kgethwa. Author: Authur Maarman

When I Die | Discussed | Survice Masterly | Subtle Stars

Image
Picture From:   HuffPost When I die, I want to be remembered, for the joy I brought, the laughter I raised, the love I gave, the opportunities I had opened, the family I put together, for my faithfulness and all the loyalty I’d shown. I mean, when I die, nothing else will matter. The money I made, the people I’d dated, the cars I drove, the parties I attended, the tours I toured, nor all the food I had. All those will not matter. It is to my understanding that when a person dies, all material things are left on earth as they are, and you depart the physical world with just yourself. So It is said, to what good is it that one gains the whole world but loses their souls? Work on an amazing relationship with thyself, become aware of your feelings, thoughts and events surrounding you. You do not want to spend your whole life wasting energy on material things over things that actually matter, like a bond with yourself. Author: Survice Masterly

Holding on to negativity | Power of the mind | Survice Masterly | Subtle Stars

Image
Picture By:  eBay  A young wise man once said to me, “lies make sense to believe”, and he is so right. The devil will work night and day making sure that you fall for his lies. Remember “lies make sense”, but lies only conceive the unwise, and when one holds on to those lies, they become so arrogant and stubborn to be advised otherwise, so, be very careful with what you hold on to.  When I say negativity, I’m talking about grudges, hopelessness, unforgiving, anger, jealousy, believing everything that you think makes sense and judging. All those negative things make you a victim of your own crime. You trap yourself in a cell unaware.  Your life is measured like a box, and only a limited things can fit into a box. You control what you fill your box with. There are a lot of useless things that can take up space for the most useful things. Imagine if all those, grudges, anger, worry, judgements and unforgiving took up space for, confidence, joy, success and a ...

Picture by:  https://www.addastories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/the-sun-way-street-man-48775-e1505212019702.jpeg   Only pure hearts get of their desire. We drink and smoke like no one is watching. It isn't right sleeping without food. Poverty is the most potent weapon destroying humanity. Boys try to abolish it by indulging themselves with wrong choices. Girls open their legs to the different men in exchange for money. We shouldn't judge them, since we do not know about obstacles along their paths.  Alcohol has now become a way of living, and we try to fit and fade the shame. Outfits, beauty and handsomeness have been made part of our needs. We pray sometimes, hoping that things will get better one day. We bad mouth others because of jealousy. Families are demolished by greediness. Schools have become less important because we seek for rapid wealth. Truth has become insult, we no longer have faith in God. Life gets hard for many of us. The poor become more poorer each...

Picture from: Pinterest | 1024 × 576 jpeg | 5 yrs ago Aim not to be "the only one", but instead, be "the one". I believe it is about time I wrote something about one of the reasons why people fail in relationships. see, we are living in a generation where people lie a lot, more usually to get what they desire. Teenage people are so obsessed with the idea of attachment, whereas the qualities of maintaining relationships be an issue to them. I personally have experienced being in a relationship where I wanted her to be my only, meanwhile I was not hers alone. I now understand that, for a teen my age, Relationships should not mean anything that growth. We go out, have fun, make love and enjoy ourselves. and if there's one thing we should not do, is attaching ourselves to other people. why am I saying all of these? maybe I do not make sense, but I believe that victims of a situation like mine understand undoubtedly. In a generation like this, it is no longer about b...

Think Power Thoughts | Power of the Mind | Survice Masterly | Subtle Stars

    Picture from:   https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/mounting-brain-organoid-research-reignites-ethical-debate You are capable of whatever you believe you are capable of. Words become food of the mind. You can either build or destroy yourself, all resulting from the food you feed your mind. Positivity builds, negativity destroys. So do yourself a favour today and feed your mind the ability to reject negativity and accept everything that is positive.  What I have realised lately is, a lot of people believe in their negative words more than they believe in the positive words they hear. A lot of people fail because they feed the mind with fear, doubt, worry, disbelief, hopelessness and less faith. I have realised that it is easy for most people to believe that they “can’t” do than they believe that they “can” do it. Most people feed the mind negativity unaware. Joyce Meyer mostly preaches about “the power of thoughts”. You become the person you think you can b...

  Do What You Promise To Do, Your Words Are Your Bond. It is Quite simple to just say words "I Promise." But what happens when the words turn agaisnt you? afterall, whether you believe it or not, Karma Lives, and KARMA GIVES YOU WHAT YOU GIVE multiplied. This means, the more promises you make, the more karma promises you, thus the more promises you break, the more karma breaks its promises as well. Don't get me wrong, karma is all about fixing inhumanity. Karma is GOOD to the good. So, DO NOT RUSH making uncertain promises, for your own good. Author: Survice Masterly.
